We encounter advertising in almost every aspect of our lives, and it forms a large part of our day-to-day experience. The advertising and branding industries also play an increasingly important role in the global economy, and qualifications in this area offer opportunities to become part of this exciting and growing industry. Careers in advertising offer a fascinating combination of creativity and business strategy, combining research, planning and management skills with imagination and innovation.
Our advertising course is designed to equip you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to work effectively in the sectors of advertising and brand management. You will be able to study advertising as a single honours degree, or in combination with a subject of that complements your studies. Advertising is available in combination with Marketing; Media and Communications; Digital Media; Business Studies; Entrepreneurship; Sociology; Events Planning; and Psychology.
The programme is aimed at developing advertising and brand managers who have a good understanding of planning and management processes, as well as an awareness of the creative aspects of the profession. You will learn how advertising works, understanding how advertising messages communicate and persuade, both online and through the use of traditional media. You will learn how to develop ideas and campaigns that meet the needs of clients and consumers, and how to produce convincing professional presentations and pitches. There is a strong emphasis on preparation for employment, and the course is designed in conjunction with a panel of industry advisors. Coursework is frequently set in conjunction with outside advertising agencies and marketing professionals, and can result in placement opportunities.
The first year of the degree shares common elements with other students on our Business School suite of courses, and provides grounding in the principles of business, marketing, financial accounting, management, and information technology. It provides an essential foundation to your course, while allowing flexibility to choose a variety of pathways in the second and third years of study.
Students in Years 2 and 3 who take Advertising as a single honours course, or in combination with Marketing, Business Studies or Entrepreneurship, study modules that can include advertising strategy, media planning, copywriting, brand communication, consumer behaviour and PR. They complement these subjects with other options from within the Business School. Students studying Advertising as a combined award with courses outside the Business School take additional modules from the media department, or from the areas of sociology, event planning or psychology, depending on their chosen combination.
The advertising, branding and marketing industries offer interesting and rewarding career opportunities for graduates. These include working for agencies and consultancies, or working as part of the marketing departments of organisations who commission and buy advertising services. Depending on the choice of course combination, there are also opportunities for graduates to go into the media production side of the industry. Further professional qualifications can be taken with the Chartered Institute of Marketing and with the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising, or you may choose to continue your studies on one of the growing number of postgraduate courses in advertising and brand management.
Students may have the option to compete for work-placement opportunities at the end of Year 2. If you are studying on a programme within the Business School, you have the opportunity to undertake a year in industry as an optional part of your degree. You spend the third year of a four year degree in a full-time, paid work placement with an employer. The University's Career Development service will support you in finding suitable work placements and you will also receive tutorial support from an academic member of staff throughout the year. This is a very valuable opportunity. It contributes to your professional development by giving you experience of handling business and management issues in a real environment and adds to your employability prospects on graduation. You can register on the programme at the end of your first year.

