Special emphasis is placed on the application of economic concepts to the analysis of environmental and other public policy issues. All students are required to subscribe to the class listserv. There will be four or five quizzes given in the recitation periods. Other assignments include about 6 short written exercises based on required readings, and 7 or 8 in-class recitation exercises.
Attendance is required in both lecture and recitation.
