Firms, Policies and Environmental Management

University:
Sanford School

2013
Course description
Sanford School

This course offers an introduction to environmental Management and economics and starts with a market failure from the microeconomics perspective. Like standard microeconomics courses, the focus is on the firm and household decisions and the incentives that can drive them, but here the common question is when private incentives differ from social ones and whether and how to address that. As demonstrated in many examples, this is an important set of ideas for realities of how firms and governments interact.

Schedule:
June 17 – June 28 (6:00pm – 9:00pm)
