| Content | This course focuses on model building in environmental and energy economics. We discuss the purpose of economic models, types of models, approaches for setting up theoretical and numerical models, solving those models, and interpreting their results. During the course, groups of students will together build a simple model and use it to answer an assigned research question. The course consists of online material and supervised group work. |
| Learning objectives | This course shows how to build environmental and energy economic models and use them to answer policy questions. Students will (in groups) go through the steps of developing and analyzing their own model and interpreting its results. |
