This subject uses insights from the fields of ecological economics and natural resource
economics to consider some of the problems associated with the management of a variety
of different natural resources. It discusses common economic theories and analytical
tools with a focus on understanding arising real world complications when attempting
to manage these resources in a complex socio-ecological system. The subject is a core
requirement for MBA and MPA courses.
Learning Outcomes
- critically evaluate the models and the likely effectiveness of different policy/management
interventions in a range of different socio- political contexts;
- apply a range of different models to evaluate the use of different types of natural
resources and how they help identify problems that are, or are not, likely to arise
in their management;
- synthesise the models to predict whether the use of different resources is likely
to be sustainable, and evaluate management/policy interventions that seek to ameliorate
any potential problems.
