The Department of Economics
seeks to provide students with tools,
techniques, and a scientific system of analysis,
which will be valuable to them in their
understanding and appraisal of current economic
issues, the pursuit of graduate work, and a
future career in business, finance, government,
and international organizations. The
department’s goals are to offer an array of
challenging courses in theoretical and applied
economics and finance; encourage
interdisciplinary aspects of economic issues and
policies; and emphasize critical, analytical and
empirical insights, the environmental
responsibility, and global and equitable
perspectives of the economic discipline. The
mission of the Department of Economics is to
prepare students for a reflective, ethical, and
global understanding of economics.

Michael
Dorsch's paper "Bailout for Sale? The Vote
to Save Wall Street" is forthcoming in the
peer-reviewed journal
Public
Choice. The paper contributes to
the theory of political agency by modeling
electoral constraints on legislative
voting as heterogeneous. Further, the
paper uses data on registered campaign
contributions to congressmen in the US
House of Representatives to statistically
prove that congressional voting on the
2008 banking bailout was influenced by
campaign donations from the financial
services industry. On 20 September,
Professor Dorsch's paper "Inefficient
Predation, Information, and Contagious
Political Transitions" was presented by
co-author Paul Maarek at the internal
lunch seminar at Université Cergy-Pontoise.
On 18 October, Michael will be the invited
discussant at the Séminaire Économie
Publique, Institutions & Organisations,
hosted by Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. |
