This course will develop the economic perspective on environmental problems and environmental policy. Microeconomic theory can be used to conceptualize "pollution" as an economic problem. This view has direct implications both for the determination of the appropriate (or efficient) level of environmental quality and for the choice of policy instruments for the attainment of environmental standards. Tentatively, the following topics will be discussed:
- Basic Theory of Public Goods and Externalities
- Cost-Benefit and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
- Regulatory Instrument Choice: Command-and-Control vs. Incentive-Based Regulation
- Emissions trading systems their assessment
- Regulatory Instrument Choice and Design under Uncertainty
- Environmental Policy with Pre-Existing Tax Distortions
- Distributional Effects of Environmental Policy
- Intertemporal Externalities
