Faculty led seminar focusing on graduate student research in various fields of specialization within Economics. Students will typically produce a research draft each quarter. Second year students will be required to produce a formal written proposal for a research paper, which will be evaluated and enforced within the working group structure. Proposal must clearly articulate a research question of interest and the methodological approach. Written proposals must receive a passing grade (B or above) no later than the end of winter quarter of the second year.

Prerequisites: Second year Ph.D. in Economics graduate student standing.

ECON152 . Kuhn P J 9 Months Ago

I loved Kuhn! ECON 152 was by far my favorite (and easiest) econ class I've taken at UCSB. Given 20 free points and the rest of the grade is determined by weekly quizzes (if you go to section then you'll ace them). Kuhn gives you all the materials to succeed. I highly recommend taking his class!

ECON152 . Kuhn P J 2 Years Ago

Peter Kuhn is awesome and a great teacher. I would highly recommend taking any class he teaches. Quizzes/tests will be somewhat challenging but not too difficult. You will definitely learn a lot!

ECON152 . Kuhn P J 3 Years Ago

I wish that all UCSB economics professors were like him. He has a great structure and makes it so that lectures are very well explained and he does a great job explaining every variable in equations when a lot of other professors would just expect you to know leaving you lost. He has pre-recorded lectures and in-class allows you to pick.

ECON152 . Kuhn P J 3 Years Ago

Not sure what he's like in person but zoom university he gives a 30 minute test on Tuesday and then for the other 45 mins of lecture time he will post up to 2.5 hours of recorded lectures. Im not quite sure how that math adds up but id say he's losing it. if you like professors to be normal and give a normal amount of work then wait for in person

ECON152 . Kuhn P J 4 Years Ago

ECON 152 was by far the best/most interesting class I've taken at UCSB. Although attendance is not mandatory, I would highly recommended showing up to his class because the lectures are just that amazing!

ECON152 . Kuhn P J 4 Years Ago

Hardest Econ upper elective class at UCSB. Might as well change the course name to the psychology of economics. Written test based on case studies and countless chapters of slides and memorization. Get ready to remember the names and years of case studies. Excel exams are half based on practice exams and half ridiculously hard problems.
