This unit develops knowledge and skills in natural resource economics built on previously gained economics training. The economics of dynamic natural systems is studied through application of advanced modelling approaches. Particular emphasis is given to the economic mechanisms for managing water and biological resources including property rights, water allocation, and water markets. Key policy instruments, taxes, quotas, standards are analysed; Institutional and policy aspects will also be considered via analysis of water policy reform in Australia and elsewhere.
