Revision as of 23:18, January 31, 2010
Coase Theorem
Lecture 18. In fact, it would appear as if no theorists, regardless of ideological stripe, are mentioned in the syllabus--the syllabus only lays out the broad-strokes version of the concepts that each lecture addresses, not the way in which those ideas will be presented or thought about. AlexWD 11:15, 31 January 2010 (EST)
"only mentions it in a narrow, understated manner..."
Andy--have you read the whole set of notes? EVERYTHING pretty much gets mentioned in a "a narrow, understated manner." The notes are very obviously outlines, and not transcripts of a lecture--moreover, this is obviously an introductory/survey-level course where the goal is quite obviously to introduce studnets to the broad ideas--not to give an in-depth analysis of any one economic idea. AlexWD 16:12, 31 January 2010 (EST)
- You're right that the notes are merely outlines, rather than lectures. I'll make that point next. But what the notes do say about the Coase theorem is a very narrow view of it.--Andy Schlafly 16:55, 31 January 2010 (EST)
For a liberal course on economics...
...you'd figure they'd mention Keynes at least once They don't. AlexWD 16:53, 31 January 2010 (EST)
- No, not in a course on microeconomics. Check out MIT's course on macroeconomics and I'm sure it worships Keynes.--Andy Schlafly 16:56, 31 January 2010 (EST)
- I count at least 4 citations in the reading assignments for 12-452 Spring 2007.--Andy Schlafly 17:15, 31 January 2010 (EST)
Yeah well, apples and oranges. The course you're picking on for not having enough Coase is "14.01 Principles of Microeconomics." 14-452 (not 12, as you wrote), is a course on Macroeconomic Theory--and quite obviously at a more advanced and in-depth level. AlexWD 18:11, 31 January 2010 (EST)
syllabus does repeatedly mention liberal theories,
Which ones? AlexWD 16:56, 31 January 2010 (EST)
- Market failure, government, taxes, etc.--Andy Schlafly 17:12, 31 January 2010 (EST)
- Those aren't principals or theories, those are THINGS THAT EXIST IN REALITY. Theories would be IDEAS about those objective phenomena. What are you, simple or something? 18:05, 31 January 2010 (EST)
