| Course Section Number: | ECO-277-03 |
| Department: | Economics |
| Description: | This class will investigate the social phenomena of crisis and response through the analytical tool kit of political economy. Students will learn a variety of theoretical approaches and apply them to understand and explain historic and contemporary trends in how communities endure and react to different forms of crisis. Theoretical approaches will include rational and strategic decision making, public goods theory, bureaucratic incentives, comparative institutional analysis, and industrial organization. Key applied topics covered during the semester will include business cycles of recession and depression, war and military conflicts, natural disasters and pandemics. Students will investigate how the different spheres of institutional decision-making in society (political, economic and socio-cultural) are each affected by, interact, and react to crisis. Students who want this to count as ECO, should sign up under the ECO number. Students who want this to count towards PPE, should sign up under the PPE number. |
