  • ECON 419: Mathematical Macroeconomics

    3.00 Credits
    Denison University

    This course is specifically designed to be a stepping stone to graduate school. It makes extensive use of mathematical notation and relies heavily upon calculus. About 40 percent of the course is devoted to applying calculus tools to topics previously covered in Intermediate Macroeconomics. Calculus and intensive mathematical modeling allow insights not available with the tools of intermediate theory. About 60 percent of the course is devoted to more advanced topics that are drawn from macroeconomics and investment theory. Prerequisites: 301 and 302 and MATH 121 or 123.(4 credits)

  • ECON 423: International Trade

    3.00 Credits
    Denison University

    The new wave of globalizationhas brought international trade issues to the forefront of both economics and society. This course will analyze the causes and consequences of international trade. The theory of international trade and the effects of trade policy tools will be developed in both perfect and imperfect competition, with reference to the empirical evidence. This will allow us to address many essential questions such as the patterns of trade, the welfare impact of trade, and protectionism. The frameworks developed in this course will also serve as a context for a discussion of several important contemporary issues, including the relationship between trade and economic growth, income inequality, the importance of the World Trade Organization, and the effects of free trade agreements.
