Economics taster lecture on ‘Public goods and climate change: an experiment’ on 26 November 2025

Public goods are characterised by the fact that their consumption does not give rise to rivalry. In this lecture, we conduct an experiment that shows that normally too little is invested in the provision of public goods. In practice, this problem can be seen, for example, in the investments that would be necessary to achieve climate protection targets. We explore the causes of this problem and discuss various possible solutions.

  • When: 26 November 2025, 8:30–10:00 a.m.
  • Where: Feldkirchenstraße 21, 96052 Bamberg
  • Who is it for? From Year 11 onwards 

The lecture will be held as part of Prof. Marco Sahm's course ‘Microeconomics II’ and will bring together school pupils with economics students from the European Economic Studies and Computational Economic and Politics programmes.
