Anotace

This course explores the intersection of finance, economics, and climate change science to introduce students to the current thinking of financial economists on the most pressing climate change and sustainability issues. Theoretical concepts and empirical applications will present students with a broad perspective on the rich and rapidly evolving field of climate and sustainability finance. Many of the problems are open-ended, reflecting the complexity and deep uncertainty intrinsic to the real-world situations faced by today's decision-makers. The case studies, discussions, and real-world examples will provide additional insights into the implications of climate change for financial markets and the promising strategies for sustainable finance. Pre-requisites: Minimal - Introduction to Microeconomics, Introduction to Macroeconomics or Introduction to Statistics; Recommended - Introduction to Microeconomics, Introduction to Macroeconomics, Introduction to Statistics
