I will have the environmental economics class test tomorrow.
I like the topic, but the professor is a more researcher, rather than teacher.
Her explanation is good, like using her experience. So we can understand the environmental notions easily, like property rights, bound effect, contingent valuation model.
However, the problem is that she is too busy to prepare for the class. Her lecture notes have several mistakes and unfriendly explanation because of short cut of calculation process.
Anyway, I studied about pollution permit trade, depletion theory, property rights and common’s tragedy, and environment evaluation.
I’m happy to understand environmental evaluation method, like Hedonic method, thanks to econometrics knowledge.
Finally, I introduce Amazing TV show about dealing with Climate change by US.
I have never seen such a high quality program to think about climate change objectively!
