• ECON 3000: Intermediate Microeconomics

  3.00 Credits

  Southern Utah University

  
  The purpose of intermediate microeconomics is to explore the basic theories of microeconomics, which are the foundation of many other classes one can take in economics. Consequently, a portion of this course is best described as abstract theory. We will spend a majority of this course discussing the applications of the theories we examine.

• ECON 3210: International Economics and Finance

  3.00 Credits

  Southern Utah University

  
  This class explores broad issues in international trade and shows how related policy choices impact the economy. Students will learn how and why trade benefits the economy as a whole, but can also negatively impact certain groups within the economy. A major focus of the course is on the determinants of currency-exchange rates and the risks business entities face due to fluctuations in exchange rates. Similarly, the class examines the tools companies use to hedge against this risk and describes how basic financial tools can be adjusted to account for exchange-rate expectations and differential tax rates in international project valuation. Because it covers a significant portion of the CFA curriculum, this course is essential for students interested in obtaining the CFA credential.

• ECON 3230: Gender Economics

  3.00 Credits

  Southern Utah University

  
  This course seeks to explain the many roles women play in the economy and how those are different (and similar) to the roles played by men. We begin with the important role inclusiveness plays in the economic growth of a nation. We then move to a discussion of the history and present reality of gender bias. This will be followed by a discussion of the theory of economic discrimination, which will then be applied to the discussion of outcomes observed with respect to education, employment, and wages. The course will then discuss "non-market" outcomes related to the economics of the family. Topics included in this section of the course include marriage and divorce, how household tasks are allocated by women and men, and teen pregnancy.

• ECON 3700: Sports Economics

  3.00 Credits

  Southern Utah University

  
  The study of sports economics is specifically an application of microeconomic theory and empirical analysis. By focusing on sports, students can see how the toolkit of economics can be applied to a subject the student already finds interesting. The study of sports economics also sheds light upon a host of important topics, including how to measure the productivity of a worker, whether or not workers are paid a wage consistent with their economic value, the impact of labor unions, racial discrimination, and the efficacy of public subsidies.
