This course focuses on the development of the following programme learning outcomes, as stated in the degree profile: A1, B2, C2, C3
Omschrijving	Economic crisis hits the world about every 10 years. Increasing insecurity and complexity characterize the current economic system. In this class students will research and analyse some of current, forward-thinking economists. What are future-proof economic models? Is economic growth good or bad for the environment? Do we need to put a price on nature in order to save it? Is it possible to design a truly sustainable economy? What is the appropriate role for market signals in environmental policies? This course examines these questions, as well as the reasons why different economists typically provide conflicting answers to them. The aim of the course is not to provide a ‘right answer’ or train students in particular economic or mathematical ‘methods’. Instead it seeks to provide students with an understanding of the differing viewpoints and their associated methods, including their strengths, weaknesses and applicability in a policy context.
