Research on the Impact Mechanism of Environmental Economics on Study Tour Education: Transnational Cases and Student Capacity Building

Abstract
Against the backdrop of ecological governance, this paper selects transnational ecological cases such as China's Saihanba Forest Farm, the Netherlands' Rotterdam Water Management System, the United States' Yellowstone National Park, and Brazil's Amazon Rainforest protection. It constructs a practical path for environmental economics study-tour education, which follows the sequence of "identification of ecological issues - analysis of economic mechanisms - deduction of governance schemes - mutual learning from international experiences". The research shows that this path enables students to deeply understand the application of theories such as externality theory and public goods theory in ecological governance. Students participating in the study tour have significantly improved their abilities in aspects like ecological and economic policy evaluation and environmental cost accounting. Through comparing ecological governance models in different countries and regions, the core elements of environmental economics study-tour education are extracted, providing new ideas for cultivating economics talents with a global ecological perspective and practical capabilities.
