- The rules for successfully completing the coursework have been discussed with the learners, and they understand them.
- The learner knows and can relate the stages of the political cycle.
- The learner understands the need for fact-based problem assessment, knows how instincts distort the perception of the world, and can correct these distortions.
- The learner analyzes the desires of economic agents to use public goods and can explain the socially optimal level of production.
- The learner is familiar with the basic principles of economic analysis related to the allocation of public goods.
- The learner connects problems with the formation of political objectives designed to address them.
- The learner knows the "command-and-control" instruments used in the allocation of environmental resources.
- The learner knows the economic instruments used for the allocation of environmental resources.
- The learner can discuss the conditions under which public environmental goods are transformed into private goods.
- The learner finds materials to assess the efficiency of the political process and analyzes its efficiency.
- The learner can explain the principles of social cost-benefit analysis.
- The learner can recommend tools for organizing the use of environmental resources based on different criteria.
