ENVM 6800 - Water Resource Economics and Management

Economic concepts and tools relevant to water allocation and use; connections between hydrologic cycle, economic activity, and ecological health. Research project analyzes spatial and temporal dimensions of water use, economic growth, population growth, legal institutions. Models of water use and crop growth provide insight into economic decisions of agricultural producers. When this course is taught as a split level, additional requirements for graduate students: Graduate students do extended readings focusing on technical aspects of theoretical and empirical models. They also do a directed research project guided through individual meetings with the professor. Projects are designed to complete, within the course of the semester, original research on water resources that employs advanced analytical tools such as econometrics, non-market valuation, welfare analysis, and geographic information systems. The goal is for graduate students to submit their projects for presentation at professional conferences and/or for publication in peer- reviewed journals.
