This course is a workshop in applied microeconomic theory.
Topics include incentives, information, and uncertainty.
Journal articles are discussed after the background
necessary to understand the theory has been developed.
MAJOR READINGS
Journal articles and background readings
from advanced texts.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Each student will undertake a
major research project during the term. Several
presentations will be made to the class and a final research
paper is due at the end of the term. Regular class
participation is expected and short critical summaries of
the readings may be assigned.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
Students interested
in working towards Honors in Economics are encouraged to
consider this course. The research paper can become a
significant component of the research required for honors.
To read journal articles effectively, a reasonable level
of mathematical sophistication is required. At a minimum,
the student should be familiar with calculus through the
equivalent of Mathematics 122. Further background in
mathematics is most helpful. Please consult with the
instructor if you are concerned about your mathematical
abilities.
Please note that if you do not match one of the prerequisite
listings EXACTLY, then you need a prerequisite override.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting
or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the
first class, they will be dropped from the class list.
NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form
to the Registrar's Office.
