| Title |
Environmental Econometrics |
| Description |
Environmental policy making intrinsically rests on accurate estimates of the impact of the environment (climate, pollution etc.) on economic outcomes (health, production etc.) and the impact of economic behaviour on the environment. The nature of data and contexts involved, however, make the approaches and challenges fairly unique to the field. This course will cover some of the common problems and methods used in many environmental applications of econometrics.
Sustainable development inevitably will need empirical studies to help evaluate possible relevant policies. This course will provide students with the skill set to do so.
