Entwicklungs- und Umweltökonomik
- Environment, Trade and Development Economics (172804)
Termine: Lehrpersonen: Blockveranstaltung Basu, Hicks Inhalt:
This one-week course will cover a new series of lectures on selected topics from the field of development, environmental and trade economics. The lectures which will be based on most current research papers will give deep insights into specific methodologies like conjoint analysis and survey sampling, and selected topics like the economics of eco-labelling, as well as other trade and environmental issues. Profs. Basu and Hicks have both published widely in the fields of development and environmental economics, and international trade. Apart from discussing most recent research papers, students may want to use this opportunity to find out more about the American university system and studying and living in the USA. Bemerkungen:
The students are eligible to receive a certificate of participation (no credits).
- Trade, Development and Environment (172873)
Termine: Lehrpersonen: Mi. 14:15 - 15:45 in III-115 Jena Inhalt:
World trade expansion has raised the issue of the relationship between trade, development and the environment. Is trade good or bad for the environment? The answer is not obvious. The production of goods that are imported and exported, like other production, will often have environmental effects. But will these effects increase or decrease with expanded trade? Will they affect the exporting nation, the importing nation, or the world as a whole? And whose responsibility is it to respond to environmental problems associated with trade? These questions need some serious contemplation.
Against this backdrop, this course is designed to encompass the important aspects of economic growth–trade openness–environment linkage and also provides a full unit on sustainable development. The course will start with theoretical modeling of economic growth and environment linkages and later trade and environment linkages. In the next step, we will discuss the empirical evidence on such theoretical hypotheses. It is interesting to look at recent work on this subject due to their increasing sophisticacy in modeling the possible linkage between trade and environment. I also plan to discuss evidences of global warming and their untoward consequences for human civilization in this course.
Literatur:
Selected reading material will be provided. - Quantitative Environmental Economics (172875)
Termine: Lehrpersonen: Do. 14:15 - 15:45 in III-115 Faße, Winter Inhalt:
This course applies several methods to answer different economic questions using »GAMS« (General Algebraic Modeling System) (e.g. Social and Environmental Accounting, Optimization) and the statistical program»R« (e.g. Ecosystem valuation based on multivariate regression and conjoint analysis). Thereby, basic skills in both programming languages, illustrated in different exercises, will be practiced by the students. This lecture provides different methodologies which can be useful when writing a thesis in the scope of environmental economics.

- Global Environmental Economics / Globale Umweltökonomik (172876)
Termine: Lehrpersonen: Di. 10:00 - 11:30 in III-115 Grote Inhalt:
Environmental problems and externalities, principles and basic concepts as solutions to environmental problems, quantification of environmental goods and services, polluters pay principle, discussion of emission trading systems and the Kyoto protocol, WTO negotiations, specific regional and international agreements about global goods.

- Energy Economics (172878)
Termine: Lehrpersonen: Mi. 10:00 - 11:30 in III-115 Röttgers, Segerstedt Inhalt:
Access to energy is the linchpin of industrial production. Yet the energy market itself is not an ordinary commodity market. In this context many questions arise: What drives energy prices on this market? How is trade of energy products regulated and distorted? How do players deal with market imbalances? How do environmental concerns factor in? This course will provide you with tools to analyse these and other questions linked to energy value chain. With an emphasis on environmental issues we will cover topics surrounding the energy sector like the certification schemes, CO2 trade, national and global institutions, resource management, market power and others.
