A lab that comprehensively evaluates environmental technologies and policies.

AboutAbout the lab
Evaluating environmental technologies and policies together.
The Social and Environmental Systems Lab conducts research on the comprehensive evaluation of environment-related technologies and policies.
Its listed research fields include numerical simulation and environmental economic policy, as well as the analysis and evaluation of the socioeconomics of production and consumption and its impact on the environment.
Waste and recycling policy and international resource circulation policy are also listed as research fields.
On the university's official page, the lab is introduced as a research field of the Environmental Engineering course in the College of Agro-Biological Resource Sciences.
Key terms
- Numerical simulation
- A method of using a computer to calculate a model expressed in mathematical equations and examine the results when conditions are changed.
- Technological externality
- A phenomenon in which the effects of one activity reach the production or lives of other people or firms without passing through market transactions.
- Market failure
- A situation in which resources are not allocated efficiently when left to the workings of the market alone.
