Attention Economics majors!
We have added some exciting new courses since registration began, and we have several special topics courses that you may have overlooked in picking classes.
We are offering Behavioral Economics, which is a hot topic in the field, as ECON 3498 section 002 class # 15726.
Behavioral Economics
In this course we will study economic behavior that is difficult to explain given the standard assumptions about full rationality that are commonly employed in economic analysis. Particular emphasis will be put on behavioral models of decision-making over risk, patience and procrastination, altruism and reciprocity, and errors in judgment and learning. We will examine the consequences of these models to understanding the behavior of individuals, firms, and markets in a variety of contexts and the ways in which policy-makers might respond. We will also survey recent work at the intersection of economics, psychology, and anthropology.
We have just added a section of ECON 3413 Financial Economics (Class # 16015).
There are also a couple of variable topics courses that may be of special interest to BS majors:
ECON 3498 Section 003 class # 15727 Open Source Programming with Python.
ECON 3498 Section 001 class # 10866 Causal Program Evaluation.
Along with ECON 3413, these last two will fulfill a “modeling and methods” requirement for the BS degree.
