    About

    Environmental and Resource Economics addresses many interesting and pressing questions which are waiting to be solved: How to use the limited amount of resources available in a sustainable and optimal way? How can we protect our environment without giving up the standard of living we have? What instruments are best suited to achieve, e.g., climate protection or a sustainable fish stock? What value do we assign to environmental goods and services? Analysing those problems and finding answers to those questions requires strong methodological knowledge, which you will learn and expand upon in this programme. Apart from improving competence in applying analytical methods in the core subjects of environmental and resource economics, microeconomics, economic dynamics as well as econometrics, the autonomous acquisition and adoption of important research methods during elective lectures and seminars in environmental and resource economics and other fields of economics is also a major focus of this programme. A wide range of specialised courses offered on a regular basis gives students insight into many areas of economic research arising through cooperation with the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. Supplementary subjects either in political science (only offered in the German language) or in ecology and geography amplify the scientific focus. Additionally, the supplementary subject, German as a foreign language, is designed especially for international students with no knowledge of the German language until up to knowledge of level C1.
