ENVR 210 - Principles of Environmental Economics

4 Hour(s) Credit
Introduction to the concepts and tools economists use to understand human behavior in the context of scarce resources with applications to environmental goods and services that are not typically traded in markets. Analytic tools, including how markets work (and how they fail), are used as an introduction to the trade-offs of alternative environmental policies to deal with pressing issues such as forest degradation, air pollution, water quality and global warming.
