課程目標 |
Purpose:
There are three purposes of this course:
1. Introduce students to graduate-level Economics of Consumer Demand
2. Prepare students for further graduate economics courses in the field
3. Provide a working knowledge of the theory of the household to the graduate student. That working knowledge means that by the end of the course the student is able to develop small models of the household suitable for analyzing problems involving consumer demand and consumption. In the analysis, the student should be able to:
a. identify the important economic forces at work;
b. develop hypotheses with respect to their effects on consumption and demand; and
c. Understand the implications of the theoretical analysis for empirical research

課程要求 |
Techniques: Lectures, readings, problem sets and a term paper will be used to fulfill these purposes. The lectures will provide a systematic treatment of the subject. The readings will either augment or deepen the treatment of the lectures. The problem sets will either have the student demonstrate or work out the consequences of the theory or provide practice problems for the student to analyze. |
