The class is taught in English and will examine Taiwan’s economic development from about 1860 to the present. During the first class, I will offer an overview of Taiwan’s economic growth since the late-19th century. The course will then be organized topically. We will start by examining Taiwan’s important crops (tea, sugar and rice) and how these affected Taiwan’s economic development from roughly 1860-1970. Then we will briefly look at the development of Taiwan’s natural resources. Finally we will consider Taiwan’s rise as a manufacturing power. We will start with a look at Taiwan’s first labor-intensive manufactured export, woven hats, which were produced and exported in the pre-war era, but then mainly focus on Taiwan’s post-war export boom and its modern growth. There will be seven groups projects based on the readings listed below and a short individual project based on analyzing Taiwan’s post-war economic statistics. When you finish this course, you should have a much better idea how Taiwan rose from poverty to relative prosperity College of Social Sciences Main Campus No prerequisites. There will be a lot of statistics but no mathematical modeling.

This course explores the ways in which firm strategy affects, and is affected by, how markets “work.” Understanding this interplay is crucial for those interested in management, public policy, consulting, antitrust law, as well as those generally curious about why certain products are (or are not) available and why it is that firms behave the way they do. This course will explore this “interplay” using a mixture of theoretical models and empirical tools with a heavy emphasis on real-world applicability of what we learn. This course surveys empirical research in industrial organization (IO), with a focus on statistical and game‐theoretic models. The goal of the course is to a) raise students’ awareness of what people care about in different industries or market structures, and b) stimulate new research interests. By the end of the course, students should be familiar with the key issues and approaches in empirical IO, the strengths of these research streams, and the opportunities to apply/extend them.

Public finance is the field of economics concerned with government expenditure and revenue. It examines both why and how governments should or should not intervene in markets. “How should the government tax people?”, “Who bears the burden of a tax?”, or “How can government spending alleviate poverty?” are exemplary questions public finance tries to answer in a rigorous way. The course provides students with a formal framework in which such questions can be addressed. Topics include: public goods and externalities, optimal taxation, tax incidence, health insurance, and social security. http://www.trembling-hand.com/courses/ The course enables students to understand and form opinions about questions of public finance in a systematic manner. At the end of the course, students will know the tools and models to analyze the role of the government in economics. College of Social Sciences Main Campus Students should have completed Microeconomics II before enrolling in this class.
