講義概要

I intend to offer you the essence of cost benefit analysis and valuation methods for public policy and projects including revealed preference techniques for non-market goods, ordinal estimations for market goods and stated preference methods, such as contingent valuation, in environmental and ecological economics.

講義の目的

I intend to offer you the essence of cost benefit analysis and valuation methods for public policy and projects including revealed preference techniques e.g. hedonic approach for non-market goods, ordinal estimations for market goods and stated preference methods, such as contingent valuation, in environmental and ecological economics. The basic microeconomics knowledge is required such as utility functions, optimization with constraints, i.e. LaGrange multiplier.
But the students who really want to study the foundations of economics are welcome and can get the methods to analyze human and economic behaviors by the help of mathematical modeling. It should be noted that all students except students who are registered as part time
students, i.e. Shakaijin ,have to take normal class in English. Shakaijin students must
e-mail me by 14th of April 2014 in order to know the schedule of the class. Those who do
not attend the first class cannot get credit of this subject.
