L11 Econ 2404 The Creation of Capitalism 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: This course examines the emergence of commercial, financial, and labor practices prior to the Industrial Revolution at the end of the eighteenth century. At the same time that students look at how money was made, they will consider contemporary responses to these economic practices, from concerns about usury, market manipulations, and increasing luxury consumption to the promotion of commerce as essential to the prosperity and strength of the nation. The course begins by defining the basic institutions and structures of the medieval Mediterranean, such as banking and credit operations, trading partnerships, and the position of the merchant within Renaissance society. The focus then shifts to merchant capital in an era of centralization, as the Dutch develop their world trade hegemony and the increasingly centralized states support of monopoly companies and mercantilist policies. The course ends by looking at the expanding world of commerce in the era of integration, as European merchants entrench their control of production and trade throughout the globe through their increased social and political importance, the spread of the putting-out system, and the refinement of colonial policies.

L11 Econ 404 Behavioral Economics and Experimental Economics 3.0 Units Lab Required Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: Behavioral economics is an effort to incorporate ideas from psychology into economic models of behavior. We will focus on popular experimental anomalies, including the Allais and Rabin paradoxes, ultimatum bargaining, the centipede and public goods contribution games. We will examine the extent to which these are consistent with standard economic theory and how they may contradict it. The primary focus will be a critical examination of psychological theories of non-standard preferences including loss aversion, probability weighting, reciprocity, fairness and present bias. Theories of incorrect beliefs and systematic biases such as money illusion and procrastination will be covered. Applications to the current economic crisis will also be discussed. The class will include an introduction to experimental methods in economics, including hands-on experience in the MISSEL laboratory. A sound grounding in economic theory is essential to the course. You must have successfully completed Economics 4011, and should be acquainted with basic optimization theory, expected utility theory, risk aversion, discounting and basic game theory including dominance, Nash equilibrium and subgame perfection..

L11 Econ 444 Innovation and Intellectual Property: Theory and Practice 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: Innovation - that is: figuring out better and cheaper ways of satisfying human desires - is the key to improving our well being. It is not patient saving and accumulation that makes us so much better off than we used to be: capital accumulation is only the conduit through which the innovation juices flow. The question is what drives it? How come some societies are apparently much more innovative than others? How come we have the impression that most useful inventions took place in the last three centuries? Are there policies that help fostering innovation and others that hurt? The course tries to address these questions. Economists have many theories of innovation, and some better than others. We will look at the theories, we will examine the facts (past and present), then we will go back to the theories and reconsider their explanatory power. With this background we approach the debate about Intellectual Property, what it is and what it is not good for, whose interests it serves and whose well being it thwarts. Prerequisite: Econ 4011.

Waits managed by dept. 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.

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. Prerequisites: Econ 4011, Econ 4021, and Econ 413.

Methods for structural estimation are increasingly used in several areas of empirical microeconomics. Students interested in all applied areas in microeconomics are encouraged to take this class. Methods will be illustrated with applications drawing from several fields (Labor Economics, Family Economics, Development Economics, Empirical Industrial Organization, Health Economics, Law & Economics, Urban Economics, Empirical Public Economics, Environmental Economics, Economics of Education, etc). and representing the research interests of the audience. We will cover the estimation of static models, but we will emphasize the use of dynamic structural models. We will cover frontal methods (i.e., methods that involve solving the economic problem inside a estimation routine) as well as the methods that avoid the computational burden associated with a full-solution approach to estimation. We will also go over methods to estimate the parameters of static and dynamic games. There is no final exam. Grades are based on computational problem sets and research paper proposal using methods covered in class.

The first part of the course will cover basic results in continuous time stochastic process, and develop the essentials of stochastic calculus. In the second part, those tools will be used to analyze a variety of issues related to growth and asset pricing. A partial sample of the questions that will be discussed includes: " The effects of policy and real instability on growth paths. " The impact of tax and fiscal policies on economic performance. " The equilibrium determination of asset prices and their relationship with real shocks. " The connection between aggregate quantities and the price of fixed income securities.

L11 Econ 5725 Quantitative Macroeconomics Theory 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: This course follows the first year macro sequence: 501 and 572. Our goal in this course is to learn tools that help us to relate models to data, that is, we aim at learning how to answer quantitative questions and we will learn to do so by doing. This will require intensive computational work by students. We will learn how to construct and characterize equilibrium allocations of representative agent models, overlapping generations models and heterogeneous agents economies. We will learn the computational tools to solve those artificial economies in stationary and non-stationary environments such as business cycles or development processes taking good care of distributions and aggregate consistency. Much emphasis of this course is on the calibration process: we will spend much time discussing the mapping from theory to data. The grade will be some weighted average of regular homeworks, class presentations and a referee report.

The course is intended to provide students with a battery of tools that will help them identify relevant questions and identify the right approach (methodology) to solve them, as well as learning different quantitative methods to solve the models that we study throughout the semester. For the student, the goal is to start thinking about possible research questions, learn how to develop a research plan and transmit ideas in an effective way.

L11 Econ 582A Seminar on Work, Family, and Public Policy I 0.0 Unit Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: This course is a continuation of Econ 582, which examines various topics in labor economics and the economics of the family, including but not limited to, the allocation of time, family bargaining, and the economics of health. The course meets once a week (every Monday, 12:00 - 1:30) for both the fall and spring semesters. To receive credit, students are required to attend all course meetings for both semesters. The course will be integrated with a biweekly workshop series. Thus, there will an outside speaker every other Monday. Students will be expected to read and report on papers in the literature. Students will also be expected to write a paper and present it during the spring semester. NOTE: Econ 582 should be taken for 3 units of credit in the Fall and 582A must be taken for zero units in the Spring in concurrent semesters. Failure to enroll in both courses will result in no grade being given for the course.