Vanguard MT-110 Tripod
(Repost from old server. Originally by JanoBA)
Hi friends,
I've to replace my broken Vanguard tripod. It's an old model VGT-27227, that I haven't used too much and whose leg locks (traditional lever format, made of plastic) broke one after another (all of them).
Today I've seen the new Vanguard MT-110 L model at a photo shop (you can see it here: http://www.dotlinecorp.com/dl_cat_D/tripods_art/MTSeries/008_MTSeries.html). This new model has a twist leg lock adjustment mechanism.
In appearance, it's similar to the Manfrotto 390/Bogen 3405 (same tubular twist leg locks, a 3-way pan & tilt head and a short center column), but bigger.
At the same shop, they have also the Manfrotto 190 Mini/Bogen 3001 (I don't know if it was the PRO or the CL version).
At the shop, I compared both the Vanguard MT-110 (US$ 85) and the M. 190/B. 3001 (US$ 155) + M. 141RC/B. 3030 3-way head (US$ 75) (total price: US$ 230) (remember: I live in Buenos Aires
Vanguard's pros:
- lower price
- it's taller: fully extended 178.4 cm (62.6"), but as it has a short center column, it's height without the center column extended is greater than Bogen's (I think it's 145/150 cm)
- 3-section legs Ø 28mm, spread independently (3 positions)
- can invert the center column for ground level shots
- 3 different heads to choose from:
a 3-way fluid pan & tilt head (model MT-100 H)
a 3-way fluid pan & tilt head (model MT-110 H), with a QR plate (model QS-36)
a ball head (model MT-200 BH)
Vanguard's cons:
- bad experience with my old model (broken leg locks: now is 50 cm tall!)
Vanguard's ???:
- the geared center column
Manfrotto/Bogen pros:
- can change its head from pan & tilt to ball head (Markins!)
- can invert the center column for ground level shots
- center column can be used for vertical and horizontal shots
Manfrotto/Bogen cons:
- max. height: 119 cm (center column down) / 145 cm (center column up)
- very expensive (here in BA)
I tested both (without camera) tapping at its legs, and the Manfrotto/Bogen bent a little more than the Vanguard. Because Vanguard is taller (longer legs), perhaps there is more "shaking" at its top, with my F80 + a long lens attached.
The selection of heads are:
- Vanguard 3-way fluid head (pan & tilt) MT-110 H, with QR shoe QS-36:
- Vanguard Ball head MT-200 BH:
Anyone has tried this Vanguard tripod?
What do you think? I've heard a lot of very good comments about the Manfrotto/Bogen tripods, but I'm tall (1.85 m/6'1") and I need a tall, firm and cheap tripod. This one looks sturdy. I didn't compared it to a Manfrotto 055/Bogen 3021 (they only have the M. 190/B. 3001).
I have no information about weight and load capacity for the MT-110, but with both tripods in my hands (MT-110 in my left and M. 190/B. 3001 in my right), Vanguard's is lighter (the B. 3030 head only, weights 1 kilo!).
According to my research into the Nikonians threads, B.3021 is a heavy one (heavier than the B. 3001). JRP said that it weights 6 lbs for a load capacity of 13 lbs, so it is kept for very short distances walks (like less than 20 feet) https://www.nikonians.org/dcforum/Images/sad.gif. He's my Guru, so I trust blindly in his words https://www.nikonians.org/dcforum/Images/happy.gif.
The bad experience with that old fashioned leg locks has shocked me: "el que se quema con leche, ve una vaca y llora".

Please don't say I am your guru. I'm just a guy with some mileage.
The PRO versions are those that allow you to set the center column horizontally. I have never used that feature, but then of course I don't do many macro shots or from cliffs.
The 3021PRO is heavy for me (I have a cracked pair of vertebrae with a busted disk in between from a nasty fall some time back).
Since you are younger and taller, it could work for you, however, as you said, I am very happier with the 190D (non-PRO)
BTW, I seldom use the center column on any tripod so as not to introduce instability into the equation.
I could of course carry a tripod "apron" and load it with a rock when needed or use the Kinesis Safari sack or something along those lines to make any tripod even more steady under the wind. (Or get it made or buy any cheap bag at the market for the purpose). That way you add sturdiness without having to carry a heavy load on your back.
Have a great time

Sorry to know about your column problem: I've also problems in my back (nothing serious, but I cannot be standing up for more than 15 minutes, nor carrying a big load). That's why I'm looking for a light tripod, but a sturdy one. The solution provided by the sand/rock apron is a good one (if there is sand or rocks in the vicinity: remember, I'm the Pampas' guy...).
I think the model wasn't the PRO, because the base (where the center column attaches) was diferent to that shown at Manfrottos' web site.
I've compared both tripods (MT-110 and M.190/B.3001) with the center column fully retracted (not extended), and in the MT-110 case, the camera will be at my eyes' level (aprox.). In this scenario I've tested their sturdiness, and found that MT-110 is a bit better than the 190/3001. But a real field test would show the winner.
In an affectionately way, I call Guru to the person with sufficient expertise and knowledge from whom I learn a lot and, in my personal and humble opinion, you are one of them. Since my arrival to Nikonians last November, I've followed every new thread, digged in the old ones and learnt a lot about photography matters (and personal/interpersonal ones). I've learned from BJ, JM, the late Merlin and a lot more; please don´t anger with me for not naming all of you here. With each comment made in each thread, I've added a little grain of sand to my backpack of knowledge, and I hope this will continue that way.
Appart from that, the personal stories and the style of writing of some of you keep me glued to the monitor for hours, to the point that my wife now thinks that I have an office' affair...
For these reasons (and a thousand more), I'm very, very happy to have followed that link at Neal Vaughan's site, that took me to Nikonians.
One more time (I'll never be tired repeating it), I want to THANK YOU! all of you for your great effort and your friendly support.

