Course Description
How does politics affect economic outcomes and how does the economy influence political outcomes in Southeast Asia? This course explores politics from the height of the Cold War in the 1960s until the present. It introduces different approaches to the study of political economy, paying particular attention to regional differences within countries – including resource endowments, social structures, economic policies and investment, labor and migration. While the course covers major themes in the political-economy of Southeast Asia, themes are arranged chronologically, moving from the onset of authoritarian rule in Southeast Asia in the 1960s up to the present. Students have responsibility for preparing data and analysis of country and sub-national case studies for weekly themes. Each week half of the students prepare these case studies. In class, the instructor calls on students randomly to present succinct data and key findings.

Course Description
This course develops the analytical tools to study short-run fluctuations in aggregate economic activities. It emphasizes the micro-foundations of macroeconomics and investigates the determinants of consumption, saving, investment, labor demand and labor supply. We derive the IS-LM and AD-AS frameworks and use these frameworks to understand why the economy goes through booms and busts. The course also discusses different theories of the business cycles, such as the Keynesian and the Real Business Cycle theories. In particular, it examines their assumptions and policy implications for macroeconomic stabilization.
