Prerequisite(s): ECO 3010, ECO 3020, and ECO 3150. A grade of “C-” or better is required for all prerequisites.

Description: This course will expose students to the tools of basic public sector analysis, and then apply these tools to a specific field of economics, such as Health, Education or Politics. Then the course will describe the research process in economics, from the proposing of ideas through literature review, data analysis, drafting, and editing. Students in this course will write a major paper under the supervision of a faculty member and then prepare and deliver an oral presentation on its findings. This paper and presentation are meant to be a capstone experience that synthesizes the student’s prior learning and applies it to an economic question.