Today I've measured both:
Vanguard MT-100 L + MT-110 H 3-way head:
- max. height (center column up): 160 cm
- max. height (center column down): 150 cm
- min. height: 42 cm
- closed length: 73 cm
- max. load: I was said that it's 4.5 kg
Manfrotto 190D/Bogen 3001N + M.141RC/B.3030QR 3-way head:
- max. height (center column up): 152 cm
- max. height (center column down): 132 cm
- min. height: 47 cm
- closed length: 66 cm
- max. load: 5.0 kg
The main difference is in the weight:
Vanguard (with MT-110 H 3-way head) = Manfrotto 190/Bogen 3001 (without head)
In this configuration, they almost weight the same: 1.74 kg (M.141RC/B.3030QR head weights 1.0 kg alone)
the salesman was wrong. They cost:
- Vanguard MT-100 L tripod + MT-110 H 3-way head w/QR: US$ 184.28
- Manfrotto 190/Bogen 3001 tripod + M.141RC/B.3030QR 3-way head: US$ 185.72

With so much going on in this space you could be forgiven for thinking you were always working with yesterday's technologies. So much change, so quickly. What do you do if you have to build a solution from the ground up that is expected to live in the field for at least 5-10 years?

The Power of Windows Phone 7.5
The Windows Phone 7.5 operating system has been designed to help you do more in fewer steps, and keep you updated on the things that are most important to you.
You can customize the Live Tiles on your Start Screen with what you care about--from people to web sites--and they'll continuously scan the web to keep you updated about your world at a glance.
Improved Live Tiles.
History view.
Windows Phone 7.5 also brings together the things you use most on your phone in six Hubs: People, Pictures, Office, Games, Music + Video, and Marketplace. Grouping them in Hubs like this lets you get to what you need, quicker, because you don't have to jump from apps to the web to contact lists.
The latest release of Windows Phone--version 7.5, codenamed "Mango"--has hundreds of improvements and new features. Here's just a sample:
Multitasking. Now you can keep your place in a game while reading e-mail or listen to music apps while texting. Many apps can run in the background, so you don't need to shut one down to use another--plus you can switch between open apps in a flash.
Find nearby restaurants, shops, and things to do with Local Scout.
Local Scout. Powered by Bing, Local Scout teams up search and mapping to show you nearby restaurants, shopping, and activities in a single tap.
Sync with SkyDrive. You can sync your Office docs between SkyDrive and your phone, so you can edit them on your phone now, then edit some more on your computer later.
AT&T 4G Network
This phone runs on AT&T's dual-band 850/1900 MHz 4G network (UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA+), and with HSPA+ you'll experience mobile data speeds up to 4x faster than ordinary mobile broadband--up to approximately 6 Mbps (download). AT&T has deployed HSPA+ to virtually 100 percent of its mobile broadband network, which enables 4G speeds when combined with enhanced backhaul (via Ethernet or fiber).
Backhaul is one of the major pieces of a telecommunications network. Think of it as the limbs connecting AT&T's cell towers with AT&T's backbone network that provides access to the Internet.
Coming later in 2011, AT&T will deliver a second layer of 4G network called LTE (Long Term Evolution) that is even faster than HSPA+ speeds.
In areas where either AT&T's 3G or 4G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways.
Note: AT&T's 4G mobile broadband coverage is not available in all areas. 4G speeds delivered by HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul; availability increasing with ongoing backhaul deployment.
Optional AT&T Services
AT&T Navigator: This premium GPS navigation application includes audible turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic updates and re-routing options, and 3D moving maps (additional charges applicable).

So if you are looking for your first smartphone, look no further. Windows Mango is very good and the operation of this phone is easy, once you get over the shock of such an upgrade. We did however have to go online to ATT to get some help via their tutorials but the learning curve was not too bad.
We heartily recommend this phone.
- Windows OS (cannot be under-estimated...I will only buy Windows phones now. Live tiles are a game-changer.)
- Hardware Windows button
- Front and rear facing cameras, with good picture quality
- Very nice looking, black metal phone when not in a case
- Slim, when not in a case
- Excellent sound quality, garners many compliments even when using bluetooth via Sync in my car
- Good music quality / speakerphone
- Fast fast fast! Very responsive.
- Beautiful video quality.
- Zune is an awesome media interface, makes itunes look like software from the 1990's.
- Quad band, including 4G
- Voice commands and voice recognition are incredibly impressive.
- AT&T commercials don't do it justice: I use data while I chat all the time, for work and personal reasons.
- Skype was bought by Microsoft, so integration should be great in the near future
- Unless you get lucky, your hardware will crash CONSTANTLY
- Most of the pros are due to the Windows OS, not the phone
- 8GB Storage, NON-expandable. Budget phone, budget option. Disappointing, but you get what you pay for. 8gb means you have to manually filter thousands of songs and pictures.
- Back cover snaps on, rather than a push-button release. Given that this has quad band technology, repeated SIM access may break the cover.Read more ›
I have 3 iPhones in the family, 1 is my work phone. I can honestly say that I enjoy the Windows software and find it different, but every bit as good as the iOS devices.
Just got this phone for my wife a week ago. I wanted to get her the Focus S or Titan, but she is new to smart phones and thought those phones were too humongous. So I got her the Focus Flash and she loves it. It is small enough for her, yet the screen is still plenty big enough to type on and get a great Windows Phone experience. The phone is extremely light in the hand. Camera works very well. One particular thing I noticed was that the battery life is great, which is important for my wife as she rarely remembers to charge the phone. The AT&T guy only charged the phone up to 25% in the store yet it still lasted without recharge for almost two days afterwards until I finally forced my wife to recharge. This was while she was syncing her Live and Facebook accounts and exploring the phone for the first time, so it was plenty busy. Overall we have not found a fault with it yet.

