SANDEE is organizing a three-week training course in Environmental and
Natural Resource Economics for Economists from 2nd - 20th May, 2011. The
course is meant for practicing South Asian economists interested in
upgrading their research skills and learning related to environmental and
natural resource economics.
*Objectives*
The workshop seeks to provide economists with the basic skills necessary to
teach environmental and natural resource economics and to undertake research
in this area. The course will cover economic issues underlying sustainable
development, externalities and market failure, policy instruments,
non-market valuation, poverty-environment interactions, and natural resource
use and pollution management. Participants will be exposed to basic
theoretical issues, and economic tools and methodologies for analyzing
environmental problems in developing countries. The course does not seek to
be comprehensive but will provide a sound introduction to the literature.
*Who should attend the course?*
The ideal participant has a Masters or Ph.D. in economics and a good
understanding of microeconomics, calculus, and basic econometrics. Those who
have already had training in basic environmental economics through other
programs or universities are not eligible. Junior and mid-career faculty and
researchers, especially women are encouraged to apply. Priority will be
given to university teachers and researchers who have submitted a research
proposal to SANDEE.
*What can you expect to do during the course?*
As this is a residential course, participants will get enough time to
interact with prominent faculty and they will also learn from the
participants while working in group projects. Participants are expected to
read material prior to the course and participate in detailed assignments
and discussions during the course. Participants will also be expected to
present a research concept note at the end of the course. The course agenda
for last year is available at:
http://www.sandeeonline.org/uploads/documents/workshop/167_WRKDOC_EE_2010_Agenda_3.pdf
*Application process*
Interested applicants from South Asian countries should write to the SANDEE
secretariat with the following information (not exceeding 5 pages total):
? a cover letter (no more than one page) indicating how such a course will
be useful in teaching and research activities, the applicant's exposure to
basic mathematics (e.g., calculus, linear algebra) and computing skills
(e.g., spread sheet, statistical software), and the name of the person
nominating them (if any);
? a three page concept note for a research proposal in environmental
economics. The note should include: a discussion on the research problem and
its policy relevance, the research question(s) and objectives, a short
literature review that identifies key peer reviewed journal articles related
to the proposed research, an underlying analytical framework, empirical
methods (data requirement, collection and analysis) and expected outcomes;
? a brief CV (no more than one page) indicating professional
responsibilities/activities, (please include current job and institutional
details), educational qualifications, (highest degree/ institution), age and
two most important research publications, if any.
Please email your application to Anuradha Kafle at
[email protected] by 4th February 2011.
We request you to pass this information to interested colleagues. We are
also seeking nominations from colleagues who have been part of SANDEE
activities. The costs of the course will be borne by SANDEE. Approximately
25 participants will be invited.
With Best Regards,
SANDEE Secretariat
