AS.001.132 (01)	FYS: Exploring Economic Inequality	W 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Morgan, Barbara Anne	Gilman 35	Fall 2025	In this First-Year Seminar, we examine inequalities in income, wealth, and working conditions in the United States today. What do the historical trends look like and how do economists explain them? Is economic inequality a significant problem? If so, why? And what tools do we have in the policy arsenal to address it? We will draw on diverse sources, including economics readings, op-eds, podcasts, and short vignettes from literature to motivate our weekly discussions. Students will have the opportunity to present group research and lead class discussions drawing on the economic concepts developed in class. At the end of the semester, students will complete an individual research project exploring some aspect of current inequality, inspired by their own selection from literature, poetry, music, or film.
AS.001.149 (01)	FYS: What Is Poverty? A View from Economics and the Social Sciences	TTh 10:30AM - 11:45AM	Moffitt, Robert A	Gilman 134	Fall 2025	Social science is the scholarly study of society and social behavior. This First-Year Seminar will introduce students to the social sciences by studying poverty in America through the lens of economics and other social sciences, including sociology and anthropology. The quantitative approach taken by economics will be compared and contrasted with qualitative approaches. Illustrations of how the lives of the poor are led as depicted in ethnographic studies, movies, and literature will be studied to learn how integrated perspectives can be formed. Students will learn how to read scholarly articles with a critical eye, to speak about their interpretations of the material, and to write short critical essays. Students will also be introduced to quantitative analysis using graphs and tables. Group projects will be required. Guest lecturers bringing non-economics perspectives will visit the class.

AS.180.214 (01)	The Economic Experience of the BRIC Countries	TTh 10:30AM - 11:45AM	Dasgupta, Somasree	Hodson 303	Fall 2025	In 2001, Jim O’Neill, the Chief Economist at Goldman Sachs, coined the acronym BRIC to identify the four large emerging economies, Brazil, Russia, India and China. These economies had an amazing run for the next decade, and emerged as the biggest and fastest growing emerging markets. However, since 2014 there has been some divergence in the BRICs’ economic performance. In this course, we look at the economic experiences of the BRIC countries for the past several decades. We discuss the reasons that contributed to their exceptional growth rates, with particular emphasis on their transformation into market economies, and the reasons for their eventual divergence. We also analyze some of the challenges that these countries continue to face in their development process.

AS.180.243 (01)	Economic Policymaking	MW 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Fourakis, Stelios Stephen	Maryland 104	Fall 2025	A key contribution of economics to the policymaking process is understanding and predicting reactions of agents affected by policy changes. Many policies have unintended or indirect effects that are at least as important as their direct impacts, but less obvious. Fortunately, economic theory provides us a framework to understand them. In this course, we will survey a wide variety of subjects, from taxation, to drug policy and harm reduction, to health insurance plan design and regulation, to bankruptcy codes. Working in groups, students will prepare presentations on specific policy proposals not directly covered in class, in which they will describe (with evidence) all the channels by which that policy will act.

By analyzing some of the landmark antitrust cases, we will review the economic theories underlying competition law and we will discuss how competition policy places limits on firms’ behavior and affects firms’ strategic choices. We end this class by reviewing several recent antitrust cases arising in the context of digital economy.
AS.180.280 (01)	The History and Future of the Hedge Fund Industry	TTh 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Heerdt, Kevin M.	Croft Hall G02	Fall 2025	The precursors to modern hedge funds began more than 50 years ago, but in the 1990s the hedge fund, or alternative investments, industry began a period of rapid growth and evolution. With growth came controversy. Some argue that hedge funds, by allowing immense amounts of capital to be rapidly and freely deployed, play a vital role in pushing prices toward the efficient markets ideal. Others claim that hedge funds may accentuate speculative price dynamics, threatening the stability of the financial sector. While many hedge funds claim to offer outstanding returns to investors, data suggest that many clients end up paying high fees for unspectacular results. This course examines these and other controversies, while tracing the history of the alternative investments industry over the last 25 years.

AS.180.347 (01)	On Keynesian Economics and the Economics of Keynes	T 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Khan, Mohammed Ali	Gilman 77	Fall 2025	This course charts a narrative for the evolution of macroeconomics from its very initiation to its present formulation in a way that is sensitive to issues of principle and of policy, and without becoming totally subservient to the disciplinary boundaries within which the problems are formulated and studied. Rather than macroeconomics as a subject that takes its shape in current conventional texts, the focus of the course shall be how it got there. As such, it touches on the development of ideas and intellectual history. The course will be mathematically self-contained but will pre-suppose conceptual sophistication that one expects after completion of courses in micro and macroeconomics at the intermediate level. The course is open to students in the sister-disciplines in anthropology, political science, and sociology, but it would be advisable for interested students in these departments to talk to the instructors.