Impact of roof integrated PV orientation on the residential electricity peak demand
Peak electricity demand has been an issue in the Desert Southwest region of the US, due to extreme summer temperatures. To address this issue, a consortium was formed between the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Pulte Homes, and NV Energy. An energy efficient residential community was developed by the team in Las Vegas with approximately 200 homes to study substation-level peak reduction strategies. A summer peak reduction of more than 65%, between 1:00PM and 7:00PM, compared to code standard housing developments is the targeted goal of the project. Approximately 50 homes are already built and some are occupied. The energy performances of the homes have been monitored and are presented in this paper. Several peak electric load reduction strategies such as energy efficiency in buildings, roof integrated photovoltaics (PV) and direct load control have been applied. Though all the homes in the developed community are installed with 1.8kWp PV systems, the orientation of the PV system depends on the building orientation. Focus of this paper is to find the impact of PV orientation on the peak load from a building. In addition, different time-of-use (TOU) energy pricing options are offered by the local electrical utility company. Hence it is important to find an optimal pricing option for each building. A computer model has been developed for one of the homes in the new development using building energy simulation code, ENERGY-10. Calculations on the PV orientations have shown that a south and 220° (i.e. 40° west of due south) orientations are economically optimal for homes enrolled to flat electricity pricing schedule and time of use pricing respectively. As predicted by the simulations, the energy efficiency methods in the home have decreased the total annual energy by 38% compared to a code standard home of the same size. Further, the energy efficiency methods in the building coupled with a 220° oriented PV and 1.1°C increase in thermostat temperature for three hours (from 3:00 to 6:00PM) reduced the peak energy demand by 62% compared to a code standard building of the same size. Battery storage is the other option that will be considered in the project at a later time which is expected to carry the project well beyond its peak reduction goals.

Schism in the Church is a most serious matter. It ruptures the Body of Christ and defies Christ's stated desire that all be one in him.
Read the rest of entry »
We are surrounded by many voices. There's rarely a moment within our waking lives that someone or something isn't calling out to us and, even in our sleep, dreams and nightmares ask for our attention.
These are not ordinary times. Recently, I read some challenging words from Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the head of the U.S Catholic Conference of Bishops. He was speaking about the bill being debated in the U.S. which could force Church institutions to pay for birth control for their employees.
Artistic representations of the Ten Commandments often depict two stone tablets on which there are two tables of inscriptions. This portrayal follows from a classical division of the commandments in which there are two specific categories – those that order humanity's relationship with God and those that order human relationships with one another.
Constantly I am reminded of the ordinariness of ethics. Some might think the largest Catholic health care organization in Canada would be confronted everyday by sensational ethical dilemmas.
There is a short passage about Jesus in the Book of Hebrews that I love: "In the days when he was in the flesh, he offered prayers and supplications with loud cries and tears to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered; and when he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him" (Hebrews 5.7-9).
I attended an excellent Catholic boys' school during the late 1960s and early 1970s, College St. Jean in Edmonton. My favourite instructor was both my hockey coach and my biology teacher. He was a man of deep faith and I can remember him telling me directly that evolution did not have to undermine my belief in God.

Kudos to Living Water College for their offering of a summer program in sacred polyphony (WCR, March 19).

