Other Readings I will make several readings available to you as we go along. Graduate students will rely heavily on these and I expect them to be reflected in your exams and the paper. We will use articles in scholarly journals in environment and resource economics, consulting reports, book chapters, and newspaper and magazine articles in the course of the semester. The bulk of the material necessary for your success in the course will come from lectures and in-class discussion of readings. Therefore, it is not recommended that you frequently miss scheduled classes.
All examinations are open book, open note.
You will not be able to write a satisfactory short paper if you are not involved in the special project we will all undertake. Graduate students must tackle the journal articles listed below. The project and the paper are expected to be completed by the undergraduates, but reflecting their skills, which only slightly extend beyond the course itself. I will expect more quantitative analysis, perhaps using more advanced microeconomics, and statistical and econometric methods applied to data collected for the project. I will work with graduate students to achieve the appropriate level of analysis.
