Course content
|
The course focuses on quantitative tools such as Cost-Minimization Analysis (CMA), Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA), Cost-Utility Analysis (CUA), and Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA). Emphasis is placed on the practical application of these methods to assess public policies and interventions addressing current challenges, including climate change, adoption of new technologies (especially in the energy sector), environmental protection, and animal welfare. The course includes case studies, discussions on ethical and value-related dimensions of evaluation, and work with real-world data. Students will gain skills necessary for designing and interpreting evaluations that support evidence-based decision-making in the field of sustainable development.
