ECON 2450A: Public Economics and Fiscal Policy I

Hello! Very glad you are interested in this class! I am Stefanie Stantcheva: sstantcheva@fas.harvard.edu and our great
teaching assistant is Konstantin Poensgen: konstantinpoensgen@fas.harvard.edu

Class time: The class meets Mondays and Wednesdays 12:00-1:15 pm in Emerson 210.
 

Course content: This is a graduate course in public economics, intended primarily for
graduate students in the Department of Economics and those in the Business Economics and
PEG programs. Other students with preparation in microeconomic theory and econometrics
can inquire with me whether the course is suitable for them. The course will cover core
topics in the field of public economics, through a combination of theoretical models and
empirical work. We will cover classical work, as well as new, frontier research.

Here is the Syllabus.
