L11 Econ 413W Introduction to Econometrics with Writing 3.0 Units Lab Required Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: Econometrics is the development and application of statistical techniques for the measurement of economic phenomena. This course is your initial study of econometric theory and practice. Topics include: translation of economic theory into statistical models, statistical foundations of econometrics, preregression analysis bivariate and multiple regression techniques, hypothesis testing, multicollinearity, specification error, autocorrelation, errors in variables, identification, and simultaneous estimation. The 3 writing assignments and the final paper will provide you an opportunity to formulate an economic model, estimate the model with appropriate data, and interpret the results. This experience will help you understand how econometrics relates to other upper-level economics courses which focus on theoretical models for how the world operates. Econometrics provides a method of testing the validity of these economic models, and the term paper will improve your writing skills, giving you a chance to write clearly and concisely about technical material.

L11 Econ 469 Great Transformation 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: This course asks the question, "What brought about the Industrial Revolution and the emergence of the contemporary 'capitalist, market society'?" In particular, is there a fundamental difference between the values, norms and cultures in "pre-capitalist" societies compared to post-Industrial Revolution societies? The answer to these questions depends on whether the Industrial Revolution represents an historical discontinuity - a "Great Transformation" turning-point - or whether, instead, there is more continuity in human history than the "Great Transformation" theory would have us believe. These questions are important as we try to determine whether the current market society is sustainable or whether (and where and when) we should expect a "Great Transformation" to emerge. The course will address these questions via readings from the best lessons of psychology, economics, anthropology and history, with a particular focus on data and empirical results. Classes will consist of a combination of lectures and class discussions, supplemented by individual- and group-based writing assignments.

L11 Econ 477 Topics in Financial Economics: Asset Pricing 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: The objective of the course is to develop the basic economic models that can be used to study the valuation of different financial assets and to discuss how to confront the theory with the evidence from financial markets. The course will develop the basic model of investment under uncertainty and discuss portfolio choices in static and dynamic settings as well as market equilibria and the impact of news on the forecast-ability of excess returns. The course will describe valuation in incomplete asset markets (e.g. arbitrage pricing theory) and the extension to the valuation of firms and real estate assets.Prerequisites: Econ 4011, Econ 4021 and Econ 413. 3 units.

L11 Econ 483 Economics of Education 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: The "economics of education" involves analysis of the economic and social determinants and consequences of education. Because each person´s education is an investment in human capital which allows the individual to contribute to society in a productive way, education becomes a crucial determinant of an economy´s ability to achieve high growth with high wages, low unemployment and strong social cohesion. This course will address three essential topics from the wide-ranging field of the economics of education. The first is demand-side oriented and includes: (i) the measurement of the returns to education in the labor market (human capital theory; the central idea of education as human capital investment); and (ii) a characterization of the education production function, which relates the various inputs affecting a student´s learning (schools, families, peers, neighborhoods, etc.) to measure outputs including labor market success, graduation rates and standardized test scores. The second important topic involves political economy and the supply side: the financing and provision of education. The third part of the course is devoted to the links between education and economic development, including cross-country differences in schooling, returns to schooling and per-capita income.
