Advanced Environmental Economics: Modelling and Empirical Approaches
M.Sc. course, University of Hamburg, Department of Economics, 2024
This course is a mixture of a lecture and a hands-on research seminar, which offered two different tracks: integrated climate-economic modelling and quasi-experimental empirical work.
