    Description
    This introductory environmental and resource economics course focuses on resource, agricultural, and environmental issues and related policy analysis. The course applies microeconomic principles, models and analytical tools to problems of natural resource use and environmental quality caused by human populations. Students examine and evaluate policies to remedy the market failure of inefficient resource use and environmental degradation, both nationally and internationally. ECON 6 is also listed as ENV 6; credit will be given in either area, not both.
