This seminar serves as the capstone course for the economics minor. Current issues and applications in areas such as behavioral, experimental, urban, public, labor and health economics will be introduced.

The project will involve developing a research question, collecting and analyzing data, and providing recommendations. Students should take this course as the final course in their minor if possible. Offered alternate spring semesters. Prerequisites: EC 201 and EC 202.
