We begin research seminar sessions in which you are expected to participate explaining why you chose the topic and your current thinking and findings about it.  Beginning on March 24 I will shuffle the groups so that Micro meets Macro and a new audience will be available for feedback.  Papers must be referentially linked to the required text ‘Blaug’.  And it MUST be about the history of your chosen economic thought.  Final papers are due March 31, 2006 by email - h-chartrand@shaw.ca.

 

The seminars will run March 17, 20, 22, 24, 27 & 29.  Beginning March 31 through the end of term we will review questions on the final examination.

 

OTHER STUDENTS MUST SUBMIT A TOPIC FOR APPROVAL -  ASAP.
