Resource Economics and Sustainable Management
Course Description
Our modern technology- and services-based economy crucially depends on natural resources. Thus, many current policies deal with the overexploitation of natural resources. In the modern economy, the electricity (power) sector plays a central role. On the one hand, it exploits renewable resources (wind, solar power etc.) and non-renewable resources (fossil fuels), on the other hand, it contributes to climate change by exploiting the atmosphere as a non-renewable resource (greenhouse gas dump). Against this backdrop, this course explains basic methods and advanced models and provides a deeper understanding of the underlying economic mechanisms referring to current policy challenges.
