| The course will be build around a central theme, consisting of an environmental or natural resource problem that has connections to environmental regulation, economic valuation and cost-benefit analysis, natural resource economics and other elements of environmental economics. The theme of the course can be changed from year to year. Examples of possible themes are global warming, groundwater pollution, pollution of the Baltic Sea etc. The course consists of several parts. First, the overall theme will be presented. After that, students choose a specific problem within the overall theme to work on in their project group. At a later stage, the project groups present their preliminary findings. Finally, the finished projects reports are presented and evaluated in an oral exam. In the first three weeks of the course, the overall theme will be presented. To this end, several lectures will be given to provide an insight into the specific problem. Also during the first part, several sub issues within the overall theme will be presented from which the students can choose a subject for their project work. Other subjects can be chosen too, as long as they fall within the overall theme of the course. The project work is intended to familiarize students with applied analysis of environmental problems. | |||||||||||||||||
