| Title |
Environmental Economics: Introduction |
| Description |
Lecturer: Dr. Sarah Spycher
The course provides a theoretical introduction to the field of environmental economics. The course is an elective course either attributable for a Bachelor’s degree in Economics or a Master’s degree in Climate Sciences. Teaching language is English. In the course, we first learn why externalities caused by the unintended joint outputs of production induce perfectly competitive markets to allocate the inputs of production inefficiently and explore the relationship between externalities and the absence of well defined property rights. We then discuss how price and quantity based regulations can overcome these inefficiencies. Finally, we explore the limitations of these instruments in particular regulatory environments, such as asymmetric information and international environmental cooperation. Theoretical insights are complemented by various case studies.
Relevance to "Sustainable Development": The course gives a short introduction to environmental ethics and the Brundtland definition to Sustainable Development and its implications. In addition, the course also provides a general discussion of environmental problems and regulatory instruments from an economic theory perspective.
Language: English
Credits: 3 SWS / 4.5 ECTS
