3.00 Credits
Credit Hours: 3.00. Provides students with the capability to apply microeconomic theory and econometrics to analyses of economic issues and problems. Students will work through applied producer/consumer problems to gain experience in the uses of econometric estimation. Topics include: primal-dual approaches, direct and indirect functions, flexible functional forms, static optimization, separability and aggregation, risk and expectations, dynamics and demographics. Examples are drawn from both consumer and producer applications. Prerequisite: AGEC 65100, ECON 60700. Typically offered Summer Fall. 3.000 Credit Hours Levels: Graduate, Professional, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Agriculture College Agricultural Economics Department

3.00 Credits
Credit Hours: 3.00. Studies the nature and importance of linkages between agriculture and the macro economy, and examines theories and methods used to establish or quantify these linkages in agricultural models. Extensions of macroeconomic accounting and theory into an open economy are explored by examining attempts by agricultural economists to estimate macroeconomic linkages and build them into commodity models, and considering consequences of implicit and explicit macroeconomic assumptions in much of our work. The changing role of agriculture in an economy under structural transformation will be key to understanding these linkages and how they evolve, as shown in several new developments seeking to explain both recent events and policy history in macro-theoretical frameworks consistent with observed empirical regularities. Typically offered Fall. 3.000 Credit Hours Levels: Graduate, Professional, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Agriculture College Agricultural Economics Department

3.00 Credits
Credit Hours: 3.00. The literature discussed in this urban and regional economics course covers theoretical texts, conceptual as well as statistical, and empirical applications in order to introduce the student to the economist's view on spatial variation in economic outcomes. This ranges from coverage of the theory of industrial location choice, through theoretical and empirical analysis of the spatial distribution of economic activities (agglomeration theory, industrial clusters, central place theory), to theoretical and empirical explanations for the spatial structure of cities, the working of regional labor markets and migration. The course covers various empirical tools utilized in spatial data analysis (spatial econometrics) and modeling of regional economies and their interrelations (interregional input-output analysis). Prerequisites: AGEC 20300 or ECON 34000 or ECON 51100. Typically offered Spring. 3.000 Credit Hours Levels: Graduate, Professional, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Agriculture College Agricultural Economics Department

3.00 Credits
Credit Hours: 3.00. This course deals with the analysis of spatial data and centers on both exploratory tools developed in spatial statistics and GIScience, as well as on econometric models that have been the main focus in spatial econometrics. During the course, the theoretical basis for the analysis of spatial data and spatial models will be covered. This theoretical angle will be combined with ample opportunities to acquire hands-on experience in the analysis of spatial data. To the effect, up-to-date software, such as GeoDa, R, Stata, and Matlab will be used. A good working knowledge of basic statistics and regression techniques is needed. Prior experience with GIS is helpful but not required. Prerequisites: AGEC 45100 or 65000 or ECON 67100 or STAT 41700 or STAT 51200 or STAT 51700. Typically offered Spring. 3.000 Credit Hours Levels: Graduate, Professional, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Agriculture College Agricultural Economics Department
