AEC 512 MICROECONOMIC THEORY I (4)
Fundamental topics in microeconomic theory. Topics include utility maximization and consumer demand, profit maximization and the theory of the firm, and labor and capital markets.
PREREQS:
AREC 312 and MTH 252 or equivalent.
|
AEC 513 MICROECONOMIC THEORY II (4)
Emphasizes principles for microeconomic theory at the master's level. Builds upon the foundations covered in AEC 512, and extends the theory and principles to cover uncertainty, game theory, competitive market equilibrium and welfare analysis, imperfect competition, and market failures. Primary emphasis is on understanding microeconomic theory and the underlying assumptions, and how it is applied to real world settings.
PREREQS:
AEC 512
|
AEC 515 MACROECONOMIC THEORY (4)
Macroeconomic theory and policy that covers the historical foundations and evolution of modern macroeconomic thought. Topics include the equilibrium determination of output, employment, prices, wages, and interest rates; the causes and consequences of economic fluctuations; monetary and fiscal policies; micro-foundations; and the role of expectations.
PREREQS:
ECON 315 and MTH 251 or equivalent.
|
AEC 523 PRELIMINARIES FOR QUANTITATIVE METHODS (4)
Examines mathematical and statistical topics essential for subsequent courses in graduate-level econometric analysis and quantitative methods. The course focuses on matrix algebra, probability and distribution theory (emphasizing joint and conditional distributions), statistical inference, properties of estimators, and iterative methods for solving non-linear systems.
PREREQS:

|
AEC 525 APPLIED ECONOMETRICS (4)
General principles of applied econometric research are emphasized, including model building, data analysis, hypothesis testing, and evaluation and interpretation of results. A variety of estimators are applied to real data, including least squares, panel data, simultaneous equations, discrete choice, and limited dependent variable models.
PREREQS:
