| Content | This course introduces models and methods from resource economics at the example of water management. It covers the theory of exhaustible and renewable resources, analysis of dynamic systems, optimal control theory, aquifer management, river basin management, and management of complex resource systems. |
| Learning objectives | The course will enable students to model and analyze resource systems with methods that are commonly used in scientific studies. Furthermore, students will learn to transfer model results to actual problems of environmental policy and will be introduced to the scientific literature. The main focus will be on modeling and analyzing dynamic resource systems. Students will learn how to model different types of resource systems and how to gain useful insights from the models. The course will cover fairly complex resource systems. However, it does not emphasize advanced theoretical tools but rather the process of modeling and analyzing resource systems. |
| Bibliography | The course is based on journal papers. A list of the covered papers will be distributed during the first week. |
