Economics of Public Policy
This course has two objectives: First, to develop students' skills in research and writing. Students will learn how to formulate a research question and place it in the context of existing literature and public policy importance, and how to bring economic and econometric tools to bear to answer such questions. Second, the course provides an introduction to the key issues in the economics of public policy. Broadly, we want to know how, when, and why the government should intervene in the economy. We will explore these questions through the lens of a number of key policy areas, including taxation, redistribution and social insurance, and the provision of public goods and services.

THE NEANDERTALS
Nearly two hundred after discovery, Neandertals remain one of most enigmatic hominin taxa. What do we understand today about their biology, subsistence, culture, cognitive abilities, and eventual fate? Are they simply extinct relatives or do their genes continue in many of us today? In this seminar we will examine the primary research in an attempt to find answers to some of these questions.
