PHDBA602 (Innovation Models)

PHDBA602 is a (for credit) Directed Studies course, that doctoral students can use to develop their own courses with a professor. This page provides information about a directed study course with Michael Katz on that centers arounds economic models of innovation.

Format

The format is:

• One, perhaps two, models per class
• One class per week, with a timeslot TBD.
• The student will write up the model ahead of time (on this wiki)
• The class will be used to:
  • Discuss intricacies of the model
  • Discuss modelling choices, with a view to helping the student understand how to build models
  • Place the model in the context of the broader literature

Papers

A first attempt at a paper list will be made shortly.
