  • ECON 333: History of Economic Thought

    0.00 Credits
    Trinity College

    The course presents an overview of the evolution of economic ideas from the ancient Greeks and Romans through the development of modern microeconomics and macroeconomics in the 20th century. The classical economics of Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and Thomas Malthus are explained, along with the ideas of Karl Marx. The "marginalist revolution" of the 1870s serves as the basis for tracing the evolution of modern theories of the logic of choice, markets, prices, competition, and the firm. In addition, the emergence of modern macroeconomics will be analyzed from the Keynesian Revolution of the 1930s to "counter-revolution" of monetarism and new classical economics in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as from the revival of "Austrian" macroeconom Prerequisite: C- or better in Economics 101 and Ecomomics 301. 1.00 units, Lecture

  • ECON 334: Cities and Comparative Economic Development

    0.00 Credits
    Trinity College

    We will examine the economy of cities through the theoretical lens of institutional economics. From our exploration of various cities, we will gain an understanding of the specific institutional mechanisms for growth within an urban setting and an appreciation for the city as an important agent of economic and cultural development. The first section presents a theoretical overview of institutional economics, including the ideas of cumulative causation and a discussion of the nature of cities and the relationship between cities and economic development. This general framework creates the base on which we will build our case studies. The second section begins by exploring the case study of Renaissance Florence. One of the central concerns will be the role that capitalist institutions played in the economic development and growth dynamic of the early modern Florentine economy. Our investigation will then turn to Amsterdam, London, and eventually Hartford. The final section of the course will ask students to present their own analysis of the development of Hartford in which they apply and synthesize the ideas of the first two sections of the course in order to reach their own evaluation and conclusions.

  • ECON 335: Topics in Macroeconomics

    1.00 Credits
    Trinity College

    This course consists of three main sections: depressions and slumps; hyperinflation and currency crises; successes and failures in transforming Eastern Europe and Asia. Each of these sections will introduce case studies, explore theory, investigate potential causes and consequences, and discuss the related aspects of macroeconomic policy. Economic theory and empirical observation generally suggest that while economies are predisposed to short-run fluctuations, they tend to return to some "normal" state over time. Experience, however, suggests that there are important exceptions, such as prolonged periods of negative growth, or bouts of hyperinflation. The existence of such economic pathologies raises some obvious questions: Are they the result of unusually large adverse shocks, improper policies, a dysfunction of the correction mechanism that usually leads the economy back to its normal state, or something else Are there policies that have been identified as effective in preventing or softening the adverse effects of such pathologies 1.00 units, Lecture