A couple of days went by and after frequently emailing him for the correct shipping details, then came the icing on the cake. He claimed that he had sent me 3 cameras by mistake and because I had only paid him for one camera he wanted me to pay him another $800 before he would give me the tracking number, he even said he would email a copy of the FedEx document but would hide the tracking number until he received the $800. I refused and told him I wanted my money back but he said, if I did not send him $800 he would have my package returned from FedEx and he would keep my $540 to pay for the shipping costs. After arguing with him for some time I agreed, and asked him to email me the shipping document (I was never going to send him more money I just wanted the FedEx paperwork)
An hour later the document arrived, my first impression was the document was a homemade fake. I then forwarded the document to Fedex UK and asked if they could examine the document and also check their sytem to see if Adriano Tore was infact a customer of theirs. A couple of days went by and Adriano continually asked when I was sending him the money. But then I received a reply from Fedex, they confirmed that the document was indeed a FAKE, Adriano Tore was NOT a customer and theirs and there were NO packages pending delivery to myself.
I emailed all this evidence to Adriano and asked for his comments, so far I have not received his reply. DO NOT deal with this guy he is a Fraud. In fact, be very suspicious of anyone that wants payment via Western Union. DON'T DO IT - IT'S A SCAM!

Ramirez is a douchebag
Lawrie hasn't been caught cheating
Lawire hasn't been caught slapping his wife around

I would like a little more substance with his style!
BC is pretty suave but he's had lots of time to get this thing turned around. No doubt this will be his last chance to build a winner.

i actually purchased this bedskirt in Full size for my Queen size - low profile box spring. And, IT WORKED!!The fabric is lightweight enough that it still drapes well. I am elated. Low-profile bedskirts are just not available and I am so glad I thought of this great idea.
I love the fabric, the quality. The appearance I would have given a 5 except that it does not fit my king bed even though I ordered it in King. It comes down about 1/3 of the way on one side! Thankfully that side is facing a wall and no one really can see it except for me when I get into bed. I kept it though as it looks good on the front and other side and too much work to get it back off, ha. I still recommend it as long as it fits right or you do not mind if it doesn't.
We've been using a bedskirt that was too long. This one is a perfect fit, and the fabric is very nice. The bedskirt was also nicely packaged, so that there were far fewer wrinkles than I expected.
Would have given it 4 stars except I had really wanted one that had end at foot of bed divided to allow for a bed with a foot board. I will have to make slits and hem the edges. I realized this when I ordered it was probably going to realize this was probably be the case when I ordered it but wanted it anyway. I will probably order another one for my guest room. That bed doesn't have a foot board
I accidently bought the ivory, when i meant to buy the white, however, I am surprised how well this color goes with everything. It is a nice touch with just about any comforter. My opinion of course.
Something as simple as a new bedskirt made such a nice compliment to the bedroom (and it was super easy transaction with fast shipping A+).
This is an Excellent product just as described!! The color is a nice off white to go with most colors.
This is a little difficult to review because really, it's a bed skirt. It survived the wash with flying colours, as one would expect, and it fits our boxspring, exactly as I'd expect it to. Since then it's sort of just sat there, being a bed skirt. As I expect it to. What I can say about it is that it is a simple, lovely accent piece and its presence lends a nice touch to the entire bed ensemble I've chosen. And on the whole, I love it.
This bed skirt is beautiful. The fabric to which the skirt is attached is sturdy enough that sliding a mattress across it and doing all the requisite tugging to get it adjusted resulted in no tears.
Fits perfect. Washes and dries good. Quality great. Would buy again.
I needed a14-inch bedskirt for an antique brass bed. I was discouraged by the limited selection until I found this one. My one slight complaint is that it is not cut to fit a bed with a footboard. I had to alter it to go over the side rails on my bed.
I was so surprised to get such a dainty bedskirt for the low price! I checked out other stores and this price and value could not be beat!
Blends beautifully with my guest room comforter which has light tones of yellow, sage green and rose. I bought the off white or beige bedskirt. Gives off a very feminine feel, with the pillow shams and all. I am very satisfied.
This item was exactly as I expected it to be. Bright white, all cotton, perfect fit, and feminine look. Fair price, too. Will probably get the matching pillows now.
was received as described in site. Wonderful item for the value
it looks lovely, and it is pretty full. I am completely happy with it and highly recommend this.
Fit bed perfectly and the soft lace looks perfect in this girl room with quilts and pretty colors.
Nice full skirt. Fits my king size guest bed perfectly. Looks as pictured.
Fit and work perfectly in the guest bed room
Beautiful,detailed well crafted bedskirt . Adds a finished touch to the jouy tolle bedspread ensemble. Definitely French country look that I was trying to achieve. Would highly recommend.

