The module will introduce students to foundations in labour, development and environmental economics to critically evaluate policy-relevant challenges regarding the impacts of environmental risk factors and climate change on health and labour market outcomes. Students will learn to apply econometric techniques (such as difference-in-differences, event studies, regression discontinuity, synthetic control) using micro-level data for causal inference. Applications will focus on developing contexts. Topics will include water pollution and deforestation in Indonesia, indoor air pollution in India, carbon emissions in Mexico, and the impact of climate change (extreme temperatures) on productivity in China and India.
