Course of environmental economy

Viterbo, June 27-29
Recent changes and integrations to the Community, National and Local regulations have shown an increasing attention on the relations existing among economy and environment. The approach of the course is focused on both the solution of the environmental problems from an economic perspective (natural resources, pollution, etc.) and the overcoming of the man-centered vision of the environment, recognizing its intrinsic value and introducing ethical matters such as the equity among the generations. Some of the methods usually adopted by economic science, like cost and benefit analysis, externality, economic value of the environmental goods, efficiency and effectiveness of an action in environmental field, have become more and more important. 
The course will be divided in three parts. The first one will deal with the legal and methodological aspects. The second one will concern tools and methods for the integration of environment and economy. The last part will concern the economic tools adopted for environmental decisions. The course will also provide the opportunity to apply the theory to a concrete case through a group work.
