Course Homepage: http://www.econ.lsa.umich.edu/classes/Econ401_W01/ This course deals with the theoretical analysis of consumers, firms, markets, and price determination. The analysis is rigorous, using the tools of algebra, geometry, and elementary calculus in constructing models. Prerequisites include one term of calculus. Economics 401 is a prerequisite for many other courses offered in Economics. Concentrators in economics are required to elect this course and are encouraged to complete it early in their concentration program. It is not recommended that 401 and 402 be taken in the same term. Main lecture will meet twice a week. Sections will meet twice a week. Textbooks:
ECON 402. Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory.Economic Theory and StatisticsSection 001.Instructor(s): Neil Harold Buchanan (nbuchana@umich.edu)Prerequisites: Econ. 101 and 102, and Math. 115. (4). Rackham credit requires additional work. Credits: (4). Course Homepage: http://www.econ.lsa.umich.edu/classes/Econ402_W01/ This course in macroeconomics deals with the determination of broad economic aggregates such as national income, employment, the price level, and the balance of payments in both the short run and the long run. Rigorous analysis is used to understand the forces that determine these economic variables, and how they are affected by public policies. Econ. 402 is predominantly a lecture course, with grades based on hour test(s), written exercises, and final exam. Economics 402 is a prerequisite for many other courses offered in Economics. Concentrators in Economics are required to elect this course and are encouraged to complete it early in their concentration program. It is strongly recommended that students take Economics 401 before 402.

With the basics of statistics and probability covered in Economics 405, Economics 406 proceeds to an in-depth treatment of the theory and practice of multiple regression analysis. The course begins with the multiple regression model under ideal conditions and then goes on to detailed consideration of departures from the ideal conditions as well as a brief introduction to nonlinear regression models. The 405-406 sequence covers econometrics in greater depth and breadth than Economics 404. Students electing Economics 406 should have completed Math 116, Economics 101-102, and either Economics 405 or Statistics 426. Grade will be based on exams and homework exercises.

Data on demographic and economic trends for a wide variety of countries are used throughout the course. The course demonstrates recent innovations in the application of microeconomic theory to demographic behavior, including fertility, marriage, and migration. Students are also introduced to basic techniques of demographic measurement and mathematical demography. Topics include the economic consequences of the baby boom, the effects of an older age structure on the social security system, and the relationship between population growth and natural resources. Computer-based exercises are used to illustrate economic and demographic concepts and examine empirical evidence from a variety of populations. Students write a paper providing an economic-demographic analysis of their home community or other geographic area. Other coursework includes problem sets, short writing assignments, and the midterm and final examinations.

Course Homepage: No Homepage Submitted. No Description Provided Check Times, Location, and Availability ECON 609. Advanced Methods for Economists.Economic Theory and StatisticsSection 001.Instructor(s): Miles S Kimball (mkimball@umich.edu)Prerequisites: Econ 600, 601, 602, 603, 604. Graduate standing. (3).

Game Theory.Economic Theory and StatisticsSection 001 – Uncertainty and Information.Instructor(s): Lones A Smith (lones@umich.edu)Prerequisites: Econ 600, 601, 602, 603, 604, 609. Graduate standing. (3). Credits: (3). Course Homepage: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lones/teach.html This course explores how Bayesian rational people behave under uncertainty, largely in dynamic matching and learning envrionments. The topics are wholly selfish, revolving around my past and current research in dynamics: a risk and information theory foundation, individual and social learning, financial timing, and matching models, most with search. Pre-reqs. Some game theory from core micro course is assumed in this course, but it is not essential to 90% of the course. First year PhDs can take the course. The section in Econ 617 on supermodularity is useful to know, but I will first summarize it for those who missed Ennio's class. The main advantage conferred by second or higher year status is intellectual maturity, and an ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Grading. For a grade, the major course credit hurdle is a scheduled final exam, worth 60% of the grade. The rest of the grade comes from four problem sets, due Mondays: February 5, February 26, March 19, and April 13. Prospective exam/prelim takers should seriously solve them, since those who don't solve problems simply don't learn Theory! My (usually joint) papers often start out out as assignments or exams. Depending on class size, I might replace one assignment with a presentation requirement of a key ( } ) paper. Texts. No modern uncertainty text exists. Ross (recommended) is a fun reference on stochastic dynamic programming. Topkis is "required", even though I largely summarize its content; you will need it also for game theory 617. My papers are on my web page, at http://www.umich.edu/~lones/papers.html. Books below are on reserve.
