ECON-486 Topics in Political Economy
Spring only
This particular "Topics in PE" course concerns the nature of special interest politics. Specifically, it examines current research on models of special interest groups, their formation, activities, and effect on the policy process. To provide focus, most of the material that forms the basis for discussion will come from the new book, Special Interest Politics, by two leaders in the field, Gene Grossman and Elhanan Helpman. Note: this course is not intended as a broad, introductory course. Rather, it is intended primarily for students who plan research-intensive careers in economics or in a related field. Fall.
