Courses
Environmental Economics
This undergraduate course explores how economics can address climate change while maintaining living standards. It first covers how to measure environmental damage and design effective policies (e.g. regulation, trade, behavioural approaches). It then examines how to implement and evaluate solutions, including social protection, environmental justice, biodiversity, and clean energy innovation. Overall, it equips students with economic tools to tackle sustainability challenges across policy, industry, and academia.
Environmental Economics for Research Students II
This research course introduces research students to cutting-edge topics in environmental economics, focusing on how policies are implemented and evaluated. It covers key themes such as growth and the environment, climate justice, adaptation and social protection, biodiversity, clean air and water, energy equality, regulation costs, and the roles of behaviour, trade, and migration in shaping environmental outcomes.
Development Economics
This undergraduate course examines the microeconomic drivers of development, focusing on how households and firms make decisions under constraints in low-income contexts. It combines theory and empirical analysis to evaluate policies across areas such as growth, inequality, markets, governance, and climate, with a strong emphasis on evidence-based insights to improve livelihoods and productivity.
