The module takes a pluralist approach, contrasting neoclassical, post-Keynesian and classical theory, but uses classical models for illustration. Topics include climate mitigation and adaptation, renewable resources, and energy return on energy invested. An explicit green macroeconomic model is developed over the course of the module to explore the consequences of shifting from a fossil-based economy to one based on renewables.<\/p>\n<p>This 69-page module is suitable for several weeks of class time.<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eci\/files\/2019\/06\/GreenMacoeconomics.pdf\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eci\/files\/2019\/06\/GreenMacoeconomics.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download Teaching Module<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eci\/files\/2019\/06\/GreenMacroeconomics_Figures.pptx\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download PowerPoint File with Figures and Tables<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Instructor notes and exercise answers are available for this module.<span>\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:eci@bu.edu\">Contact us<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>with proof of instructor status to receive access to these materials.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Eric Kemp-Benedict This upper-level module presents the study of \u201cgreen macroeconomics,\u201d viewing the economy as embedded in society, which is embedded in the environment.
