ECON 426 - Seminar in History of Economic Thought
Unit(s): 4
This course highlights the contributions of leading economists and the relevance of their theories to later periods. The main purpose of this course is to study the progression of economic thought in order to gain a better understanding of economic theory in the present and future. This course begins with discussing the economic ideas of the “great masters” of economics: Smith, Ricardo, Marx, Marshall, and Walras. Economic thought associated with the early 20th century transition and modern era masters such as Keynes, Fisher, and Schumpeter are introduced next. In addition to these modern era masters, there will be many others to touch upon along the way to Keynes and thereafter. The course shifts after studying Keynes to a focus on modern economics, where the Keynesian and Monetarist schools of thought dominated most of the twentieth century’s latter half. Economic thought of Friedman, Lucas, Sargent, Tobin, Minsky, Shiller, and others are discussed in class. The class concludes with a consideration of current economic issues such as fiscal and monetary policies, unemployment, and globalization.

ECON 440 - Seminar in Industrial Organization
Unit(s): 4
Economists understand firm behavior by applying a simple rule for profit maximization: Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost. Models of perfect competition and monopoly are the simplest applications of this rule, but fail to explain many of the things firms do in real markets. Industrial Organization (IO) is motivated by observed deviations from the classical models of perfect competition and monopoly. Topics include models of price discrimination, product differentiation, oligopoly, entry deterrence, collusion, etc. in order to understand how different market institutions lead to different restatements of the profit maximization rule.

ECON 454 - Seminar in Behavioral and Experimental Economics
Unit(s): 4
Economics is the study of how people make choices in a world with constraints. In Neoclassical models, behavior is based on assumptions that may or may not be true. Behavioral economics, on the other hand, takes as its starting point actual behavior (observed either experimentally or in naturally occurring situations), using observations to incorporate more realistic psychological foundations. Typically this means enriching the theory rather than replacing it. Experimental methods are particularly useful in this kind of research.
