Expanded Course Description
| This course focuses on applications of basic economic theory to natural and environmental resources problems. Topics include economic perspectives on the concepts of sustainability and natural resource scarcity (static and dynamically efficient allocations) for nonrenewable or depletable resources (minerals, groundwater), optimal management of renewable resources (surface water, fisheries, forests), and pollution management strategies (including use of economic incentives such as pollution taxes and/or tradable permits, and legal liability for pollution control). Goals for the course include: familiarity with the economic models pertaining to issues of allocation and management of natural resources and environmental goods; expanded understanding of "externalities," a topic not covered in much detail in most other field courses in economics; familiarity with how economists conduct benefit-cost analysis of alternative allocations of environmental goods where markets do not exist; and an introduction to the political economy of environmental protection. |
