COURSE DETAILS
This course is an introduction to Political Economy, broadly conceived. It emphasises the importance of the social institutions in which economic and political behaviour is embedded. In addition to key empirical studies, the course devotes considerable time to techniques for modelling culture, identity, religion, and other social institutions. The aim is to get students to the frontier of research in Political Economy through an overview of the literature, coverage of formal modelling techniques, and an introduction to empirical and computational methods.
