Environmental Economics
Research
Environmental problems are being caused by economic activities of human beings. Creating a sustainable global community in which there is harmony between economic activities and the environment is an issue that cannot be avoided. In order to realize this harmony, we need to employ a variety of economic approaches such as
- Change the framework of production and consumption.
- Promote the voluntary efforts of companies and consumers.
- Change the markets that are created by the frameworks of economics.
- Implement efficient environmental policies through things such as environmental taxation and emissions trading.
- Promote the correct use of renewable and non-renewable resources.
In my environmental economic teaching and research office, I employ a range of diverse methodologies to these kinds of issues, including theoretical approaches, statistical demonstrative approaches, approaches that use inter-industrial and general equilibrium models, as well as those that use environmental economic evaluation methods.
