We meet twice a week: Tuesday and Thursdays, 1:30 – 2:45 in the Franklin Environmental Center at Hillcrest (FECH) 103 (aka, The Orchard.)
We will read two books:
- Mark Kurlansky’s Cod
- Peter Barnes’ Who Own’s the Sky?
and use many of the articles in another book:
- Stavin’s Economics of the Environment (6th edition)
All of the readings are found on the schedule page. I will also set up an ERES page for ECON 0465.
You must come to class every day ready to discuss in detail the reading for that day. The breakdown for your final grade is as follows:
- Course participation and leadership (25%)
- Mid-term examination (20%)
- Research paper (40%)
- Final exam/policy analysis (15%)
