<font size="-1">Once again, the economics department's course offerings will include an economics elective next summer in Berlin, Germany. The course, <a href="http://fmwww.bc.edu/EC-C/U2012/368/ec368.u2012.php">EC368: Economic Policy Analysis from a European Perspective</a> is offered through the university's <a href="http://www.bc.edu/international">Office of International Programs</a> (OIP), in conjunction with the prestigious German economic research institute <a href="http://diw.de/en">DIW Berlin</a>. It is cross-listed as IN 368 for students in the <a href="http://www.bc.edu/schools/cas/isp/home.html">International Studies</a> program. The course was first offered in Summer 2011, and was very well received by participants. The three-credit-hour course will be held over a 3.5-week period, starting in Commencement week, and will feature presentations by economic researchers from DIW Berlin combined with lectures on economic policy analysis, as well as several cultural opportunities in Germany's capital.  Assoc. Prof. <a href="/ec/baum.php">Christopher F Baum</a>, who is also a DIW Research Professor, is leading the course. Enrollment to the seminar is now closed. <!--Interested students should contact the OIP as soon as possible, as the OIP Summer Seminars operate on a rolling admission basis.--></p>
