1 Professor Nancy Brooks 217 Sibley Hall phone: blackboard site: blackboard.cornell.edu. CRP 4040/5040 and ECON 3855: Urban Economics Spring 2017 My Office Hours: Mondays 12:30-2:00 and Wednesdays 2:00-3:30. In addition, Rhiannon Jerch will serve as the teaching assistant for this course and will also be available for office hours. Her office hours will be posted on blackboard soon. Course Description: This course introduces students to the concepts, methods and the core models used by economists to study not only cities, towns and regions and their relationships with each other, but, more generally, the interesting spatial aspects and spatial outcomes of decision-making by households and firms. The course will examine the determinants of the characteristics and structure of urban and regional areas (both intra-urban and inter-urban), and consider the causes and consequences of city, suburban and regional development, growth, and decline. We will discuss how issues related to poverty, housing, transportation and education are closely intertwined with the spatial decisions of households and firms. An important component of this course will be the study of the impact and relationship of local, state and federal government tax, spending and land-use policies on urban and regional economies. Urban economics, in this course, will be defined broadly to include some aspects of the related fields of regional economics, real estate economics and economic geography. Learning objectives: This course, as is true in most economics courses, emphasizes both the learning of key concepts and the development of analytical problem-solving skills. General urban planning knowledge covered in this course includes understanding the growth and development of places over time and their location across space. Quantitative and qualitative methods will be used to help us model urban and regional spatial structure and spatial decision-making. Social Justice, governance issues, and growth and development will be included in our discussions of the spatial components of poverty, housing, inequality in education, and urban and regional growth and development. Prerequisites: Urban economics is a field of study within microeconomics. Consequently, a prior course in microeconomics (including CRP 5120 or CRP 5122) is required. Textbook: O Sullivan, Arthur (2012) Urban Economics, McGraw-Hill Irwin, 8 th edition. (A used copy of an earlier edition is probably fine but you will need to check chapter numbers as they may not match those listed on the syllabus.) The additional readings listed below will all be posted on the course blackboard website. In addition, I have put some books on reserve in case you are interested in reading more of the book than the assigned chapters. The books on reserve in the Fine Arts Library are:
2 1. O Sullivan, Arthur (2012) Urban Economics 2. Glaeser, Edward (2011) Triumph of the City 3. McDonald, John and Daniel McMillen (2011) Urban Economics and Real Estate 4. Brooks, Nancy, et. al., (2012) Oxford Handbook of Urban Economics and Planning 5. Breuckner, Jan (2011) Lectures on Urban Economics 6. Krugman, Paul (1991) Geography and Trade 7. McCann, Philip (2013) Modern Urban and Regional Economics 8. O Flaherty, Brendan (2005) City Economics Finally, the optional book-length readings listed below tend to be books that cover interesting historical events, innovations or policies that have significant economic geography and urban economic implications. These optional book-length readings are all excellent books (some of my all-time favorites). If you don t get a chance to read them over the semester you could consider putting them on your summer reading list. Course Requirements and Evaluation: Problem Sets Problem sets will be assigned roughly every other week. There will be between 5 and 7 problem sets this semester. You are welcome to work together in study groups on any problem set, and you will also have at least 1 week to complete the assignment 40%. Midterm A midterm exam will be posted to blackboard on Thursday, March 16 and will be due by the beginning of class on Tuesday, March 21 30% Final Exam The final exam will be posted on the last day of class and due on Tuesday, May 16 no later than 4:00 pm -30%. Both the midterm and the final exams are take-home exams. Academic Integrity Each student in this course is expected to abide by the Cornell University Code of Academic Integrity. Any work submitted by a student in this course for academic credit will be the student s own work, except for group work that is clearly labeled as such on the course assignments. In this course, only problem sets can be submitted as group work, but, even in this case, every student is expected to have answered each question. Problem sets are an opportunity to practice and learn with the support of your peers. They are not an opportunity to free ride on the effort of others. Accommodations for students with disabilities In compliance with the Cornell University policy and equal access laws, I am available to discuss appropriate academic accommodations that may be required for students with disabilities. Requests for academic accommodations are to be made during the first three weeks of the semester, except for unusual circumstances, so arrangements can be made.
