IP601 – Public Sector Economics and the Global Economy

In September 2021, I am excited to return to teaching in the Master’s in International Public Policy program at the Balsillie School of International Affairs. From 2008 through 2015, I regularly taught IP631 and IP634, two courses in the Human Security stream in the program.

This year, I am teaching the core economics course in the first term of the one-year program, IP601. The course has four parts, with each being roughly 3 weeks long.

  1. Economics as a framework for analysis.
  2. Microeconomic policy.
  3. Macroeconomic policy.
  4. Applications to international policy.

The exact structures of the course will depend on the development of health and safety protocols over the next few months – once those details are worked out, I will post a course outline here (and on the Laurier MyLearningSpace page).
