The course especially invites graduate students who are working on topics in environmental economics from a behavioural economics perspective. This popular course, first offered in 2018 (when it received the best PhD course prize from SLU), and then 2019, online in 2021 and again fully online in 2022. The course aims to provide understanding of topics in environmental and resource economics from a behavioural economics perspective. Participants will learn how to apply the theory and the methods such as field and laboratory experiments to the environmental issues to discover how individuals actually behave, and how normative theories and frameworks fail to capture the actual behaviour.
There is no tuition fee. This course consists of lectures and student seminars, which is meant to ensure that participants receive feedback related to their research ideas from the lecturers and other participants. The course meetings run from 28 November-7 December, and will be entirely online (via zoom).
The post-lecture period includes a take home for master and PhD level students and a discussion essay (2000 words) for PhD students.
