1 Dartmouth College Department of Economics Winter 2002 ECONOMICS 49 TOPICS IN INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS Prof. Nina Pavcnik Office: 319 Rockefeller Phone: Class Web Page: 49 Office Hours: Mondays and Wednesdays: 3:30-5pm Or By Appointment Course Description The course will explore several topics in international economics, with a focus on international trade. We will explore the political economy of trade policy, the debate on openness and growth markets, and the debate on trade and labor markets. We will also study how international trade affects firm behavior such as price-setting, firm turnover, and the decision to enter the export markets. Readings Readings come primarily from academic journals. Copies of the readings are on reserve in a binder at Baker. You can also download some of these readings from the class web page. Krugman and Obstfeld International Economics (which you may have from Economics 29 or 39) is a very useful reference. Requirements You are required to do all the readings for each class, to attend class, and to participate in class discussions. You will be assigned one class for which you will be responsible for leading class discussion. Once you have signed to lead a discussion on a certain date, I regard that as an inviolable contract! When you are not leading class discussion, you will need to turn in the evaluation of the relevant readings at the beginning of the class. You don't need to turn the evaluation of the survey readings (no handwritten answers are accepted). I will provide you with the template questions for the evaluation. If you miss a class, you need to me the evaluation BEFORE the class. Class assignments and participation will count for 40 percent of your grade (20% for leading class discussion, 20% for participation). In addition to class participation assignments, the major requirement for the course is research paper of no more than 15 double-spaced pages of text (not counting references, data, tables, and figures). The paper can address any issue in international trade, but you are highly encouraged to draw from issues covered in the seminar. Over the course of the term, you will choose a topic, compile a reading list, write a literature review, gather data, analyze your data, write a rough
2 draft, present your work, and submit a final draft. Because I don't want anyone to get too far behind, you will need to turn in each of these steps by specified due dates noted on the class schedule. I will give detailed descriptions of what is expected. The research paper (and intermediate steps) will count for 60 % of your grade. X-Hours The X-hour for this class is scheduled for Thursdays 9:00-9:50am (for the class meeting at 9L) and Thursdays 12-12:50 (for the class meeting at 10). See the schedule for the list of X-hours. Some useful resources for your paper: 1. Dartmouth Library Economics librarian: Miles Yoshimura Government publications librarian: John Cocklin You should contact Miles or John if you have questions about the available data or sources for your paper. Miles has compiled a wonderful web site with many links to economics data, economics journals,...: 2. Social Science Computing (SSC) Contact: Chad Ferrigno and student helpers Location: Silsby 26, make sure you visit them during lab hours and make an appointment SSC provides help installing Stata and can answer basic questions about Stata. Students who need help with other computer concerns including other applications, their computer, and the network should seek such help at the Help Desk. Their number is SSC staff can also download ICPSR data for students if the specific data set(s) is identified by the student. An appointment must be scheduled as above. If the student needs assistance with finding data, they will be referred to the library and/or the ICPSR website. 3. Class Web Page ( I have many links to data sources, journals, organizations, international economics news that you might find useful during your project. Useful Economics Links: links to on-line journals, economics resources at Dartmouth, National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), Trade Links: links to U.S. and international institutions, Global Trade Negotiations weekly updates on news about international trade policy, disputes, Data Links: this site should be the starting point when you begin searching for data for your research project 2
