The economics department's course offerings will include an economics elective next summer in Berlin, Germany. The course, EC368: Economic Policy Analysis from a European Perspective is offered through the university's Office of International Programs (OIP), in conjunction with the German economic research institute DIW Berlin. It is cross-listed as IN 368 for students in the International Studies program. The three-credit-hour course will be held over a three week period, starting Memorial Day, and will feature presentations by economic researchers from DIW Berlin intermingled with lectures on economic policy analysis. Students will also attend a two-day international conference on "The Future Role of Finance", hosted by DIW Berlin and cosponsored by Boston College. Assoc. Prof. Christopher F Baum, who is also a DIW Research Professor, is leading the course. Interested students should contact the OIP before the early February deadline for enrollment.
