Research in Economics (MECS-560-3)
This course introduces first-year PhD students to the economics research environment. With an emphasis on breadth, and minimal prerequisite knowledge at the graduate level, students are exposed to the process of forming and answering research questions. The course involves multiple faculty providing their perspective on successful approaches to research by highlighting significant recent works in their respective fields of interest.
Economic Theory I: Perspectives on Behavioral Economics (MECS-550-1)
This course focuses on formal theories of individual and strategic behavior, ranging from classic expected utility to models incorporating psychology, bounded rationality, and other empirically motivated departures from standard frameworks. Topics span a variety of theoretical methodologies and include applications to information economics, search, and mechanism design from a behavioral perspective; the selection covered may vary with available time/interests.
Microeconomic Analysis (MECN-430-0)
Among the topics this core course addresses are economic analysis and optimal decisions, consumer choice and the demand for products, production functions and cost curves, market structures and strategic interactions, and pricing and non-price concepts. Cases and problems are used to understand economic tools and their potential for solving real-world problems.
