The course will begin by developing the general framework used in economics as an approach for examining and solving legal problems. The course tries to make economic principles emerge from a more or less systematic survey of legal principles. By using this approach we are assuming that the law is a system; it has unity that economic analysis can illuminate. A significant amount of time will be spent on non-market behavior--with family, crime, accidents, litigation, and much else that is remote from the conventional analysis of market behavior studied in microeconomics.

The senior seminar is structured along two tracks - economics thesis work and advanced empirical project. Students can choose from the two tracks depending on their background training and career plans. Students who choose the economics thesis work must produce original scholarship in economics or related disciplines. Students may choose topics from economic theory, economic history, law, economic growth and development, environmental, international, or monetary and financial economics, or focus on contemporary economic and public policy questions or a doctrinal work on economic thought. This option is relevant for students completing the B.A. or the B.A. pre-law tracks in economics. This option is suitable and advisable for students who seek to get involved in an intensive research program and who plan to pursue advanced work in economics education or industry research. The advanced empirical project option is most appropriate for students who are completing the B.S. track in economics. The economics faculty and the seminar adviser will recommend the theme of the empirical project. Students are encouraged to explore local or regional policy questions, or choose topics in business development, insurance, marketing, international business, finance, or strategy, or choose to investigate broader contemporary social and economic problems.

The course offers an introduction to forecasting for junior and senior undergraduates in business and related majors. The course aims to equip students with basic expertise on how to generate forecasts using a variety of models including time-series and causal or structural models. The course covers the foundational concepts of stationary and non-stationary data, and the autocorrelation and the partial autocorrelation functions, and it introduces forecasting using time-series decomposition, exponential smoothing, regression models, the Box-Jenkins ARIMA methodology, and vector autoregression and cointegration models. Students will learn how to conduct model-based forecasting and how to evaluate the reliability of the forecasts generated. Computer applications are integral components of the course. Mastering these methods is among the most sought after qualifications for graduates working in either the private or public sectors of the economy.

This course aims to equip students with basic understanding of the econometric tools necessary in quantitative research. Students will apply the techniques learned to specific empirical problems that arise in economics, marketing, management, and finance. The course emphasizes the classical linear regression model, and it introduces estimation and testing using simple and multiple linear regression models, time series models, panel data models, and limited dependent variable models as well as estimation and testing using two-stage least squares and the instrumental variables method. The course is oriented towards applied econometric work and therefore aims to prepare the students for more empirical work. The computer is a valuable part of the course and the students will gain valuable experience in the area of computer assisted data analysis.

This course is an exploration of creativity and discovering multiple personal strengths! What is creativity? What are multiple intelligences? This class is designed to involve students in the process of discovering their own preferential styles and their creative selves. The focus will be three-fold: exploring a variety of theories of the creative process and how it is affected by individual intelligences; considering creative people and their lives; and creating products that incorporate our own creativity using various specific intelligences. We will discover and develop personal strategies that encourage and promote creative thinking and production. It is an opportunity to look at your own creativity and personal strengths in order to enhance learning and life.

This course is a concept-oriented exploration of geometry, measurement, probability, and data analysis topics in relation to children's learning. The emphasis is on developing conceptual and relational understandings of these topics from an informal and hands-on perspective. Students will examine how many of the concepts related to these topics develop from the early and elementary children's natural explorations. Prerequisite: MATH 141 with C or better.
