Browse Hierarchy ECON6003: Environmental Economics

This module uses economic theory to analyse economic aspects of environment. The module provides an introduction to the main analytical tools of environmental economics and then uses these tools to critically analyse a range of environmental issues so as to assess the impact of environmental externalities on economic agents and the range of policy responses available to policy makers. A substantial part of the module will be devoted to the analyses of global warming and the policy responses available to address the issue.
