Green Macroeconomics Module

The module, developed for the Tufts University Global Development and Environment Institute, introduces green macroeconomics by viewing the economy as embedded in society and the environment. It employs a pluralist approach—contrasting neoclassical, post-Keynesian, and classical theories—and develops an explicit green macroeconomic model to analyze the shift toward renewable energy.

• The module adopts a pluralist theoretical framework, comparing neoclassical, post-Keynesian, and classical theories, while utilizing classical models for illustrative purposes.
• The curriculum covers specific topics including renewable resources, energy return on energy invested, and climate adaptation and mitigation.
• The module develops a specific green macroeconomic model to investigate the effects of transitioning from an economy based on fossils to one based on renewables.
