Estimating climate change damages; evaluating effects of climate policies.
- Local pollution (e.g. air and water pollution)
Estimating effects of local pollution on individuals and firms; environmental justice issues.

Biodiversity; deforestation.The course aims to provide students with an overview of the major questions and debates in environmental economics and a good understanding of how to use empirical tools from econometrics to address them. As the course has a strong empirical focus, knowledge of statistics and applied microeconometrics and basic knowledge of R, Stata or a similar statistical software are expected.
