Class Information
Class meets Mondays 12-2 p.m. in 608-7 Evans Hall.
This is a reading-course type seminar. It is suitable for graduate students who have previously taken Economics 210A. Requirements are three. Students are expected to contribute to the reading list (in consultation with the instructor). Students are expected to participate actively in classroom discussion. Each week one member of the class, together with the instructor, will take primary responsibility for introducing and critiquing the material. Finally, students will submit a research prospectus. This prospectus should sketch a research idea that can be developed more fully in subsequent semesters.
