SUMMARY:*Applied Ecological Economics 2001
DESCRIPTION:Anyone who participated in AEE 1001 earlier this year and 
 is interested in deepening their understanding of ecological economics
 , is welcome to participate in AEE 2001.\nThis will be offered with sa
 me once-a-month class meeting format on the fourth Wednesday of the mo
 nth. We will not be rigid about requiring participation in AEE 1001 as
  a pre-requisite for participating in AEE 2001, but please note that w
 e will assume participants in AEE 2001 are familiar with the ideas in 
 Daly & Farley's Ecological Economics.\nA participant with a bit of spa
 re time on his or her hands, could conceivably undertake AEE 1001 and 
 AEE 2001 concurrently, but it would involve a lot of reading. A partic
 ipant who at some point did at least a year of post-secondary mathemat
 ics and at least two years of mainstream economics, and still remember
 s a bit of what they did in those courses, might be able to participat
 e effectively in AEE 2001 without first participating in AEE 1001. Any
 one who wants to jump straight in to AEE 2001 on the basis of having t
 he math and econ background, but who did not do any post-secondary stu
 dy in any one of physics, chemistry, biology or ecology, would be well
 -advised, though, to read Parts I and II of Daly & Farley (the first 7
  chapters in the first edition) by the time of the November class meet
 ing.\nTo the extent that we have a core text for AEE 2001, it is The E
 conomics of Natural Resource Use, by John Hartwick and Nancy Olewiler.
  This is a textbook written more in the idiom of (neo-classical) envir
 onmental economics than that of ecological economics. It makes greater
  use of mathematics than Daly & Farley, primarily in the interests of 
 precision and logical rigour, but it is not mathematically formidable 
 at all. It also has a faint EE sensibility.\nOur course objective will
  be to develop a commentary and critique of the book, addressing its s
 hortcomings from an EE perspective. Our work on this can then facilita
 te future more advanced courses in EE, since an obvious EE textbook wi
 th which to go on to the next level of depth after Daly & Farley, does
  not, to my knowledge, exist yet.\nThere will be a number of other ref
 erences provided, but one in particular, seems worth mentioning immedi
 ately. It is Supply Shock, by Brian Czech. Brian earned his Ph.D in Re
 newable Natural Resource Studies and has worked primarily in the area 
 Conservation Biology, but he demonstrates in Supply Shock a remarkable
  grasp of economics in general, and of the history of economic thought
  as it relates to the mysterious disappearance of concern for natural 
 capital in neo-classical microeconomics and mainstream macroeconomics,
  in particular. Brian is a keynote speaker, by the way at the CANSEE c
 onference in Toronto, in early November.\nWe are hoping to prepare a r
 esource kit of material for AEE 2001 so no one reluctant to buy the Ha
 rtwick & Olewiler text out of concern for costs, should feel at a disa
 dvantage. We are also planning to devote the first class to a review o
 f the math we will use (no proofs and no great emphasis on skill in so
 lving mathematically formulated problems - just an outline of the comm
 on symbols and constructs, their meaning, and their use in economics),
  and the second to reviewing conventional microeconomics, and the crit
 ique and extensions of it, central to the EE approach.\nPlease contact
  Michael Barkusky by email if you wish to take this class, and especia
 lly if you would like to attend a session without coming to the first 
 or any earlier meeting.\n\nFor more information visit http://villageva
