Biography
G. Cornelis van Kooten is Emeritus Professor of Economics and former Canada Research Chair at the University of Victoria, Canada, and Scholar in Residence in the Business School at Trinity Western University, Canada.
“Economics and Management is amazing! Professor van Kooten has weaved together the appropriate theory with relevant concepts in environmental economics, ethics, climate change and energy, AI, and quantitative methods.”
James Vercammen, Professor, Sauder School of Business, University of British Columbia and author of Agricultural Marketing: Structural Models for Price Analysis"This is a valuable and wide-ranging text that brings together economic theory, institutional insights, and practical applications in a highly accessible way. Particularly commendable is its treatment of timely issues such as land use, climate change, energy, risk, the growing role of AI, and quantitative tools in applied analysis. This book will be a highly useful resource for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars seeking a stronger bridge between economics, management, and real-world decision-making."
