GSE200: Introduction to Environmental Economics
This unit is designed for students whose program does not include a coherent program of study in economics. The basic premise is that the environment is integral to the economic system. But incorporating environment in conventional economic systems is not straightforward, as environmental factors can often not be included in short-term market transactions. Various methods of incorporating environment into a market model are considered, to provide an introduction to development of economic policies that ensure sustainability of natural environments.
