This course deals with the application of economic analysis models for decisions between alternatives. In particular, students will be exposed to the concepts of the time value of money and equivalence; basic economy study methods; decisions under certainty; decisions recognizing risk; and decisions admitting uncertainty. By teaching students how to compare alternatives based on cost, benefit, and sustainability (especially under uncertainty and risk), the course promotes resource efficiency and long-term economic sustainability, both key to responsible production and consumption. (SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production)
