This is the introductory class for the principles of microeconomics. It serves as an introduction of economics to an audience that are not familiar with Calculus. (Those who have took Calculus should consider taking microeconomics instead.) One interesting feature of this class is there will be various classroom experiments throughout the semester, and students are expected to participate actively in them.

This is a course taught in English, and all assignments are in English. If you feel that you would be in a disadvantaged position, please take other principles classes instead.

The Goal of this class is to introduce how economists think (without the math required for microeconomics), and, help you think like an economist! Specifically, we will see how economists observe real world phenomenon, build simplified models of reality, derive theories to provide policy advice, and test implications with empirical or experimental data.

This class is taught in English. The two semesters are independent and can be taken separately. The first semester deals with early economic history (pre-1900) and focuses primarily on Asia. During this semester we will deal with broad issues concerning how the human race came to dominate the planet using increasingly complex means of cooperation. The second semester covers the 20th-century. The focus will remain primarily on Asia. The second semester will have a more practical orientation. We will primarily discuss what has been causing modern economic growth. Given the broad subject matter, the course will only be able to offer a general overview of the periods and economic regions covered.

The course will meet three hours, one day a week. Generally, the first two hours will be lectures with question & answer periods. Then, the third hour will be devoted to group work. Students will generally be randomly assigned to small groups and required to read one English-language paper or book chapter to prepare for this work. By the end of the class, the group should e-mail me a two page paper. Grades will be based on group work (40%), a midterm quiz (15%) and a final exam (45%). There is no text, but you will be responsible for the weekly readings, lecture material and notes posted on line.

Learn a little about how the world grew more populous and prosperous, and how we investigate this growth. Also, learn to work in small groups with people from other countries.

The goal of this course is to familiarize students with the basic concepts of microeconomics. The target of the course is students majoring in Economics. In the fall semester, our main focus will be theories on producers and consumers in competitive markets. The formal prerequisite is the Principle of Economics. Besides, knowledge of freshman calculus is highly recommended. Professor Elliot Fan will teach the second half of the course in the spring semester to cover topics of the non-competitive market and imperfect markets.

Statistics and Econometrics I and II are designed for Econ major students to fulfill the departmental quantitative analysis requirements, and ECON 2014 Statistics and Econometrics I is the first half of this sequence.

In Statistics and Econometrics I, we will focus on basic probability theory and fundamentals of mathematical statistics, since probability and statistics are important tools to predict economic outcomes under uncertain environments. Some important topics covered in Statistics and Econometrics I are conditional probability, interval estimation, hypothesis testing, and introduction of linear regression. Its objective is to provide students with basic statistical tools and concepts that will help them estimate economic models and do subsequent inferences.

The subject of this course is to introduce East Asia as an integral whole and its development in various aspects at modern times. For the aforementioned purpose, this course is divided into three parts. The first part covers the region’s geography, ethnicity, and civilization to give students general picture of what East Asia is, has been, and should be. The second part discusses the region’s international relations, economic linkages, as well as political, social, and legal development. The third part proceeds in a round-table format, in which the students, on a group basis, debate on two themes, one being political reconciliation and identity construction, and the other the future direction of socio-economic development and civilization.

This course trains students to get acquainted with principle of political economy. Students are expected to develop knowledge about the history and development of political economy of East Asia with the aim to build up macro perspective on the future of the regions integration.

This is a basic course intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students with knowledge of basic biology. Students who are interested in any fields in ecosystem sciences (e.g. ecology, microbial biology, oceanography, and conservation biology) are all welcome. The background for advanced mathematics is not presumed. We will learn basic mathematical methods for analyzing ecological systems with one-species, two-species, and more species. Statistics and computer programming are beyond our focus. The course is designed for hand-on work. We just need ?gpaper-and-pencil?h for learning how to think quantitatively about populations and communities. If necessary, we will also use well-developed software but we do not need skills in computer programming. There will be dedicated time every week for students to do ?gpaper-and-pencil?h exercise. The topics may include:

1. Introduction to theoretical ecology

2. Exponential and logistic population growth

3. Competitive interaction

4. Resource-consumer dynamics

5. Community dynamics and material fluxes

6. Population dynamics in space

7. Community dynamics in space

8. Matrix models for populations and communities
