Course Syllabus
Abstract
We will cover concepts of supply and demand, consumer behavior, and production theory in order to understand individuals' incentives to invest in education, an economic interpretation of how schools function, and the role of government intervention in the provision of education. We will emphasize how to use data to test economic theory and to predict the effects of policy initiatives. Among the topics we will cover are returns to educational attainment, the importance of school resources in determining academic achievement, school choice, teacher labor markets, and educational finance. This course has no prerequisites.
Learning Objectives
- The overall goal of this course is to introduce you to the economic analysis of education. Specifically, the course is intended to help you become knowledgeable in five major areas: 1. How economists define the “problematic” of education. 2. The concept of education as an investment (human capital), measuring the value of that investment, and how education contributes to economic growth and income distribution. 3. Teacher labor markets and teacher “value” in the educational process. 4. Schools as places of production and the economics of the education production process. 5. Education as a public and private investment good and the implications for educational finance in both K-12 and higher education.
