Economics of Global Climate Change

In class I split you into 3 groups. This assignment requires you to work with your group to create a presentation and upload it to InYourClass.com. These readings are on InYourClass and Blackboard.

Every group should read the articles by Stern and by Nordhaus in Science.

• Group 2 should read and discuss Stern's Report Part I Chapter 2 and Part II Chapters 3 and 5, which outline the economic challenges. Group contact: dht105@hotmail.com
• Group 3 should read and discuss Stern's Report Part III Chapters 9, 10, and 13, which detail the costs and benefits. Group contact: blorac82@hotmail.com
• Group 1 should read and discuss Stern's Report Part IV Chapters 14 and 15, Part V Chapter 20, and Part VI Chapter 21. Group contact: nyitcatalano@yahoo.com

Work with your group to prepare a class presentation of approx 20-25 minutes to teach the rest of the students what you have learned. You can choose the best format (powerpoint, videos, revolving lectures, whatever) and how the team works together. You will all receive the same grade (an externality!).
