This module will focus on the role of the environment in economics, both in theory and in practice, with large use of real-world examples. At the end of the course students will knowwhy and how markets fail to efficiently allocate resources in the presence of pollution, and how to correct those failures through a wide range of public polices. A second part of the module will focus on environmental cost-benefit analysis, and on the empirical techniques used by economists to put values on environmental commodities.
