PHDBA602 is a (for credit) Directed Studies course, that doctoral students can use to develop their own courses with a professor. This page provides information about a directed study course with Michael Katz on that centers around economic models of innovation.

Format

The format is:

  • One, perhaps two, models per class
  • One class per week, with a timeslot TBD.
  • The student will write up the model ahead of time (on this wiki)
  • The class will be used to:
    • Discuss intricacies of the model
    • Discuss modelling choices, with a view to helping the student understand how to build models
    • Place the model in the context of the broader literature
