Video Lectures for January 19, 2006
I will post an
assignment here every week. From time
to time, I will also post some other material (what the midterm will cover,
etc). I post the entries in reverse
chronological order. You can always
scroll down to see earlier entries, but the current entry will be at the
top.
There will be a homework
assignment almost every week, posted in the columns to the right. One link is to the homework assignment in a
word file; the other is a pdf file.
Video Lectures I discussed
these lectures in class the first week.
The first two lectures cover the Malthusian Model. I use this as first week material. I will be happy to take questions in class
about these lectures, but there will be neither homework problems nor exam problems
on these two lectures. The last two
lectures (The Role of Models and Normative and Positive Economics)
cover methological issues. They are
not particularly deep and probably fall in the category of “look at them once
and you have sufficient understanding”. The Malthusian Model Applying the Malthusian
Model Evaluating the
Malthusian Model The Role of Models Normative and Positive
