Description

Description and analysis of gender differences and similarities in behavior and outcomes in the U.S. economy. The course uses microeconomic theories to explain

  • women's and men’s labor force behavior;
  • gender differentials in earnings, education and occupations;
  • discrimination;
  • economic issues related to marriage, divorce, fertility, and mortality;
  • institutional and governmental policies that affect women's and men’s economic behavior and well-being.

Course Requirements:

Grades are based on course attendance/participation, student performance on homework assignments, small-group exercises, quizzes and exams. Exams and quizzes may include small and large essay questions, problems, and multiple-choice questions.

Intended Audience:

Students who have successfully completed at least one course in microeconomics and who are interested in labor and demographic economics and questions about gender.

Class Format:

Students are expected to attend all class meetings in person. Lecture is the predominant instructional method, but students are encouraged to raise questions and are required to participate in periodic structured discussions and group exercises.

Communication: The instructor will hold regular office and will be available via email. Each student should communicate one-on-one with the instructor at least once during the first month of the semester. Students will communicate with classmates in small groups to complete periodic exercises.
