PhD course: Ecological-Economic modeling – an introduction (Lund University)
29.04.2011

Course description
Both ecologists and economists use models to develop strategies for biodiversity management. However, the practical use of single discipline models can be limited because ecological models tend to ignore the socioeconomic dimension of biodiversity management, and economic models the ecological dimension. Given these shortcomings, there is a necessity to integrate ecological and economic knowledge in ecological-economic models. The overriding aim of this course is to increase the student’s capacity to participate in interdisciplinary research that is relevant to solving conservation problems. In this respect ecological-economic modeling will be introduced as a tool for facilitating interdisciplinary research. At the end of the course the student will understand the objectives and limitations of the approach, the basic ingredients of an ecological-economic model needed for conservation policy evaluation and obtain insights into how the approach can be related to the students own research.
