The
speakers at the "Environmental Economics for
Development Policy" course teach you general
principles and techniques, and use case studies, publications,
and software to illustrate the following five themes:
- Analysis
of Environmental Problems
- Setting
Priorities
- Identifying
Policy Responses
- Valuing
Environmental Impacts
- Applying
the Concepts
In
addition to your work in the classroom, you will have
the opportunity to hear from US institutions and their
work in the field of environmental economics as we
are planning a visit to Resources
for the Future (RFF) and the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
To
round up your training, we offer a field trip to study
one environmental problem outside of the classroom.
Last year's participants learned about the environmental
problems of the Potomac River and policies addressing
them, while on a boat on that same river.
