About the Department 

 Since its founing in 1925, the stuents an faculty of the Department of Economics (incluing numerous Nobel laureates) have avance the worl’s unerstaning of society by extening economic analysis to new spheres of social life, spearheaing the stuy of ieas ranging from economic growth to human capital. Over the ecaes, numerous new ieas in the fiel of economics emerge from the University of Chicago, incluing the economic theory of socialism, the economics of the househol, the rationality of peasants in poor countries, the economics of eucation an other acquire skills (human capital), the economics of information, an the monetary approach to international finance. The unifying threa? The conviction that economics is a powerful tool for unerstaning society. 

 MAPSS/Economics Concentration 

 Grauate stuy in the Department of Economics is intensely mathematical. Prospective stuents who eclare Economics as their primary fiel must have prior exposure to real analysis, econometrics, an avance coursework in multivariable calculus, linear algebra, probability, an statistics. A soli founation in micro an macroeconomics is strongly preferre. Stuents amitte to the MAPSS/Economics concentration will receive a separate letter of amission. Only those persons are eligible to work with a member of the Economics faculty on the MA thesis. To preserve that eligibility, they must also: Complete the octoral math camp the Department offers in late August/early September. Complete two of the following three courses in the Fall Quarter, achieving a minimum grae of B+ in each: Price Theory (Econ 30100), Theory of Income (Econ 33000), Empirical Analysis (Econ 31000). Achieve a minimum grae of B in subsequent grauate courses in the Department. Stuents will be supporte in their course selections, choice of faculty avisor, an MA thesis by Victor Lima, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics, an by Min Sok Lee, Lecturer in the Department of Economics. International stuents who grauate from our MAPSS/Economics Concentration are eligible for three years of work authorization in the US, as a STEM-approve fiel of stuy. Stuents who fin grauate work in the Department beyon their mathematical reach may fin more accessible alternatives in the Harris School of Public Policy, in the Booth School of Business, in Political Science, an occasionally in Sociology, Law, or History. 

 Sample Courses 

 ECON 30100. Price Theory. (Kevin Murphy) Theory of consumer choice, incluing househol prouction, inirect utility, an heonic inices. Moels of the firm. Analysis of factor eman an prouct supply uner competitive an monopolistic conitions. Static an ynamic cost curves, incluing learning by oing an temporary changes. Uncertainty applie to consumer an proucer choices. Property rights an the effects of laws. Investment in human an physical capital. ECON 30501. Topics in Theoretical Economics. (Philip Reny) Some of the topics covere in this course are: Nash equilibrium existence in iscontinuous games, existence of monotone pure strategy equilibria in Bayseian games, efining sequential equilibrium in infinite extensive form games, efficient auction esign, correlate information an mechanism esign. ECON 31000. Empirical Analysis-1. (Azeem Shaikh) This course introuces stuents to the key tools of econometric analysis: basic asymptotic theory, incluing convergence in probability, convergence in istribution, laws of large numbers, continuous mapping theorems, central limit theorems, an the elta metho; conitional expectation; applications to linear regression, instrumental variables, maximum likelihoo, an extremum estimators. ECON 33000. The Theory of Income. (Fernano Alvarez) This course formulates an analyzes aggregate general equilibrium moels to stuy classical questions in macroeconomics. The course starts with the formulation an analysis of competitive equilibrium in the general equilibrium moels, incluing the 1st an 2n welfare theorem. The first applications of this moel are: social security (using an OLEG moel), optimal risk sharing, an asset pricing (using a one perio moel with uncertainty). Most of the remaining applications focus on ynamic moels without uncertainty. To o so we stuy tools to characterize optimal solutions of control problems: Hamiltonian, calculus of variations an ynamic programming. The main application of these tools is the neoclassical growth moel in many variations: eterminants of steay state an balance growth path, enogenous growth, effect of variable labor supply, TFP changes an of investment specific technical progress, habit formation, the q-moel of investment, taxation of capital an labor, optimal taxation a la Ramsey, among others. ECON 33603. Macroeconomics an Financial Frictions. (Haral Uhlig) This course investigates the interrelationship between financial markets an macroeconomics, presenting some recent evelopments in that literature. We start from a log-linearize perspective on asset pricing an macroeconomic ynamics. We exten these tools to long-run risk an Epstein-Zin preferences. We iscuss higher moments an large isasters. Next we turn to moels of systemic risk as well as DSGE moels incorporating a financial sector an house price booms an busts. Finally, we turn to sovereign ebt crises. We will learn about tools to analyze stochastic ynamic general equilibrium moels, such as Dynare. ECON 34901. Social Interactions an Inequality. This course will focus on the theory, econometrics, an empirical analysis of social influences on economic behavior, terme social interactions. As such, the course will inclue topics ranging from social networks to social capital to iscrimination. We will examine the effects of social interactions on iniviual an aggregate behaviors as well as the implications of social interactions for the formation of social structure. Particular attention will be given to the translation of theoretical moels into econometric analogs an to the ientification questions that arise when attempting to construct empirical evience on social interactions. Applications of social interactions will focus on contexts in which their presence can help explain observe levels of socioeconomic inequality. ECON 36101. Economic Moels of Politics. (Roger Myerson an Richar Van Weelen) This course is an introuction to current research in political economics. The emphasis is on game-theoretic moels that can be use to stuy the effects of ifferent constitutional structures on the competitive behavior of politicians an the welfare-relevant performance of government.
