1 Course Description Environmental Economics and Policy This course will look to survey issues in environmental economics. It begins with some fundamental concepts in economic analysis and proceeds to the notion of valuing the environment (benefits and damages including a treatment of the economics of pollution). After this, modules deal with specific themes: renewable resources, nonrenewable resources and, finally, climate change. The aim is to develop some sense for the breadth of issues in environmental economics; develop some sense for specific theory in this domain; and its application in the real world (policy). Pre-requisites A course in introductory microeconomics would be helpful. Grading Instruments 20% - Weekly Problem Sets 10% - Presentation* 10% - Class Participation 25% - Mid-term (Modules 1, 2, 3a) 35% - Final (Cumulative with emphasis on modules 3b and 4) *Students will be asked to select and present a paper of their choosing from the list of additional assigned readings 1. Papers will address topics outlined below. Presentations will be brief, primarily descriptive, with some comment on strengths and weaknesses. Students will begin presentations sometime toward the end of the first module. Readings We will rely on the two main textbooks listed below for the development of theory and concepts. Additional readings will help supplement and also serve as material for student presentations. The readings Main Textbooks: Keohane, Nathaniel and Sheila Olmstead (2007). Markets and the Environment. Island Press. Tietenberg, Tom (2004). Environmental Economics and Policy. Addison Wesley. 1 The set of additional readings is tentative a few more may be added. Page 1 of 6

Outline Module 1: The Basics This first module sets out some basic economic principles and tools. We start by developing some sense for economics and its role in informing decisions, specifically those related to the environment. We then proceed to developing concrete concepts in economic analysis such as economic efficiency, benefits and costs, competitive markets, property rights and market failure. We will also discuss the important concept of discounting (with some development of the Ramsey Equation). This module will help us think about what it is that economics can do for us and also its limitations with respect to the environment. Keohane and Olmstead (2007): Chapters 1 5.

However, a lot of environmental goods and services do not have an explicit market price. The purpose of this module is to help us determine what is to be done in the absence of an explicit price for environmental goods and services. We will also consider environmental damages in this section i.e. the economics of pollution. Page 2 of 6

We will begin by defining the two types of resources and discuss the implications of these differences. In module 3a we will study non-renewable resources, such as oil, and think about the pricing and the optimal extraction path. The Hubbert Curve will also be highlighted and our discussion will lead us to a powerful result called the Hotelling Rule. *We might have a guest lecturer for one of our sessions on non-renewable resources, most likely a professional from the Oil and Gas Sector.

These three (forests, fisheries and water) are classic examples of renewable resources and have been studied to a significant degree in the economics literature. We will begin with a treatment of fisheries and forests, where our economic analysis will incorporate elements of biological science (we will derive the Faustmann Rule for optimal forest rotation and develop the Bionomic model for fisheries). We will then study water, a resource of critical importance to Pakistan, and spend considerable time developing our understanding it in an economic and policy context. *We might have a guest lecturer from the World Bank for one of our sessions on water.

We will start with an overview of the science and build some intuition for the workings of climate change. Then, we will consider the economic impacts of climate change and consider some policy options (cap and trade, carbon tax). Finally, we will also look to develop some sense for integrated assessment modelling (combining climate predictions into models of economic output). None.
