For all those among undergraduates, graduates and employees in the private and the public sectors who wish to deepen environmental economics issues, the Fondazione Ambiente of Turin (North Italy) offers you the option of attending a summer school.
The Summer School in Applied Environmental and Regulatory Economics, at its sixteenth edition, is organised by the Fondazione per l’Ambiente “Teobaldo Fenoglio” in collaboration with the Faculty of Politics of the University of East Piedmont "Amedeo Avogadro" and lasts two weeks, since 5th to 16th September.
The course is articulated into three parts: a theoretical module, an industry analysis of the businesses dealing with environment with reference to issues such as waste, water, public transport, sports facilities, etc. and, finally, a discussion of case studies. Students will conclude their path with a final report, the purpose of which is precisely the analysis of a particular story case. Students will be engaged in collecting economic data and financial analysis of the main legal instruments governing the sector.
Also this year, after sixteen years, the Foundation has wanted to offer a chance to study and teaching during the summer to allow as many people as possible to interface with these issues.
In this context, the course is designed to provide the students with the basics of the theory of regulation that are applied to real case studies for a deeper understanding of regulatory issues and debates. Main topics are information asymmetries, industrial cost analysis and tariff setting, regulator’s capture, quality concerns, mechanism design and incentive contracts, the links and trade-offs between environmental and industrial policies within the national and European legislation framework.
Fondazione per l'Ambiente, founded in Torino by 24 public and private partners operating in Piedmont - among which all the four universities present on the regional territory - is a non profit body that promotes research, communication and experts' training in the sector of environmental and regulation policies at local level.
Environment is in fact a common good and everybody has to have the possibility to approach to a proper environmental information and knowledge, up-to-date with the current political and economical changes in order to be able to communicate them .
