Economics Concentration Credit for Harvard Summer School 2009

If you are considering taking economics courses at Harvard Summer School in 2009, please check below. The following courses will count toward the economics concentration.

• ECON S-10ab: Principles of Economics will count as Ec 10 (aka Social Analysis 10)
• ECON S-10a: Principles of Economics: Microeconomics will count as the micro semester (fall semester) of Ec 10
• ECON S-10b: Principles of Economics: Macroeconomics will count as the macro semester (spring semester) of Ec 10

• ECON S-1010: Microeconomic Theory will count as Ec 1010a
• ECON S-1012: Macroeconomic Theory will count as Ec 1010b
  Note: The Economics Department can not comment on whether the above courses will meet the Core Social Analysis requirement. Please consult the Core Program.
  
• ECON S-1123: Introduction to Econometrics will count as Ec 1123

The following courses will also count as economics courses for the concentration. The prerequisite for these courses is, in all cases, ECON S-10ab. Therefore these courses can not be used to fulfill the "intermediate theory as prerequisite requirement." If you write a 15+ page economics research paper in any of the courses below, you can bring your graded paper into the advising office next fall and have it evaluated for "writing requirement credit." As long as the paper has substantial economic content and employs primarily an economic methodology, you will get credit. You will need to consult the course syllabi and/or the faculty of the courses to find out if a paper will be required or accepted.

• ECON S-190: Introduction to Managerial Finance
• ECON S-1050: Strategy, Conflict, and Cooperation
• ECON S-1316: Economic Development in India and East Asia
• ECON S-1452: Money, Financial Institutions, and Markets
• ECON S-1530: International Monetary Economics 

IMPORTANT: All other economics courses offered at Harvard Summer School will count as related field courses only.

Finally, STAT S-100: Introduction to Quantitative Methods will fulfill the statistics requirement for the economics concentration. Note, however, that term-time Statistics 100 provides better preparation for Ec 1123. It places greater emphasis on regression.
