I currently teach a module on dynamic optimization in the course on Environmental economics and climate change since 2021. Below are the slides of 2023

• Optimal control

• Non-renewables

• Renewables

• Discounting

• Climate change and the social cost of carbon

Participants will, at the end of this 1.5 day course, be able to:

• assess the environmental effectiveness, static and dynamic cost-effectiveness, welfare impacts (efficiency), inequality and political feasibility of environmental and climate policies.

• understand the theoretical concepts behind the abovementioned criteria (Pigouvian tax, Coase theorem, pollution haven, Porter Hypothesis, Hotelling rule, etc.).

• understand the concept of integrated environmental assesmsnt models.

• understand the identification strategy behind diffence-in-difference and 2-way fixed effects panel regressions, used to empirically assess environmental policy impacts.

• assess concrete examples of policy.
