You will also need to be reasonably familiar with basic micro and macroeconomics. This class will make extensive use of PC computing using Eviews. Other materials will be provided on my webpage or in lecture. These weights are fixed - improvement on later exams will not retroactively raise your grades on earlier exams. You will probably find the class very hard to follow if you fail to spend sufficient time on all of the homeworks.

Late homework is no longer accepted after I pass out my suggested answers for a given assignment. My proposed schedule for the semester follows. If it proves too ambitious, I will try to simply say less about each topic rather than cut the topics for the final weeks.
