  • ECO 100: Introduction to Microeconomics Economics studies the allocation of scarce resources. Since this is a microeconomics course, it will focus on the decisions made by individual consumers and producers. We will consider a variety of different market structures ranging from perfect competition to monopoly. We also will discuss the rationale for government involvement when there are market failures. 
  • ECO 101: Introduction to Macroeconomics Analysis of the operation of the national economy, with emphasis on the causes and consequences of recessions and booms, inflation and unemployment - and possible policy responses to each. Special attention will be paid to the effects and implications of the pandemic and its aftermath for the economy and for policy. 
  • ECO 102: Introduction to Personal Finance This course is an introduction to personal financial decisions for students with no prior knowledge of economics or finance. It introduces key concepts such as saving, borrowing, interest rates, risk, and diversification. It also provides an overview of important financial products and services such as bank accounts, retirement accounts, mutual funds, mortgages, credit cards, and insurance. Students learn to avoid common financial mistakes due to inertia and behavioral biases. Key concepts are illustrated through real world examples and homework exercises with practical calculations. 
  • ECO 202: Statistics and Data Analysis for Economics An introduction to probability and statistical methods for empirical work in economics. Probability, random variables, sampling, descriptive statistics, probability distributions, estimation and hypotheses testing, introduction to the regression model. 
  • ECO 300: Microeconomic Theory This course builds on your knowledge of microeconomics from ECO 100. As with ECO 100, this course will focus on the decisions made by individual consumers and producers. It will consider a variety of different market structures ranging from perfect competition to monopoly. It will also discuss the rationale for government involvement when there are market failures. While the topics will be very similar to those covered in ECO 100, the analysis will be more in depth. 
  • ECO 301: Macroeconomics This course covers the theory of modern macroeconomics in detail. We will focus on the determination of macroeconomic variables -- such as output, employment, price, and the interest rate -- in the short, medium, and long run, and we will address a number of policy issues. We will discuss several examples of macroeconomic phenomena in the real world. A central theme will be to understand the powers and limitations of macroeconomic policy in stabilizing the business cycle and promoting growth. 
  • ECO 302: Econometrics Develop facility with basic econometric methods and the ability to apply them to actual problems and understand their application in other substantive course work in economics. 
  • ECO 310: Microeconomic Theory: A Mathematical Approach This course presents the economic theory of individual and firm behavior using mathematical tools including calculus. The course will emphasize applications of microeconomic theory to consumer choices, output and production of firms, market interaction and equilibrium. 
  • ECO 312: Econometrics: A Mathematical Approach This course is an introduction to econometrics. Econometrics is a sub-discipline of statistics that provides methods for inferring economic structure from data. This course has two goals. The first goal is to give you means to evaluate an econometric analysis critically and logically. Second, you should be able to analyze a data set methodically and comprehensively using the tools of econometrics. 
  • ECO 316: Economic Lessons from the World of Sports The world of sports offers a broad laboratory to study many topics in microeconomics, while providing uniquely rich data on decisions, performance, and compensation. We will use theoretical and empirical tools to study topics such as behavioral biases in decision making, strategic behavior in games and tournaments, operation and efficiency of betting markets, salary determination, the value of diversity, evidence and implications of discrimination, the industrial organization of professional and collegiate leagues, and public policy issues concerning public infrastructure and exemptions from antitrust laws. 
  • ECO 317: The Economics of Uncertainty This is an advanced microeconomic theory course. Students are introduced to a variety of frontier research areas in microeconomic theory. While the course focuses on mathematical and statistical analysis, empirical and experimental applications of the material are discussed throughout. The course covers the following topics: [1] Theories of choice under uncertainty. [2] Risk aversion and applications to insurance and portfolio choice. [3] Asymmetric information: moral hazard and adverse selection. [4] Market design: auctions, matching markets, and voting systems. 
  • ECO 321: Firm Competition and Strategy This course is an introduction to Industrial Organization, a field of Economics concerned with imperfect competition and market structure. We introduce core concepts in the theory of Industrial Organization and examine empirical evidence for the theory. A key goal is to develop an understanding for how public policy may be used to mitigate any detrimental effects of market power in the economy (e.g., monopoly or oligopoly power). We build on the tools of microeconomics, game theory, information economics and econometrics. The textbook provides introduction to a variety of topics, many of which will be covered in class in greater depth. 
  • ECO 324: Law and Economics An introduction to the economics of law. Application of price theory and welfare analysis to problems and actual cases in the common law - property, contracts, torts - and to criminal and constitutional law. Topics include the Coase Theorem, intellectual property, inalienable goods, product liability, crime and punishment, and social choice theory. 
  • ECO 326: Economics of the Internet and Artificial Intelligence: The Digital Revolution Using microeconomic theory and case studies, this course explores the relationship between digital technologies (including artificial intelligence) and economic outcomes. Information access is continuous and ubiquitous, leading to networked markets. The drivers are data-driven decision-making, elimination of intermediaries, a content tsunami and scarcity of time. Models examined include graph theory, game theory, imperfect information, behavioral economics, network effects. New business models empower communities, while being scalable and asset-light. Implications are drawn for productivity, labor markets and economic inequality. 
  • ECO 342: Money and Banking This course explores the interaction between money, financial markets and institutions. We examine (1) the three roles of money, using cryptocurrencies as leading example, (2) the core principles of asset pricing, (3) how financial institutions, including FinTech, help to overcome financial frictions, but may lead to financial crisis and bank runs, (4) how monetary and macroprudential policy impact inflation, growth, and financial stability. (5) the international financial architecture, especially the role of the International Monetary Fund. 
  • ECO 362: Financial Investments This course is an introduction to financial investments for students with no prior knowledge of finance. It provides an overview of financial markets and instruments including stocks, bonds, futures, options, and other derivatives. A theory of optimal asset allocation teaches the tradeoff between risk and return and the importance of diversification. A theory of asset pricing, developed under the assumption of no arbitrage, is used to evaluate trading strategies and the performance of mutual funds and other asset managers. Key concepts are illustrated through examples and homework exercises that use financial market data. 
  • ECO 372/EPS 342: Economics of Europe The European Union (EU) is unique: 27 countries have come together in an (almost) economic union, giving up sovereignty over trade, migration, and money (euro area members) and adopting common policies related to agriculture, regions, competition, energy, and climate change. This course uses economic tools and empirical studies to understand the economics benefits and costs of creating a common market and a monetary union. It assesses whether common policies meet their stated goals such as reducing inequalities or anticompetitive behaviors. It also evaluates the EU's economic response to the euro crisis, immigration, and the war in Ukraine. 
  • ECO 416: Fintech This course studies the impact of recent technological innovations in the financial sector. We first study developments in digital money, ledgers, and payment systems. We then study the use of big data and artificial intelligence in the provision of credit. Finally, we explore different possible futures for how the overall financial sector could be organized. Throughout the course, students will learn both the underlying economics of fintech as well as practical statistical tools for developing new fintech products. The recent financial innovations will also be put into their historical, social and ethical context. 
  • ECO 418: Strategy and Information In this course on game theory and information economics, tools of decision making under uncertainty such as expected utility theory and Bayesian revision are studied and applied to the analysis of strategic interactions. Applications include auctions, bargaining, repeated games and mechanism design. 
  • ECO 462: Portfolio Theory and Asset Management This course covers a number of advanced topics related to asset management and asset pricing. Topics covered include mean-variance analysis, dynamic optimization, CAPM, APT, market efficiency, active money management, indexing, stock return predictability, bubbles and crashes, mutual fund and professional managers' performance, hedge funds, security analysts, social interaction and investor behavior and fixed income portfolio management. 
  • ECO 491: Financial Risk Management This course offers a comprehensive and modern view of a risk management system. The material studied will be helpful for any future career related to trading, portfolio and risk management. It is a hands-on computational course that mixes theory with practical solutions to issues appearing in financial firms. We primarily cover topics related to market risk including but not limited to risk factors and how they are used to price assets, bonds and options hedging, portfolio conditional loss distributions, back-testing our risk management models, and stress testing. 
  • ECO 494: Chinese Financial and Monetary Systems Although financial and monetary systems in China may appear similar to those in the U.S., China's hybrid economic model ensures their distinct operation. As China enters a new growth phase focusing on high-quality development, the importance of these systems in capital allocation and supporting government policies has grown. This course aims to explore these systems' structures and mechanisms, offering insights into investment opportunities and understanding the risks and challenges facing the world's second-largest economy. 
  • ECO 501: Microeconomic Theory I First term of a two-term sequence in microeconomic theory. Topics include consumer and producer theory, choice under uncertainty and an introduction to game theory. 

