Natural Resource and Environmental Economics Courses

Instruction

Both undergraduate and graduate instruction in Natural Resource and Environmental Economics are available in the Department of Agricultural Economics. At the undergraduate level, in addition to the cornerstone course in Environmental and Resource Economics (AGEC 350), numerous other courses in the department provide valuable tools for the study of natural resource and environmental economics. At the masters level, AGEC 603 and AGEC 604 cover important issues at a graduate level while still being accessible to students without graduate training in economics. At the Ph.D. level, the Department offers a specialization in Natural Resource Economics and Environmental Policy. This program provides rigorous training in applied economic analysis and is capped off with a two-course field sequence. AGEC 673 gives the student a solid foundation in advanced environmental and resource economics, then AGEC 695 explores in depth a small set of topics and frontier analysis being carried out on these issues.
