In this course, the concept of Nash equilibrium, along with its refinements, will be discussed to track down the different forms of interactive decision problem. Some game-theoretic tools such as backward induction and Bayesian rationality will be introduced to explain the intuition behind some real-life situations in the fields of social science.

This is the full Script for Environmental Economics for Environmental Sciences. It includes the lecture slides with important graphs, as well as my personal notes taken from the Lectures. It also includes a refresher on mathematic calculus on some problems often used in environmental economics.
