| Title |
Economic Evaluation of Environmental Goods |
| Description |
Valuation of environmental goods for which markets do not naturally provide a price remains a major challenge environmental policy making. This course is an introduction to the econometric methods of non-market valuation in environmental economics, including cost-benefit analysis. As such it will cover the economic theory background, the statistical building blocks, and practical implementation of the methods involved.
In order to evaluate competing sustainable development policies, policymakers mustbe able to monetarize environmental goods for which there are no markets and hence no explicit prices. This course provides these tools. This event will address various issues of social and economic sustainability. In particular, it will be discussed whether the current technological change increases inequality and leads to a stronger polarization on the labor market.
