Contemporary Economic Policy Issues
ID :
1100
« back to classes page
Economics plays a central role in the functioning of every aspect of society, primarily through federal, state, and local government actions. We will explore prominent policy issues with economics at their core, including their origins as policy matters, the underlying data and evidence, and what policy levers are available to deal with them. The focus will be on what the economics profession understands to be true about each issue. We will begin with a lecture on the overall U.S. economy, followed by standalone presentations on selected topics by subject-matter experts. Potential topics include climate change, healthcare, economic inequality, autonomous vehicles, and many more. The topics presented will be determined by what issues are most pressing at that time.
