The graduate certificate in environmental and sustainability economics provides training in the economic theory and methodological tools of environmental and resource economics (ERE). ERE provides an approach to evaluate the consequences, social benefits and costs of changes to markets and environmental policies.
The target audience for this certificate are master's and doctoral degree students in fields with a sustainability, environmental science or policy focus, including sustainability, public affairs, biology, environmental social science, applied mathematics and agribusiness --- where training in ERE may be complementary to research interests or career development.
Graduates of the certificate program are able to identify and evaluate the economic assumptions embedded in policy analyses and recommendations, critically evaluate the validity of publications in environmental and resource economics, apply economic modeling approaches to real-world cases, and utilize econometric techniques to generate predictions and test hypotheses using applied economic models.