The second part introduces the linear regression model and develops associated tools. Properties of the ordinary least squares estimator will be studied in detail and a number of tests developed. 
  • ECO 520/POL 577: Economics and Politics Focused on analytical models of political institutions, this course is organized around canonical models and their applications. These include: voting models, menu auctions, models of reputation and cheap talk games. These models are used to explain patterns of participation in elections, institutions of congress, lobbying, payments to special interest groups and other observed phenomena. 
  • ECO 521: Advanced Macroeconomic Theory I Topics vary from year to year, reflecting current developments and the instructor's interests. Topics covered in past years have included methods of numerical analysis and econometric testing of equilibrium business cycle models, the role of monetary and fiscal policy in inflation determination, the nature of optimal monetary policy, dynamic games and time consistency in macroeconomic policy formation, central banking, and the theories of price stickiness. 

Thomas C. Owen

Thomas C. Owen (PhD in history, Harvard, 1973) is an Associate of the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, Harvard University (since 2005) and a former professor of history at Louisiana State University (1974-2005). He became interested in Russian social history as a graduate student at Harvard, and he wrote his doctoral dissertation on the social and ideological evolution of the Moscow merchants, 1840-70 ( The social and ideological evolution of the Moscow merchants, 1840-1870, HOLLIS Number : 003894231 ). His collection of materials on Russian social and economic history after 1800 began in 1971, when he, then a PhD student seeking primary sources for his research, purchased from the Lenin Library (Moscow) a microfilm of the 1850-73 portion of Fedor V. Chizhov's diary which was relevant to the dissertation.

After the publication of his first book, on the Moscow merchants in 1981 ( Capitalism and politics in Russia : a social history of the Moscow merchants, 1855-1905 , HOLLIS Number : 000949332 ), Owen widened the scope of his research to include corporations and business organizations throughout the Russian Empire. He continued his study of primary materials during subsequent visits to Moscow again in 1980, 1992, and 1996. Gaining access to and obtaining copies of the desired materials often meant facing challenges that were unusual for a Western researcher, as well as seeking the help of American library professionals. Thus, Marianna Tax Choldin, of the University of Illinois Library, was instrumental in helping Owen obtain the microfilm copies of Chizhov’s diary (the 1825-50 and 1873-77 portions) from the Lenin Library. Eventually, Fedor V. Chizhov became the subject of Thomas C. Owen's fourth book ( Dilemmas of Russian capitalism : Fedor Chizhov and corporate enterprise in the railroad age , HOLLIS Number : 009439804 )
