2. Pre-Requisites
Basic skills in Macro and Microeconomics
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The subject is designed to provide the student with some methodological, instrumental and general-purpose concepts related to Ecological Economics. The first part will be devoted to the introduction of selected readings which, eventually, will enable the students to know the main problems and challenges of sustainable development. The second part is more practical, and focuses in the explanation of a specific model to compute anthropogenic footprints. Finally, the students will have to elaborate and present an analysis of a real footprint. This last part will be taught in the software lab, in a truly practical way.
