This course covers the structure of probability theory and provides many examples of the use of probabilistic reasoning. It discusses hypothesis testing among the realtionship among (economic) variables. Prerequisite: second-year standing in MMSS.
386-1 focuses on the multi-variate linear regression model, covering both economic theory and applications. 386-2 Intented to be an applied class using econometrics in writing empirical papers. Topics covered include time series, applied regression and instrumental variable analysis, discrete dependent variables, panel data, and treatment effect methods. Prerequisite: second-year standing in MMSS.

A fast-paced mathematical treatment of intermediate microeconomics designed for mathematically sophisticated students. No previous training in microeconomics is assumed. Topics covered include consumer and producer behavior in market economies, equilibrium in competitive and monopolistic markets, public goods and externalities, and welfare analysis.
The first course of the two quarter MMSS game theory sequence. It covers static and dynamic games of complete information and evolutionary game theory. It considers examples drawn from economics and the other social sciences.
This course provides an introduction to positive political theory and describes how formal methods may be used to analyze politics and political institutions. Topics covered include preference aggregation, social choice, voting theory, and executive legislative relations. A goal of the course is to demonstrate how formal models and methods can be applied to questions of substantive interest. The course emphasizes the identification of relevant questions worthy of investigation, and the intuition behind models and methods.
