WiSe 24/25: Economics of Climate Change
Theocharis Grigoriadis
Kommentar
This is a course on the economics of climate change with focus on analytical tools and policy-relevant debates that underpin what is considered by many the most important issue of global development. It will start with an overview of optimization methods related to pollution control, the allocation of exhaustible resources and the regulation of natural monopolies. It will continue with the introduction of estimation methods on impact and valuation of climate change and its relation to the economic development of the Global South. Climate change is then observed through the lenses of cost-benefit analysis and discounting, uncertainty and equity. A discussion on the relationship between climate and international security as well as an analysis of fundamental quantitative techniques toward the assessment of climate change complete the policy and analytical dimensions of the course. Students are expected to become conversant with the analytical tools and theoretical discussions presented in the literature and related to the economic analysis of climate and its transformation. The course grade is defined by a research paper in the end of the semester.
