Description:

3 Credit Hours Fall Sem. This course describes several conceptual tools and the conventional analytical framework used to characterize the optimal allocation of natural resources over time. While neo-classical resource economics forms the focus, an important component of the course includes an introduction to the field of ecological economics and the three-fold framework of resource management decisions (biophysical constraints and opportunities, economic feasibility, and institutional acceptability). The goal is to enable students to understand and appreciate the economic component of a sustainable relationship between the natural environment system and the political and economic systems of the global society. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Microeconomics (ECN 102).
