Economic Issues in Today's World
-
4.00 Credits
(Formerly Economics 40I and 40J.) Advisory: English Writing 1A or English as a Second Language 5; Economics 1 or 2. Basic economic analysis of current economic issues. Each topic studied is selected according to its currency and relevance to analysis. Examines fundamental economics issues within the context of current socio-political activity within the local or national economic environment. By learning the economic way of thinking, our students develop the ability to analyze complex, often ill-defined problems, and to think strategically about both intended and unintended consequences. The study of Economics develops a student's ability to organize thoughts, analyze complex issues, and to make clear and persuasive recommendations. These skills explain why economics majors score higher on law school admissions tests than other majors, and receive among the highest starting salaries. Recent classes have involved experimental economic techniques and their application to the understanding and testing of theory; the changing European economic community; liberal, conservative and radical perspectives on current economic policy; the restructuring of the California and United States economy; public finance options for local, state and federal government units; the use of simulations and modeling in economic analysis; political economy; and, experimental and behavioral economic theories and practices.
