Special permission from the instructor is required for undergraduates wishing to take these courses. All 500-level and above economics courses are graduate-level courses.The remaining five 4-credit principal courses are to be chosen from CAS EC 320 through EC 599.*QST QM 221 Probabilistic and Statistical Decision Making for Management, or CAS MA 115, or CAS MA 213 are acceptable substitutes for CAS EC 203. Students must fulfill the calculus requirement for the major, as described below, prior to enrolling in CAS EC 201 or EC 303. Students with a strong background and skills in mathematics may substitute the sequence CAS EC 303/304 for the required sequence CAS EC 203/204. CAS EC 204 Empirical Economics 2 (4 cr)ĬAS EC 201, EC 202, EC 203, and EC 204 should be taken before the senior year.CAS EC 203 Empirical Economics 1* (4 cr).CAS EC 202 Intermediate Macroeconomic Analysis (4 cr).CAS EC 201 Intermediate Microeconomic Analysis (4 cr).Nine courses with grades of C or higher, four of which must be:.CAS EC 102 Introductory Macroeconomic Analysis (4 cr).CAS EC 101 Introductory Microeconomic Analysis (4 cr).Remaining BU Hub requirements will be satisfied by selecting from a wide range of available courses outside the major or, in some cases, cocurricular experiences. Students majoring in Economics will ordinarily, through coursework in the major, satisfy BU Hub requirements in Social Inquiry, Quantitative Reasoning, and some of the Intellectual Toolkit. BU Hub requirements are flexible and can be satisfied in many different ways, through coursework in and beyond the major (or minor) and, in some cases, through cocurricular activities. Locate the necessary data to analyze and evaluate world events, and analyze data using appropriate econometric methods.Īll first-year, first-time students will pursue coursework in the BU Hub, a general education program that is integrated into the entire undergraduate experience.Demonstrate focused expertise in one or more areas of economics.Understand economic theory, both microeconomic and macroeconomic, and be able to apply these models to evaluate policies and real-world events.In addition to rigorous training in both theory and econometrics, students have room in their program to choose electives in economics fitting their likely targets of interest, ranging from financial economics to labor market analysis to development economics, and many more. The major in Economics provides students with a firm understanding of core microeconomic and macroeconomic theory while at the same time providing the empirical skills that are essential to applying economic reasoning in our increasingly data-driven world. Our "effort-tree" is still growing, and we hope the current and future fruits will promote open-science and contribute to neuroscience research of marmosets.For contact information, please visit the Department of Economics website. Via this website, we would like to share all of our fruits, including raw data, to the research community. These efforts resulted in useful atlases and tools for the marmoset research and valuable MRI data that can be of interests to researchers who are in the MRI research field. We are making significant progress during these years, not only in developing atlases for mapping the marmoset brain, but also in pushing the resolution limit of non-human primate MRI. David Leopold's lab (NIMH/NIH): David Leopold, and Frank Ye Afonso Silva's lab (NINDS/NIH): Afonso Silva, John Newman, Cecil Yen, Diego Szczupak, and Xiaoguang Tian With supports and helps from multiple labs and teams, including Marmoset brain atlases and tools to facilitate neuroimaging and translational studies. The Marmoset Brain Mapping Project was launched in Nov.
