Orange Town

It is my sixth day in Paris.

What I attended so far is really an intensive course with whole day long taught classes and discussions. I almost have no time to look around Paris more but I like the course I had here. This course, one of "ATHENS Intensive Course", was named "Economic Policies for Environmental Resources" with broad and intensive knowledge in five days. The taught classes includes "An environmental policy from a neo-classical point of view and the creation of market for environmental goods", "Peasant Agriculture"( risk, institutions, household models, farming systems), and "Economic valuation of environmentl goods". You can see it is a little taugh from the name of it but it is really interesting for me especially the "Peasant Agricutule" which try to explain or describe a model of "originally" simple agricuture society in some developing countries like Malayway and some critical issues about poverty reduction. This lecturer comes from Imperial College of London Univ. have excellently clear speech and thinking and he brought some clear ideas about "Poverty Reduction" from both way of Anthopology and Economy. It is really a stimulation for me.