AS.180.369 (01)	Tools for Writing a Research Paper in Economics	M 3:00PM - 5:30PM	Carroll, Chris	Krieger 308	Fall 2025	This course will introduce students to the components involved in writing a research paper in economics or other quantitative disciplines, by spending the semester having them writing such a paper. Early in the semester, each student will pick a topic for their paper, which will consist just of a brief description of the question (probably a topic they have studied in a previous course). As the semester progresses, the student will learn how to flesh out this germ of a topic into a full-length paper using many of the internet and other tools that are used by scholars in their own research. These include tools for exploring a topic (Google Scholar; ChatGPT; Wikipedia); compiling a bibliography of references to your subject (LitMaps; PaperPile); creating a document with appropriate content (Jupyter notebooks); project management and collaboration via GitHub; generation and incorporation of figures and tables; and the preparation of slide presentations. This will be a hands-on course: Students will bring their laptops to the lecture and the use of the tools will be taught live and interactively. Writing assignments will take the form of Jupyter notebooks (or, for any graduate student enrollees, LaTeX documents). Recommended Course Background: some familiarity with python or other modern programming languages (though having taken a formal course in such a language is not required).
AS.180.382 (01)	Incentives, Uncertainty, and Decisions in Health Care	MW 1:30PM - 2:45PM	Richards-Shubik, Seth	Gilman 134	Fall 2025	In health care markets, uncertainty and information asymmetries are pervasive problems, which have profound impacts on the health of individuals and populations, and the costs of the health care system. This course uses economic models and methods to understand how these problems affect treatment decisions and therefore health outcomes and costs. We will focus on models that clarify the misaligned incentives among patients, providers, and payers, and on recent research that provides evidence of these problems in specific areas of care and suggests potential solutions. Students will develop an original research project that examines these issues in detail in a specific context, using a mix of data, simulations, and theoretical analysis. Recommended Course Background: AS.180.289 for understanding of the US health care system and AS.180.334 for econometric methods (could be taken concurrently).
AS.180.389 (01)	Social Policy Implications of Behavioral Economics	TTh 9:00AM - 10:15AM	Papageorge, Nicholas W	Hodson 305	Fall 2025	Economists increasingly incorporate insights from psychology into models of rational decision-making. Known as "behavioral economics", this line of research considers how, for example, emotions, rules-of-thumb, biased beliefs and time-inconsistent preferences influence how we make choices. Behavioral economics increasingly pervades policy discussions on topics as diverse as: obesity, the role of media, subprime mortgages and voting patterns. Behavioral models are certainly novel, but do they help us to design superior social policies? With the goal of preparing students to address this question, this course (1) provides a thorough overview of the main contributions of behavioral economics, highlighting departures from more traditional economic models and (2) emphasizes how behavioral economic models might (or might not) improve how we think about social policy.

We will study seminal growth models, and also try to explain cross-country income differences in terms of factors like geography, institutions and global integration. Knowledge of regression analysis (including instrumental variables estimation) is required.
AS.180.367 (01)	Investment-Portfolio Management	TTh 1:30PM - 2:45PM	Staff	Olin 305	Spring 2026	Investment securities and their markets, especially the stock market. The relations between expected return and risk. The determination of security prices. Financial portfolio selection. The assessment of the performance of managed portfolios.
AS.180.375 (01)	Causal Analysis: Using Big (and small) Data to Answer Economic Questions	MW 1:30PM - 2:45PM	Isen, Adam M	Gilman 10	Spring 2026	The purpose of the course is to show how experimental, quasi-experimental, and non- experimental methods can be used to advance knowledge about topics in economics and answer important policy and business questions. It will teach students the empirical techniques required to analyze data to determine causal relationships. The course will begin with a focus on the use of experimental methods in economics. Students will then proceed to learn and apply alternative empirical methods that can be employed to establish cause and effect when data are not obtained from a fully randomized setting. The tools and topics that are covered will be relevant to students interested in economics or other social sciences.

AS.190.420 (01)	From Polycrisis to Polytunity	M 2:00PM - 4:30PM	Ang, Yuen Yuen		Spring 2026	Around the world, people speak of living through a “polycrisis”—a time when overlapping disruptions create fear and paralysis. In this course, Prof. Yuen Yuen Ang invites you to flip the script: from polycrisis to polytunity, seeing disruption as a portal to new possibilities. Polytunity opens into Ang’s broader paradigm, AIM (Adaptive, Inclusive, Moral) Political Economy, which builds on her earlier works (How China Escaped the Poverty Trap, China’s Gilded Age). Together we’ll explore AIM’s three pillars: Adaptive (systems not machine thinking), Inclusive (diverse pathways, not one template), and Moral (ideas are shaped by power and positionality)—and trace how they can inspire both new research agendas and real-world applications across a range of fields. We’ll see how Ang’s “ideational forest” grows from roots to canopy, offering a generative compass for navigating our age of disruption.
AS.192.404 (01)	Autocracy, Democracy and Development: Korea, Indonesia and Myanmar	M 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Dore, Giovanna Maria Dora	Gilman 119	Spring 2026	East Asia’s “miracle growth” has not gone hand in hand with a decisive move toward democracy. Over the last 30 years, only eight East Asian countries have become democratic out of more than 60 countries worldwide, and they continue to struggle with the challenges of democratic consolidation, weak political governance, and limited citizens’ political engagement. This course explores the reasons why democratization proceeds slowly in East Asia, and seems to be essentially decoupled from the region’s fast-paced economic growth. The choice of Korea, Indonesia, and Myanmar as the case studies for this course results from their authoritarian past as well as their more recent institutional and political trajectories towards democracy.Contact instructor if prerequisites are not met.
