Course description: Adam Smith spoke of 'the nature and causes of the wealth of nations,' and started economics on its modern track. The course will explain economic growth, first in northwestern Europe 1700-1900 and then also in recent times in China and India and the rest. The approach will not be through capital theory or through institutional economics, but through 'humanomics.' Humanomics combines basic price theory---lacking in most macro theories of economic growth---with literature, philosophy, theology, social theory, sociology relevant to the economy. The textbooks will be McCloskey's The Applied Theory of Price (1985, available free online at
deirdremccloskey.org), from which graded problem sets will be assigned, and volumes 2 and 3 in McCloskey's recent trilogy on the Great Enrichment, Bourgeois Dignity: Why Economics Can't Explain the Modern World (2010) and Bourgeois Equality: How Ideas, Not Capital or Institutions, Enriched the World (2016) about which short essays will be assigned. The class will require intensive classroom discussion of the arguments, the overall argument being that human creativity, not the routine application of existing knowledge in capital accumulation or incentives through institutions, drives the wealth of nations.

In addition to one-tail, two-tail tests of hypotheses we would also consider Chi-square tests of independence and Analysis of Variance, ANOVA with F-tests.
Thereafter we would go over to correlation & Simple Regression and then to Multiple Linear Regression (OLS) with t-significance, multicollinearity and dummy variables. Our next topic will be time series forecasting with trend and seasonality.
Our last topic will be Logistic Regression, theory and Application.
