Selected topics in the study of economics. Specific content and emphasis are developed by the instructor. (Topics and emphasis will relate to economic development, labor economics, macro theory, environmental economics, governmental regulation of business and similar aspects of economics.) Block 3: Advanced Topics in Economics: Globalization of Production. This course deals with production and trade from a globalization perspective, and will emphasize empirical, structural, and theoretical perspectives. Issues to be covered include the changing global map of production and trade, development and spread of transnational corporations (TNCs), the political dimension, the nation-state, the role of technology, breaking-up the national systems of production, and global changes within different manufacturing and service industries.

Selected topics in the study of Mathematical Economics. Specific content and emphasis are developed by the instructor(s). Topics will meet the ME elective requirement for the Mathematical Economics major. Block 4: Advanced Topics in Mathematical Economics: Macroeconomic Theory. Modern macroeconomic analysis is inherently nonlinear and dynamic. Differential equations, difference equations, and dynamic optimization are part of the core tools used in modern macroeconomic research. These mathematical tools are illustrated with vector fields and phase diagrams. The purpose of this class is to learn these modeling techniques and apply them to current issues in modern macroeconomic research ranging from inflation and unemployment to optimal combinations of fiscal and monetary policy. In the end, students will be able to specify macroeconomic problems in terms of a mathematical model, solve them and interpret the results. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor and Economics 151, Economics 152. 1 unit - DeAraujo. Block 4: Advanced Topics in Mathematical Economics: Macroeconomic Theory.

This course provides the student with the mathematical tools to explore the economic models of addiction. The course begins by exploring static demand-side models of addiction before proceeding to their dynamic counterparts. The course will rely on journal articles that explore the demand for addictive substances such as alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and cocaine. Also explored are models that treat gambling and sports spectatorship as addictive behaviors. A limited discussion of supply-side models is also included. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor. 1 unit - Fenn.

The role of general managers in creating and sustaining competitive advantage. Applies microeconomic principles and organization theory to study how managers position their firms in ever-changing competitive arenas, marshal scarce resources to develop competencies, and design structures that promote learning and efficient flows of knowledge and information. Prerequisite: Economics 150 (or 151 and 152) and 160. 1 unit - Chesley.
