THE ECONOMIC TOOLS DEVELOPED ARE APPLIED TO RENEWABLE RESOURCES, EXHAUSTIBLE RESOURCES, WATER, CONSERVATION PLANNING, AND OTHER CONTEMPORARY PROBLEMS. THE FIRST PART OF THE COURSE IS DEVOTED TO LEARNING THE BASIC PRINCIPLES AND TOOLS REQUIRED TO ANALYZE NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS. THE SECOND PART CONSISTS OF SEVERAL CASE STUDIES OF CONTEMPORARY RENEWABLE AND NON-RENEWABLE NATURAL RESOURCE PROBLEMS.
