Econ 1010: Economics as a Social Science

My favorite feature of this course was designing case studies for students to apply concepts, theories, and analysis over a one-month period.  These case studies were often specific to Utah to provide students with close-to-home applications.

​

For example, we studied how the wild horse population is threatening the ecosystem in Utah deserts because they are non-native species.  This is an excellent application for a Lotke-Volterra predator-prey cycle, which has similarities to the business cycle; the wild horse problem is also an excellent example of a tragedy of the commons.
