Introduction to Environmental Cost-Benefit Analysis
Learners explored environmental cost-benefit analysis through some introductory economic concepts. They learned about scarcity and opportunity cost, static efficiency, consumer and producer surplus, competitive markets, and equilibrium. They also investigated market failures related to the environment, including externalities, inequity, and unsustainability. By exploring these concepts and real-world examples, learners can now learn about conducting environmental cost-benefit analysis in full.
