| Course Description | Exploration
of synthesis across the notion of "utility" as represented
in environmental/natural resource economics, as well as the notion
of "ecology" in ecological economics. Focus will be on the
influence the community and ecosystem have on one another, and the
potential for complimentarity between the two. The course approaches
economy and community by looking at the inherent interdependence,
jointness, and potential complimentarity as between the ecology and
economy (utility) of a place. |
