| Inhalt |
This course gives an overview of the
recent research in empirical environmental economics. After a brief
introduction to the underlying theoretical concepts, we will mainly focus on
two topics: air pollution and climate change. Students will present and discuss
research papers that address various critical questions related to these two
topics, such as: What are the impacts on human health outcomes and mortality?
How do they impair other aspects of human life, such as labor productivity and
well-being? Finally, we will study different environmental policies and discuss
pros and cons. |
