Learning unit contents
This course focuses on the economic and demographic growth of human societies and its environmental consequences. We will address the conditions of economic growth, its technological and environmental limits, the relationship between economic growth, CO2 emissions and biodiversity.
We will use econometric methods to study these issues, particularly econometric methods for panel data.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
This course aims to understand the technological and environmental limits of the development process initiated during the Industrial Revolution. Teamwork will allow students to reflect on solutions to enable the transition to sustainable development.
Each student will therefore need to acquire theoretical and econometric knowledge to address issues related to economic growth and the environment.