Boyd took a fine diagonal pass from strike partner Jay Simpson in his stride within a minute of the second half and although under pressure from Huddersfield defender Peter Clarke, unleashed a drive into the top corner from the edge of the penalty area.
It was Boyd's fourth goal in six games for Hull since he arrived on loan from Peterborough last month and capped a memorable seven days for the 27-year-old, who made his Scotland debut against Serbia earlier in the week.
"That was the one bit of quality," Bruce said. "It was a great pass from Jay and it was a great finish from Boydy. He's had a wonderful start."
Bruce turned his attention to Tuesday night's clash with automatic promotion rivals Watford, who are now four points behind the Tigers.
Hull bounced back from their home defeat to Nottingham Forest last time out to secure back-to-back away wins and head into that crunch clash with their tails up.
Bruce, chasing a third promotion to the Barclays Premier League after successes with former club Birmingham in 2002 and 2007, added: "We've a huge game against Watford now on Tuesday.
"If we can go and get a result there, it's another game gone and you just want to protect that lead, that's the aim - can we protect it with seven games to go?
"It's a good position to be in, but there's still seven games to go and we know how quickly it can change.
"Who would have thought Leicester for example, would have won one of their last 10 and Palace I don't think have won in four or five, the way the Championship is, nothing surprises me. But if we can win (on Tuesday), it will be a huge result for us."

Thesis Topics Environmental Economics and Natural Resources
In general, students are expected to choose their own thesis topic, but we can assist you in defining it more specifically. On this page you can find a number of environmental economic issues, and the staff members involved in these topics. This list is not exhaustive, so if you have a thesis idea that is not included, don't hesitate to propose it! For more information on writing a thesis at the Environmental Economics and Natural Resources Group you can contact Silke Gabbert.
Tragedy of the commons vs. Tragedy of the commune (supervised by Andries Richter)
Environmental problems can be solved in many ways. Typically, the government or some other form of authority sets rules with corresponding fines that need to be obeyed. While such solution may be effective in addressing polluting industries, it is often not feasible (or desirable) to have regulation targeted at private individuals for minor offences such as throwing empty plastic bags or soft drink cans on the street. Nonetheless, very few individuals would throw garbage on the street or tolerate such behavior, as there are very strong social norms not to do so – at least in some parts of society. Obviously, there are cases when such norms break down or actions and social norms are in disarray. The aim of this project is to analyze whether social norms can mitigate environmental problems in daily life and how informal arrangements, such as social disapproval among peers play a role in this. The main idea is to apply Ostrom's framework that has been developed for resource systems (Ostrom, 2007, 2009) in a different context. The study case will be student houses that tend to be – very much like in resource systems – microcosm consisting of individuals who free ride on efforts of other (such as cleaning or shopping duties). The main goal is therefore to analyze whether the Tragedy of the Commons is also a Tragedy of the Commune (Mause, 2008).
This project requires the student to visit student houses in order to collect data and perform statistical analyses. Knowledge in statistical software (e.g. Stata, Eviews, or R) would be good.

Globalization, Roving bandits, and marine resources (supervised by Andries Richter)
This project requires the student to dig into the databases of FAO, OECD and perform large scale statistical analyses. Sound knowledge of statistics (using software like STATA, R, or Eviews) is essential.
Berkes, F., Hughes, T.P., Steneck, R.S., Wilson, J.A., Bellwood, D.R., Crona, B., Folke, C., Gunderson, L.H., Leslie, H.M., Norberg, J., Nystrom, M., Olsson, P., Osterblom, H., Scheffer, M., Worm, B. (2006) Globalization, Roving Bandits, and Marine Resources. Science 311, 1557-1558.
For more information, please contact Dr. Andries Richter.
The economics of overfishing and poverty traps (jointly supervised by Andries Richter (ENR) and Janneke Pieters (DEC))
Whether such poverty trap persists depends on several factors. First, the general equilibrium effects of overfishing need to be considered. In particular, it is unclear how sales prices and wages obtained outside the fishery respond to individuals entering (or leaving) a fishery. Second, overfishing may lead to reallocation of labor at the household level. To compensate for low income from the fishery, other household members (women or children) may enter the labor market, which may aggravate or alleviate poverty.
Another concern is price volatility in the fish market. If there is limited communication infrastructure, fishermen are unable to observe prices across geographically distinct markets. With high transportation costs, they can visit only one market per day, while storage may not be possible at all. As a result, the quantity supplied to a specific market is determined almost entirely by the amount of fish caught near that market. Prices are therefore highly volatile, which translates into highly uncertain incomes for fishermen. This uncertainty can affect the labor supplied by different household member in different activities, for example when female labor supply is used as an insurance mechanism.
The questions raised above could be analyzed empirically, but also in a theoretical model. Potential applications could be India or West Africa.

