- Class Notes:
- This is a graduate field course on the intersection of Environmental Economics and Development Economics. While often thought of as separate fields, new research in applied microeconomics is bringing them together. The course will explore key themes underpinning environment and development while offering an in-depth survey of the research frontier. At the end, students will be able to answer the following questions: - Why is environmental quality so bad in developing countries? - What are the costs of poor environmental quality in developing countries? - Why is willingness to pay for environmental quality so low in developing countries? - What are the political economy barriers to environmental protection?
