PA584 - Environmental Management
Course ID
038386
Course Description
This course is a survey of environmental management and economics to maximize social benefit. Covering pollution control, nonrenewable resource extraction, and natural resource management, we address both theory and policy in practice to determine when markets work, when they fail, and what policy can do to help. We also discuss the taxonomy of value and introduce stated- and revealed-preference valuation techniques. This course aims to empower students with a set of tools to rigorously evaluate a range of real-world issues at the human-environment nexus through the synthesis of science, economics, and policy. Basic math (graphing and algebra) will be used in this course, but all concepts will be reviewed during the first class. Students taking this course for graduate credit will complete all the required homework and exams with the undergraduates. In addition, they will also complete a 15-20 page research paper.