Anticipating collapses in social-ecological systems (supervised by Andries Richter)
This project requires the student to dig into various databases and perform large scale statistical analyses. Sound knowledge of Matlab or R is essential.
For more information, please contact Dr. Andries Richter.
The evolution of social norms for cooperative resource harvesting (supervised by Andries Richter)
This project requires theoretical modeling. A good understanding of mathematical modeling is a must and prior knowledge of Matlab would definitely help.

Cod crash investigation – The collapse of the newfoundland cod fishery (supervised by Andries Richter)
This project requires digging into published and unpublished reports to understand better the economic context of the cod crash. Ideally, economic and biological data will be analyzed jointly, in order to understand how biological and economic forces have contributed to the unfortunate fate of Newfoundland cod.
For more information, please contact Dr. Andries Richter.
Does the environment shape behavior? (supervised by Andries Richter
This project will have to be carried out in a field setting, ideally in an environment where the candidate has been or worked before. The project required data collection in the field and statistical analysis using relevant software (e.g. Stata, R, Eviews).

Economic (e)valuation of laboratory animal welfare
The new European chemicals legislation REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals explicitly supports the reduction and replacement of animal testing. Current testing schemes, however, are still largely based on laboratory experiments where large numbers of laboratory animals are used (in vivo tests). Addressing the problem how animal welfare concerns can be operationalized for developing new, more efficient testing strategies requires to develop approaches (tools) for evaluating the welfare loss caused to laboratory animals. The MSc project will explore economic approaches for the valuation of laboratory animal welfare. The approaches can then be applied in a case study in order to analyse the impact of including animal welfare loss in decision-support tools such as, for example, a cost-effectiveness analysis.
For more information on the economic valuation of laboratory animal welfare please contact dr. Silke Gabbert.
Approaches for transforming environmental impacts of chemicals into values for decision-making
For more information on approaches for transforming environmental impacts of chemicals into values for decision-making please contact dr. Silke Gabbert.
Climate Change
- How are the costs and benefits of climate policy distributed?
- How can we develop cost-effective climate policy?
- How can we balance concerns of cost-effectiveness or efficiency with concerns of equity and fairness?
- How can we take into consideration the various uncertainties and irreversibilities in climate policy?
- How can we make the emissions trading system work efficiently?
- Would a carbon tax be better than a cap-and-trade system?
Techniques often used in such analyses include game theory to analyze strategic behaviour of countries in international negotiations, or general equilibrium modelling to analyze the effect of different policy scenarios on the economy.
For more information on the economics of climate change you can contact prof. Ekko van Ierland.
Student wanted: Discounting climate change
Biodiversity and nature conservation
Biodiversity is a broad concept. It refers to the diversity of genes, species, and ecosystems on the planet. The range of topics related to biodiversity and nature conservation is therefore very broad:
- Development of cost-effective networks of nature reserves;
- Monetary valuation of ecological goods and services;
- The role of uncertainty in policy-making on biodiversity;
- Policy instruments such as agri-environment schemes.
Research on biodiversity is likely to combine economics with insights from such disciplines as population biology, landscape ecology and genetics.
For more information on the economics of biodiversity and nature conservation you can contact dr. Hans-Peter Weikard or dr. Rolf Groeneveld.
Private conservation finance
A BSc student could make an inventory of the arrangements currently applied, and the conditions for success. This work will mostly entail a literature review. This BSc student would need to have done at least one of the introductory courses in economics, such as Environmental Economics for Environmental Sciences (ENR-21306) or Environmental Economics and Environmental Policy (ENR-20306). Advanced courses like Economics and Management of Natural Resources (ENR-31306) or Cost-Benefit Analysis and Environmental Valuation (DEC-31306), or knowledge of finance (options, futures, etc.) will also be helpful, but are not essential.
An MSc student could, for example, analyse under what conditions a partnership between resource users, financial institutions, and other parties (like NGOs or governments) for resource restoration is attractive for all parties involved. This work is most likely to be a model study, with possible interviews or consultations with NGOs or researchers at other chair groups or research institutes in ecology, biology, or nature conservation. This MSc student would need to have done at least one of the introductory courses in economics, such as Environmental Economics for Environmental Sciences (ENR-21306) or Environmental Economics and Environmental Policy (ENR-20306), and be able to develop models in R, Matlab, or Python. Advanced courses like Economics and Management of Natural Resources (ENR-31306) or Cost-Benefit Analysis and Environmental Valuation (DEC-31306), or knowledge of finance (options, futures, etc.) will also be helpful, but are not essential.

Cost-benefit analysis and monetary valuation of the environment
Cost-benefit analysis is a policy evaluation tool that is increasingly used to assess big public projects with serious environmental and social effects. Examples of these are highways, railroads, coastal protection, and big irrigation projects. What distinguishes cost-benefit analysis from other methods is its explicit aim to express all relevant effects in monetary terms. This means that a cost-benefit analysis takes into account not only the finencial costs and benefits, but also, for example:
- The change in the quality of local residents' living environment, as reflected by the change in house prices
- The change in tourism benefits, as related to what visitors will spend more or less in travel costs to visit the area
- How much stakeholders should be paid to be compensated for any loss in environmental quality, as measured in a survey
Full cost-benefit analyses are expensive and labour intensive, so performing a complete cost-benefit analysis for your thesis may not be realistic. What a thesis on cost-benefit analysis could involve is the development, exercise, and analysis of a valuation survey, or a thorough literature research on the monetary value of some environmental effect or ecosystem service. Only if the topic is not too big, and data are readily available, could a cost-benefit analysis be the topic of your thesis.
For more information on cost-benefit analysis and monetary valuation you can contact dr. Rolf Groeneveld.
Biotechnology and bioenergy
Modern biotechnology (including the use GMOs and bioenergy) offers solutions for many environmental and nutritional problems. The technologies are not undisputed, and many of the concerns include environmental risks. Environmental-economic research into biotechnology and bioenergy addresses such topics as:
- The expected environmental costs and benefits of transgenic crops;
- Assessment of irreversible benefits costs of transgenic crops;
- The economic value of animal genetic resources;
- Political economy of biotechnology and bioenergy
- Economics and policy of regulating new technologies (e.g. Cartagena Protocol);
- Contribution to health and nutrition (biofortification).
A thesis on transgenic crops could apply theories on decision-making under uncertainty to policies regulating the new technology or analyze the social benefits and costs of bioenergy production. It could also, for instance, apply monetary valuation techniques to the valuation of consumer concerns.
For more information on the economics and policy of biotechnology and bioenergy you can contact prof. Ekko van Ierland.
Non-renewable resources and waste management
Many of the resources we use are non-renewable. The most well-known example are fossil fuels, but another example is phosphate, which is an essential fertilizer. Because of their non-renewability, the use of such resources needs to be well-planned, taking into consideration future generations. Moreover, we need to use (and reuse, and recycle) these resources efficiently. You can therefore think of the following topics:
- How much recycling is optimal?
- What role can economic incentives play in stimulating people to collect waste separately?
- What barriers exist to investments in renewable energy projects in developing countries?
- What is the right discount rate in dealing with problems that affect future generations?
A thesis on non-renewable resources or waste management is likely to involve cost-benefit analysis, general equilibrium modelling, or other economic modelling techniques.
For more information on the economics of non-renewable resources and waste management you can contact dr. Hans-Peter Weikard.
Student wanted: Phosphorus depletion and recycling
More information: dr. Hans-Peter Weikard.
Water management
Water is everywhere, but clean water for consumption or irrigation is becoming increasingly scarce. Economic analyses of water management deal with questions such as:
- How should water trading be organized?
- What are the costs and benefits of water management?
- How should international agreements on international rivers be organized?
- How can we allocate water within river catchments efficiently?
- What economic instruments should we use to manage water?
A student conducting an economic analysis of water management is likely to collaborate with hydrologists. He or she may develop an economic model, perform a game theoretical analysis, or conduct a monetary valuation survey.
For more information on the economics of water management you can contact dr. Xueqin Zhu
Student wanted: Water pricing and quality control
More information: dr. Xueqin Zhu.
Macro-economic issues
Many environmental problems are global or national problems. Therefore, these problems and the policies that address them have economic repercussions on a national or international scale. Macro-economic issues in environmental economics include:
- The environmental and economic effects of 'green' taxation
- The relation between economic growth and environmental degradation (Environmental Kuznets Curve)
- The relation between economic growth and resource abundance (Resource Curse)
- The role of innovation in environmental policy
- Students working on this topic will probably use General Equilibrium models.
For more information on macro-economic issues in environmental policy you can contact prof.dr Ekko C. van Ierland.
Student wanted: Does a green tax reform offer a double dividend?
Management of Marine Resources
- How should multi-species fisheries be managed?
- What role could labelling systems play in stimulating the sustainability of fisheries?
- How can the different functions of marine ecosystems be allocated efficiently?
- What is the economic value of goods and services of the marine environment?
For more information on the economics of marine resources you can contact dr. Rolf Groeneveld.
