Economic processes underlie many of the environmental problems facing humanity, but can also play an important role in solving those challenges. This course introduces key theories from micro- and macroeconomics, and applies them to a variety of environmental problems. Topics covered include individual preferences, efficiency, valuation, market failures and policy analysis.

Prerequisites: Mathematics 34A or 3A or 2A.

Robert is a kind and passionate guy, and you can tell from the way he teaches. He's flexible and genuinely seems to care more that we learn the material than pass a test about it (I appreciated no midterms or final). He takes the lesson feedback and applies it to his next classes. Inspiring, thoughtful lectures! I can't say enough good things.

Course is really nice and not too intense if you're economic major. Way of teaching nice and you can learn in your own pace. Would recommend the course. It's interesting and makes student engaged. very good real life examples and references to real life.

Taught very well by using fun examples, and the math was basic. Class time is used to do activities and small experiments, and outside class you had to watch the lectures online. The textbook is optional since the lectures cover the main material, but it's good additional help. There were no midterm/ finals, only weekly assignments that were easy.

I loved this professor, and he made content I'm pretty neutral on much more interesting. However, if you take a shot every time he says "Does this broadly make sense?" you will be absolutely hammered by the end of the 1 hour 15 min lecture time.

Most engaging class I've taken, prof is friendly and understanding, lectures are clear and concise. Amount and difficulty of work is very doable and challenges students to think and apply course material to real world concepts without making it too stressful. 10/10 It changed my view on econ and I loved the class so much I was sad when it ended..
