ENVSCI 344 Island Economy: Environmental Dimensions of Local Production and Consumption

3 Credit(s)

Island economies often depend on energy and material goods imported from the mainland. This course examines island economic history and physical potential for self-sufficiency. The course includes examination of relevant economic theory, for example location theory, gains from trade, advantages of scale, and community economic development. History and theory will be combined with social considerations to make broad conclusions about the ecological economics of more self-sufficient island economies.
