Economics 350: Labor Economics

Summer 2001

Announcements:

I am often requested to make the slides of my lectures available to students in advance. I have done so. However I look over the slides till I go to class and often I feel that adding or changing slides will help me make my point better. As a result all the slides that I use in class may not have been available beforehand. Hence it is important that you take a look at the webpage AFTER class and if necessary print out another set to make sure that you do have all the relevant slides.

Sample Exams:

Here are the exams from Fall 2000, the last time I taught this class. They might be helpful. However please bear in mind that every semester the pace of coverage of material is different. Hence the past exams should not be used as a guide to study for exams during this semester. We may have covered more or less material. The material that you will be tested on for a particular exam will be announced in class and also announced in the Announcements section above.
