How prevalent is discrimination in sports and can it be measured? Should college athletes be paid? Is there any justification for professional sports leagues exemption from anti-trust statutes? What do players unions do? What does and does not promote competitive balance in college football and the major sports? What can golf teach us about the Executive Pay crisis? Should gambling on sports be legal? Is there such a thing as the hot hand? Why do alcohol and sports(seem to)go together? Is the NFL on the decline?These and many other exciting questions related to sports, media and entertainment(though mostly sports)will be covered. Like its popular consideration as a metaphor for life, sports economics is a popular examination ground for more traditional theoretical economics in particular for topics in Labor Economics and Industry.

Network theory is the study of how relationships among individuals, firms, and institutions shape social, economic, and political outcomes. It provides tools to analyze how connections determine the diffusion of information, the spread of epidemics, the fragility of financial systems, and the interdependence of industries. This course introduces and develops the basic concepts and measures of networks, including centrality, transitivity, and homophily, and applies them to cases such as opinion formation, input-output economics, macroeconomics, diffusion models, and financial contagion. The objective is to equip students with both theoretical and empirical tools to analyze networked systems. Prerequisites: ECON 207 and a semester of calculus

We will discuss and address important questions such as: Why do countries trade with each other? Do countries benefit from trade? Who are the winners and losers? What goods should countries import and export? Additionally, we will explore various trade policy issues, including the gains from trade, the use of different trade policy instruments, the economic effects of trade wars, and the organization of the international trade system.

Game theory is a systematic study of strategic situations. It is a theory that helps us analyze economic and political strategic issues, such as behavior of individuals in a group, competition among firms in a market, platform choices of political candidates, and so on. We will develop the basic concepts and results of game theory, including simultaneous and sequential move games, repeated games and games with incomplete information. The objective of the course is to enable the student to analyze strategic situations on his or her own. The emphasis of the course is on theoretical aspects of strategic behavior, so familiarity with mathematical formalism is required.

This course studies the economics of world integration. The goal of the course is to teach students a set of conceptual tools that are useful for understanding the causes of international trade, and the implications of globalization. We will discuss and address important questions such as: Why do countries trade with each other? Do countries benefit from trade? Who are the winners and losers? What goods should countries import and export? Additionally, we will explore various trade policy issues, including the gains from trade, the use of different trade policy instruments, the economic effects of trade wars, and the organization of the international trade system. |

Network theory is the study of how relationships among individuals, firms, and institutions shape social, economic, and political outcomes. It provides tools to analyze how connections determine the diffusion of information, the spread of epidemics, the fragility of financial systems, and the interdependence of industries. This course introduces and develops the basic concepts and measures of networks, including centrality, transitivity, and homophily, and applies them to cases such as opinion formation, input-output economics, macroeconomics, diffusion models, and financial contagion. The objective is to equip students with both theoretical and empirical tools to analyze networked systems. |
