The purpose of this course is to provide a basic introduction to accounting, including the foundations of accounting concepts, the underlying mechanics, and the overall perspective required to become intelligent users of accounting information. The course will focus on the main financial statements, the nature of accrual measurement, and the information perspective. In addition, we will explore some accounting methods in detail, such as revenue recognition, assets, liabilities, and equity. The overarching perspective is that accounting reports provide information that is useful for a variety of purposes. In the course, I will also provide insights into how the financial markets use accounting information to evaluate executives, predict future stock returns, assess firms’ riskiness, and allocate society’s resources to their most productive uses

Prerequisites: (ECON UN3211 and ECON UN3213 and ECON UN3412) Prerequisites: (ECON UN3211 and ECON UN3213 and ECON UN3412) Course objective: This course has two objectives: (1) To develop students' skills in research and writing. Specifically, participants will work on: formulating a research question, placing it in the context of an existing literature and/or policy area, and using economic and econometric tools to address it in writing. Specifically, in the first part of the class, readings, problem sets, and a midterm exam will build skills in these areas. In the second part, students will come up with a research question, and address it in a research proposal/report. While all the applications will be on the economics of education, these skills will be useful in students' subsequent careers,regardless of the area of economics they focus on. (2) To provide an introduction to key issues in the economics of education. Specifically, education is a signicant industryevery person entering this course will have already spent years in this industry as a customer, as a worker, as an input, or all of the above. The course will address questions like: What does economics have to say about how this industry is organized and what determines its output? Why do individuals invest in education? What determines the behavior, productivity, and reputation of rms in the industry? What role should government and public policy (if any) play in its operation?
Prerequisites: ECON UN3211 and ECON UN3213 and ECON UN3412 Prerequisites: ECON UN3211 and ECON UN3213 and ECON UN3412 This course has two main objectives: To introduce students to the process of writing a research paper. This includes identifying and formulating a research question, reviewing the previous literature and positioning the problem in that context, identifying the proper tools and data to answer the question, and finally writing the findings in the format of a research paper. An immediate goal is to prepare the students to undertake a senior thesis project. To provide an introduction to selected topics and survey evidence in macroeconomics, with a focus on the expectation formation process of economic agents. We will start by going through some canonical models that are widely used for economic and policy analysis to understand the role of expectations in the decision making of households and firms. We will then go through a series of survey data and relate the empirical evidence to the theoretical predictions of those canonical models
