Hey Prof., seems like an off topic question and I'm sure there are other factors to consider (e.g. perhaps birth rates are higher in in-land areas in the US) but based on your coastal development data, from 1970 - 2010 there was over a 50% growth in pop. density in in-land areas, whereas it was just under 50% growth in coastal areas. With this data on the screen you assert that coastal population density is growing faster than inland. I was just wondering if you had further explanation to your reasoning (I'm making an assumption you have more than just a passing interest in coastal population projections). Thanks, Bryce
Hey Bryce, I've seen this example used in textbooks and papers in public policy and environmental economics, used as an example for unintended consequences. You can probably do a search on jstor and find some papers investigating other factors. Let me know if you find something interesting.
Great presentation, very useful.
Great
An overview video of public policy I created for our introductory graduate course in public policy, POL500 (Public Institutions & The Policy Process).
Thank you! Found these introductory videos to policy very useful.
Thank for this great presentation Chad. It is really amazing!!!
Thanks
