The Ideal undergraduate training for Economists
Come from "Economics Geek ",
First Year, Semester One:
Principles of Microeconomics;
Math Eco 1 (Calculus);
Math Eco 2 (Linear Algebra);
and Index Numbers in Economics
First Year, Semester Two:
Principles of Macroeconomics;
Math Eco 3 (Differential and Difference Equations);
Math Eco 4 (Vector Calculus);
and Econometrics 1 (Introductory Math Stats).
Second Year, Semester One:
Intermediate Microeconomics;
Math Eco 5 (Real Analysis);
Math Eco 6 (Static Optimisation);
and Econometrics 2 (Principles of Econometrics).
Second Year, Semester Two:
Intermediate Macroeconomics;
Math Eco 7 (Dynamic Optimisation);
Econometrics 3 (Intermediate Econometrics);
and Welfare Economics.
Third Year, Semester One:
Advanced Microeconomics;
Math Eco 8 (Probability Theory)
Econometrics 4 (Advanced Econometrics);
and International Economics.
Third Year, Semester Two:
Advanced Macroeconomics;
Econometrics 5 (Applied Econometrics);
History of Economic Thought 1 (Microeconomics);
and Game Theory.
Fourth Year, Semester One:
Graduate Microeconomic Theory 1;
Graduate Macroeconomic Theory 1;
History of Economic Thought 2 (Macroeconomics);
and Economics Research Project 1.
Fourth Year, Semester Two:
Graduate Microeconomic Theory 2;
Graduate Macroeconomic Theory 2;
History of Economic Thought 3 (Econometrics)
and Economics Research Project 2.
And looking back to my courses taken related to economics:
First Year, Semester One:
Introduction to Economics I (Intro Micro)
Basic Mathematics I (Basic Calculus)
Analysis of Econ Data (Basic Math stats)
First year, Semester Two:
Introduction to Economics II (Intro Macro)
Basic Mathematics II (Calculus and some Linear Algebra)
Second year, Semester One:
Microeconomic Theory
Macroeconomic Theory
Econ of Property Rights
Game Theory
Second year, Semester Two:
Introductory Econometrics
International Trade
History of Economic Thought (Mainly on Neo-Institutional Economics)
Mathematical Methods in Economics
Third year, Semester One:
Labour Economics
Industial Organization
Math Econ
Uncertainty and Information
Antitrust
Third year, Semester Two:
Capital Theory
Auction Theory
Econ of current affairs
Not very far from ideal, but it seems I should put more time on the "hard" skills.
