Synopsis

This  unit develops principles of environmental and project evaluation
economics.  These  principles  are used  in  the  design  of  economic
policies  to  handle  environmental issues and in  the  evaluation  of
public  and private sector projects. Emphasis is placed upon improving
economic  welfare through the design of better environmental  policies
and  by  the  selection of appropriate projects. Students undertake  a
project   evaluation  exercise  that  includes   an   exploration   of
environmental impact.
