课程名称：人人入门：环境经济学概念 课程概述：这是一门入门课程，任何对环境感兴趣的人都能够理解课程中涵盖的概念。本课程旨在向学生介绍环境经济学的核心概念，重点是实践。课程将通过案例研究来教授核心概念，学生将能够将这些概念应用于许多环境问题，如水污染、空气污染和气候变化。 环境经济学是什么？环境经济学研究环境政策的影响，并制定解决这些问题的方案。环境经济学可以是基于规范的，也可以是基于激励的。环境经济学的一个主要主题是外部性，即企业或其消费者未支付的额外经营成本。另一个主要主题是对公共财 goods（如清洁空气）进行定价，并计算失去这些财 goods 的成本。由于一些环境财 goods 并不限于一个国家，环境经济学常常需要跨国的视角。 环境经济学家做什么？广泛来说，环境经济学可能产生两种类型的政策：规范性规章和市场导向的规章。 在规范性方法中，政府规定具体措施以减少环境危害。例如，可能会禁止高度污染的行业，或要求某些减排技术。在市场导向的政策中，利用经济激励来鼓励所需行为。例如， cap-and-trade 规章并不禁止公司污染，但对污染行为施加经济负担。这些激励措施奖励降低排放的公司，而不规定它们使用何种方法来实现。
This is an introductory course.Anybody with interest in environment can understand the concepts covered in this courseIt is the course which exposes the student to core concepts of environmental economicsThe focus is practical The focus is on case studies and using the case studies to teach the core concepts The student would be able to apply the concepts to many environmental problems like water pollution, air pollution and climate change What is environmental economics ?Environmental economics studies the impact of environmental policies and devises solutions to problems resulting from them.Environmental economics can either be prescriptive-based or incentive-based.A major subject of environmental economics is externalities, the additional costs of doing business that are not paid by the business or its consumers.Another major subject of environmental economics is placing a value on public goods, such as clean air, and calculating the costs of losing those goods.Since some environmental goods are not limited to a single country, environmental economics often requires a transnational approach.What environmental economists do ?Broadly speaking, environmental economics may produce two types of policies:Prescriptive RegulationsIn a prescriptive approach, the government dictates specific measures to reduce environmental harm. For example, they may prohibit highly-polluting industries, or require certain emissions-controlling technologies.Market-based RegulationsMarket-based policies use economic incentives to encourage desired behaviors. For example, cap-and-trade regulations do not prohibit companies from pollution, but they place a financial burden on those who do. These incentives reward companies for reducing their emissions, without dictating the method they use to do so
