" The seminar is designed to provide advanced graduate students with a thorough understanding of selected regional economic theories and techniques and with experience in using alternative socioeconomic impact assessment models and related regional techniques on microcomputers. Discussions will be held on particular theoretical modeling and economic issues; linkages among theories, accounts, and policies; relationships between national and regional economic structures; and methods of adjusting and estimating regional input-output accounts and tables. Examples from the Boston area and other U.S. cities/regions will be used to illustrate points throughout the seminar. We will also examine how such models are used in other countries. New material on analyzing regional development issues will be covered."

By the end of this section, you will be able to:Discuss the importance of studying economicsExplain the relationship between production and division of laborEvaluate the significance of scarcity

This course provides an in-depth technical and policy analysis of various options for the nuclear fuel cycle. Topics include uranium supply, enrichment fuel fabrication, in-core physics and fuel management of uranium, thorium and other fuel types, reprocessing and waste disposal. Also covered are the principles of fuel cycle economics and the applied reactor physics of both contemporary and proposed thermal and fast reactors. Nonproliferation aspects, disposal of excess weapons plutonium, and transmutation of actinides and selected fission products in spent fuel are examined. Several state-of-the-art computer programs are provided for student use in problem sets and term papers.

The course provides a survey of the theory and application of time series methods in econometrics. Topics covered will include univariate stationary and non-stationary models, vector autoregressions, frequency domain methods, models for estimation and inference in persistent time series, and structural breaks.

We will cover different methods of estimation and inferences of modern dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models (DSGE): simulated method of moments, Maximum likelihood and Bayesian approach. The empirical applications in the course will be drawn primarily from macroeconomics.

What is economics and why should you spend your time learning it? After all, there are other disciplines you could be studying, and other ways you could be spending your time. As the Bring it Home feature just mentioned, making choices is at the heart of what economists study, and your decision to take this course is as much an economic decision as anything else.

Economics is probably not what you think it is. It is not primarily about money or finance. It is not primarily about business. It is not mathematics. What is it then? It is both a subject area and a way of viewing the world.

The Macroeconomics digital course enhancements is a comprehensive, open-access resource for economics instructors to adopt in whole or in part, and is designed to support flexibility for faculty and students. The content areas are divided into modules for ease of navigation or partial adoption as needed. We don’t have a required textbook even if we often refer to chapters in the OpenStax’s Principle of Macroeconomics. In addition, we provide suggestions for student activities and deliverables for each topic within the modules as well as reference videos and articles.
For the novice instructor, you will find an organized course structure highlighting key content areas and suggested activities. We provide various classroom activities so that instructors can pick and choose. For the new-to-online, this course offers a structure to follow and suggestions for engagement that can easily be adapted to online delivery. For the experienced faculty, our goal was to provide new ideas, engagement activities, and links to resources that could be shared with students seeking additional support. We’ve also curated additional resources that are open access and may be beneficial to instructors as supplemental materials.
In the course materials, we have included discussion prompt options, homework and activities, and quiz and exam. Below is a summary of each resource and how we envisioned use of these materials.
We provide extensive discussion prompt options that could be used in the classroom, in virtual class sessions, or as discussion board posts. We encourage instructors to consider these discussion prompts for online courses to enhance student engagement and provide a sense of community. They also lend themselves to deeper learning and application of the material.
In each module, we provide homework assignments including multiple choice questions, short-answer questions, exercises and problems. Most open source textbooks offer practice questions and a test bank so that you can easily adopt. Classroom activities could be graded or ungraded and provide students the opportunity to practice with the material.
Another suggestion to increase collaboration and engagement in the course is to have students use Google Docs or another collaborative tool to provide a test or quiz question related to the topics. Students could work in small groups to develop questions and earn participation or extra credit points for submitting accurate questions. This could even be developed into a competition between groups. This is one option for building a robust and unpublished source for quiz or exam questions. We suggest selecting a few of the top questions for quizzes or exams.
This Macroeconomics resource is intended to provide flexible adoption options for instructors. Instructors may use all of the materials in the modules or select what is most appropriate to enhance existing course materials. We hope this is a useful tool for economics instructors regardless of expertise level.

For the past 70 years, scientists in Britain have been studying thousands of children through their lives to find out why some end up happy and healthy while others struggle. It's the longest-running study of human development in the world, and it's produced some of the best-studied people on the planet while changing the way we live, learn and parent. Reviewing this remarkable research, science journalist Helen Pearson shares some important findings and simple truths about life and good parenting. Duration: 12:17.

Instruction and practice in oral and written communication. Topic for Fall: Ethical Interpretation. Topic for Spring: Women Reading, Women Writing.

Bu kitabı, benzer diğer yayınlardan ayıran temel özellikleri; Anadolu’nun nispeten daha az gelişmiş, gelir dağılımından daha az pay alan şehirleri özelinde düzenlenen örnek ve ender akademik etkinliklerden birinin; uygulamalı bir akademik çalışmanın sonuçlarını raporlaştırması, kalıcı bir yayına dönüştürmesi ve yine bu sonuçları ildeki, ülkedeki ilgili kurum ve kuruluşlar ile paylaşılacak kalıcı bir eser haline getirmeyi amaçlamasıdır. Kitap, bu doğrultuda, küçük Anadolu şehirlerinin kalkınması konusu özelinde bir referans yayın haline gelmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Google translation: The main features that distinguish this book from other similar publications are; One of the exemplary and rare academic events organized specifically for the relatively less developed cities of Anatolia, which have a lesser share of income distribution; It aims to report the results of an applied academic study, to turn it into a permanent publication and to make these results a permanent work to be shared with the relevant institutions and organizations in the province and country. In this direction, the book aims to become a reference publication on the development of small Anatolian cities.
