We will attempt to sequentially follow the following reading list. The semester is divided into 15 weeks and readings are assigned on that basis. By coming to class regularly students will be able to determine exactly which readings are to be covered in the next class. Any deviation in reading assignments will be announced at the appropriate time in class. I will not use limited class time to review material that I believe the student should be able to understand in its reading.
Lectures primarily serve in explaining economic theory and in answering questions.
Lectures complement the readings instead of substituting for them. If time does not permit the completion of the entire set of topics the instructor will choose among those topics remaining to be covered.
