The aim of this lecture is to provide basic knowledge and key tools for analyzing climate policy. The lecture will first give an overview on climate change, impacts and mitigation options as well as key environmental economic concepts. As climate change is an intertemporal (dynamic) problem, tools for solving intertemporal optimization problems will be presented and applied. Students apply these concepts in assignments individually and in small groups. In particular, students will develop their own numerical climate-economy model to study optimal mitigation paths, carbon prices and growth effects.
