This course is designed to familiarize students with the theoretical and empirical approaches to demographic topics from an economic perspective. Theoretical techniques will include cost-benefit analysis and models of utility maximization. Regression techniques and modifications to account for endogeneity make up the empirical focus of the course. These methods will be applied to the economics of marriage and divorce, fertility, and migration. Class time will be spent on introductory lectures describing theoretical models and empirical methods and discussions of applications of these methods in journal articles. Students will have an opportunity to discuss their own research ideas in class and gain an understanding of how economics might inform their research question.
