ECON 437

Political Economy

ECON 437 applies formal economic tools to politics itself, treating elections, legislatures, and policy choices as outcomes of strategic behavior by voters and politicians rather than as fixed institutional backdrops. You'll work through the core theorems on collective choice and median-voter dynamics, then move into empirical papers that test these models, with four problem sets, a midterm, and an essay-style final assessing both the modeling and the econometric identification side. It sits at the intersection of micro theory and applied econometrics, so it pays off most if you've already absorbed game theory and a serious metrics course and want to see how the two combine on real political data.
