GEP 160: Environmental Economic Theory (ECON 175)

This class draws on simple economic tools and game theory to provide a coherent framework that can be used to analyze environmental problems as well as political solutions. The models are relevant for both local and international environmental problems. We will analyze environmental problems as market failures, and how these can be corrected with policies, f.ex., taxes or permits. We will model countries' strategic choices of emissions, their investments in technology, international negotiations and bargaining, and alternative designs of agreements. We will also study political economy forces, documented to be important by the political science literature, that prevent good policies from being introduced, and how policies ought to be designed in order to take these political constraints into account.

GEP 269: Topics and Methods in Global Environmental Policy II

This two-course sequence is a topics and methods sequence focused on the determinants of human well-being over the short and long-run, with a focus on the interplay between environmental factors and human development. The skills relate to gaining facility with main methods that underlie quantitative research in the environmental social sciences, including econometric concepts related to causal inference, spatial data, machine learning, and data visualization. We expect students to enroll in both quarters of the sequence. The course can be taken for 3-5 units and the expectations for students will be adjusted to reflect credits. See syllabus for difference in expectations. Prerequisite: Working knowledge of R (or comparable programming environment) and some previous exposure to econometric methods or upper-level statistics related to causal inference.

GEP 347: Advanced Analysis of Global Environmental Policy

Advanced graduate workshop focused on quantitative interdisciplinary research analyzing global environmental policy. Topics may include surveys of existing global challenges (e.g. climate change, biodiversity, use of outer space), analysis of existing global institutions (e.g. UN, World Bank, treaties), and recently published research papers. Prerequisites: intermediate economics (micro or macro), intermediate statistics / econometrics or equivalent.
