We are looking forward to an exciting year for the Club that will be fostered by your support. The course is cross-listed as Economics 16 and Civil Engineering 36. The course will study the way that new engineering developments affect the development of the economy and of society as a whole. It will also examine how the economy's demands for transportation in turn affect the development of new forms of transportation. It is a WAC-1 and will also count for American Civilization GenEd credit.
Materials are available from Diana.
This course has been completely redesigned in order to reflect some of the most important current macroeconomic issues and relevant research. Topics that we will study include growth and productivity, inflation and unemployment, and macroeconomic performance in an era of financial crisis. For many years it looked as if the U.S. economy had a low rate of productivity growth. In the past few years, however, there seem to be signs of a resurgence. It is a WAC3 course.
