The following
is a tentative program and is subject to change. It will be updated
frequently as new information is available.
Unless stated otherwise, the
class will meet three to three-and-a-half hours each morning from
Monday to Friday, August 13 - 31, 2007. The class will begin at 9:00
am, sharp, and the first lecture will end at 10:30 am, followed by a
break of 15 minutes. The second lecture of the day will begin at
10:45 am and end at 12:15 pm.
The afternoons are time for
the students to get and read references, and to prepare for a group
paper. The students can get library resources and computer
facilities at various libraries on the campus.
Field trip is usually a
whole day event. Students will wait for the shuttle bus at the
specified time and location, and will be sent back to (usually) the
same location after the field trip.

Note: Field Talks are
lectures on the frontier of some of the economic and BA fields such
as macroeconomics, international economics, finance, international
business, and so on. The actual fields to be covered depend on the
availability of speakers, who need to be experienced and well-known
in each field. So far, Stephen Turnovsky of the University of
Washington and Shin-ichi Fukuda of Tokyo University have agreed to
give talks. We are inviting more speakers for the program.
