Master Year 2 in Prospective Modelling: Economy, Energy, Environment

This program is designed for students interested in modeling issues related to energy, climate, and natural resources, particularly from a forward-looking perspective on climate, energy, and the environment.

Objectives

The objective of the "Prospective Modelling: Economy, Environment, Energy" course is to offer, in addition to a core course in environmental economics, a training course dealing with the tools and methods of integrated modelling of energy, climate and natural resources issues, in particular from the perspective of foresight to meet the challenges of energy, climate and ecological transition.

The disciplinary fields taught include: 

• Economic theory and its applications to decision-making (cost-benefit analyses, decision-making in uncertainty, etc.);
• Integrated modelling tools, statistical and econometric methods and the necessary computer resources.

The skills that this course allows you to develop are: 

• Carry out prospective modelling and impact studies using integrated energy-environment-economy models.
• To assess prospective modelling work in the field of energy-environment-economy.
• Master the tools and methods necessary for research in environmental and energy economics in order to prepare a thesis.
• To contribute, through scientific and economic tools, to the resolution of environmental and sustainable development problems for a rational management of resources.
• To design tools for quantitative analyses of economic and environmental aspects and new economic models integrating social and environmental criteria in a company or administration.
• Participate in multidisciplinary work on the assessment of climate and energy transition scenarios.
