Inhalte (short description):

​The lecture gives an overview of modern natural resource and environmental economics. Starting with fundamental concepts, several dimensions of environmental economics are introduced. In the first part these dimensions include general issues like ethics, sustainability and welfare concepts. In the second part we look at specific topics like pollution, project appraisal and natural resource exploitation. The students are introduced to theoretical/empirical methods and apply them on economic questions.

The project work is on a recent topic in environmental economics
