the natural environment. These ecological and economic principles are also used to shed light on some
contemporary and controversial environmental policy issues. Right from the outset it should be understood
that this course is not aimed at a study of a specific environmental issue. Instead, the course intends to delve
into the theoretical underpinnings that are critical to a clear understanding of most contemporary
environmental and natural resource problems. Thus, the emphasis is on a systematic development of
theoretical principles and conceptual frameworks essential for a comprehensive analysis of environmental
and natural resource issues and the assessments of alternative environmental policy instruments, in general.

The main objective of the course is to introduce the students about the basic econometrics techniques and
to prepare them to do their own applied work. The course will focus on modern econometric techniques,
addressing both technical derivations and practical applications. Applications in the areas of
microeconomics, macroeconomics and International Economics will be considered. In this course, will cover
univariate and multivariate regression analyses and various estimation problems, qualitative analysis and
