We start 10:00 SHARP on 26/4, instead of 10:15 as normal, and instead of 9:15 as announced last week. Starting at 10:00 is sufficient and necessary to catch up given that I lost (only) 15 minutes last week. Same room!
The lecture plan lists a lot of readings for 26/4. You can skip Barrett (2005) unless you are particularly interested in the topic. I will mainly focus on my two lecture notes, particularly the first one on self-enforcing agreements/compliance:

Dear students,
Here is the mid-term course evaluation of ECON4910, please answer the form such that we can improve the course and our teaching!
Notice the updated lecture plan, and the posted lecture notes and slides for the topic: deforestation
There have been some rearrangements in the course's schedule.
Note that there is NO lecture March 15th; instead, there is a lecture March 29th with same time and place (Aud 5 at 10:15-12:00).
The lecture plan has been updated.
Note that there are NO seminars in week 13 (27. March and 28. March); instead, there are seminars in week 19 (8. May and 9. May, notice the room location). I think you all prefer seminars closer to the exam such that we can summarize the total course and prepare for the exam the week after (15. May)
Please let me know if these rearrangements collide with your course schedule. - Ingrid
Hi,
Parts of Seminar 3 is empirical, I have posted the data set both as an excel file and a dta stata file (It is better to open the data file with google chrome or firefox, and NOT internet explorer, for one mysterious reason).
I also posted my example do-file if you want some inspiration when doing the regressions on your own.

In the annual speech from the governor of the Norwegian central bank, Øystein Olsen, one of the main sections was devoted to climate change and cost effective climate policies. This is must-read for all Norwegian students, (I'm sorry they don't post the translated version of the speech).

Lecture 4 will be held by Prof Jon Strand, he has been working in the IMF, the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, and he will share his interesting experiences with environmental valuation methods, among them a method to protect the Amazon rainforest.
Here are two web references that he will be discussing in class:
Hey everyone,
I posted a more detailed solution to exercise 2, in seminar 1, with everything that I did not have the time to explain in detail. I hope this makes the exercise more clear.

Interesting times to study environmental economics!
The year 2016 has been declared the warmest year ever, read about the climate data on NASA Climate Change homepage and NOAA, and the weather phenomena El Niño and La Niña
