The concept of sustainability stands on 3 pillars: Ecology, Economy, & Equity. From the standpoint of the economy in general and social equity, there are specific economic tools that help project leaders and policy advocates perform sustainability evaluations. This course equips students with powerful economic tools they can use for such evaluations. These include Benefit-Cost Analysis, Life-Cycle Cost Analysis, and Regional Economic Impact Analysis. Students will use real data to perform evaluations.
