教學目標
This course will provide students a comprehensive view of how the labor market works. The labor market contains workers and firms, but the outcomes observed are resulted from the interaction of workers, firms, and government. Thus, this course will cover the most recent important issues. Papers will be provided in the class. Students are expected to study the papers in advance. The topics include human capital, labor supply and demand, compensation inequality, mobility, discrimination, contract and incentive theory, and unemployment. A short paper and the presentation of the paper are required for this course. It will be a good exercise for thesis writing in the second year of master program.

教學目標
Econometrics has become an essential tool in data analysis. It has been widely applied to test the economic theories and estimate the association between variables. Advances in econometric theories have contributed to the development of statistical models that allow economists to identify the causal relationship between variables and draw policy implications. To distinguish this course from Econometrics I, the goal of this class is twofold. First, it enhances the knowledge and skills needed to understand empirical economic/business research and to plan and execute empirical projects. The course emphasizes hands-on experience in data wrangling, statistical analyses, and interpretation using either Stata, R, or Python. Second, it goes beyond the ordinary least squares (OLS) and covers models that can be applied to different types of data and variables and establish causal inferences. Topics include sampling distribution, review of multiple regressions, probability models, panel data models, time-series models, instrumental variable approach (2SLS), difference-in-differences, propensity score matching, and discontinuity designs. ****Prerequisite: Statistics I and II, undergraduate Econometrics I (not required but is a plus), or permission of instructor*****

評分標準
在這一個課程中，成績評量的方式包含2次課堂考試 (20%、20%)，實驗參與率(20%)，課堂討論(20%)與課後心得(20%)。 • 課堂考試 所涵蓋的範圍將在考前2周於課堂上宣布。若因各種不可抗力因素導致缺考（不可抗力因素由我主觀判定），我可以為你安排補考。在其他的狀況下，任何的缺考成績以0分計算。 • 實驗參與率 的計算，每缺席一次課堂實驗，扣實驗參與率總分5分，最多扣20分。由於個別的課堂實驗的數據品質必須要求實驗參與者數目一致，因此，遲到的同學將無法參與實驗，必須接受扣分。 • 課堂討論 將帶領你重回實驗的過程，與修課同學分享你在實驗進行過程中的想法，進而比較實驗結果與理性預期的經濟理論，以期對於個體經濟理論有更深的認識。 • 課後心得 在每一個單元結束後，請利用約500-800字的內容，回顧你在該單元課堂實驗中所觀察、歸納出的思考，並且與個體經濟學的課程內容產生連結，總結你在這個單元透過課堂實驗對你的啟發及對於個體經濟理論的認識。另外，你可以對課堂實驗提出進一步的改善建議，使這個課程因為你的投入而變得更加精采。另外，課堂中會隨機抽選數篇課後心得進行分享討論，請各位同學必須同意再修課。

課程內容與進度
本課程為都市經濟學入門課程，目的為以經濟學的方式了解都市經濟的運作方式，以及都市生活的各種面向。本課程首先會討論都市的定義方式，接著討論都市為什麼會在經濟活動中透過群聚效應（agglomeration）自然產生，以及都市間的互動如何形塑整個經濟體系。接下來我們將討論都市的內部結構，這包含了通勤、房地產市場、土地利用、地方性公共財的提供與租稅等都市管理相關課題。

This course is designed as an introductory course of urban economics. It covers fundamental principles developed in economics to understand the functioning/workings of an urban economy and the various aspects of urban life. Firstly, the course begins with the definition of a city, and why cities form by introducing the economics of agglomeration, and how cities interact to form the urban system of the entire economy. These factors affect all urban phenomena. Secondly, the course analyzes the internal spatial structure of a city by developing a theory of commuting, housing demand and housing production. It then analyzes transportation and land/housing issues in more detail. On transportation, we focus on the economics of traffic congestions, the rationale for congestion pricing (ERP), and the so-called fundamental law of highway congestion. The discussion on land and housing, will address various housing phenomena such as tenure choice and location. The courses will discuss the optimality of local public good provision, and connect local public finance and housing markets with land taxation.

評分標準
課堂參與30%：本課程鼓勵同學們於課堂期間（包含中場休息）發言。只要是課程內容相關問題與討論都計入發言次數。最後的成績是根據全班的發言次數分布決定，但只要肯發言這部分的成績至少會讓你有被撫慰到的感覺。

期中考30%：出題來源為課堂講義。不提供補考，因故缺考者須提前告知以進行後續安排。

課堂報告40%：同學們可以個人或小組方式，從期初提供的專題當中挑一題進行研究（完整題目將另行公布，過去同學們的報告成果也會放上網供大家參考）。這部分的成績分成投影片／書面報告（20%）和口頭報告（20%）兩部分。投影片／書面報告部分篇幅限制為25張投影片內或是報告兩千字內。參考文獻目錄不計入字數和篇幅，但須依照學術引用格式走。報告每組限制20-40分鐘，如有多位組員則每位組員都需要上台報告負責部分的內容。因報告的題目以個案分析與比較為主，同學們仍有不少發揮空間，只要明顯有用心成績都不會太差。

報告的時程安排與分組人數上限根據修課同學們的人數決定。但以開學第四周開始每周最多兩組同學上台為原則。為鼓勵同學們及早報告，最早報告的同學們每人加總成績五分（原則上為開學第四第五周報告者，但會依之後正式修課人數進行調整）。


Class Participation :30%
Midterm :30%
Term Project :40%

Midterm:
Please note that NO makeup examination will be provided. If you are absent from the scheduled exams, you will receive zero marks for this grade component. Please contact the instructor early if you have difficulties joining the exams.

Class Participation:
Class participation is composed of 30% of in-class interaction. Students are encouraged to speak up in class by asking or answering questions. You should ask questions if clarifications of the course materials are needed. Students who speak up regularly will generally receive an acceptable, if not an excellent rating. Students should elaborate their arguments as detail as possible when in discussion or answering questions. Answers without at least some elaborations or totally irrelevant have negative effect for this part. Refer to the Appendix for how past students have performed.

Term Project:
Students are required to undertake a term project, either individually or in group. The objective is for the students to conduct more in-depth studies to topics related to urban economics. Each group can choose a topic listed in the Appendix, or to propose a new topic and work on it upon approval by the instructor. Different groups may choose the same topic, provided that there is enough differentiation. (For example, in the case of picking cities and make comparisons, if the cities chosen are different, it is deemed a different topic.) Some examples of past group projects will be provided as a reference.

The grading consists of two parts:
(1) In-class Presentation (20%):
20 to 40 minutes by default. Each member of the group has to present.

(2) Slides (20%):
The presentation slides must be submitted to the instructor in both hard and soft copy in two weeks after the presentation. The length of the slides cannot exceed 25 slides or 2000 words. Exceeding either 25 slides or 2000 words will result in a penalty in grade. A full list of references must be included at the end and it does not count toward the page limit or word count. Proper citations are needed throughout the slides.

By the end of Week 3, each group should have chosen their topic and scheduled the date of presentation with the instructor. In the case of picking two cities and making comparisons, please specify which two cities are picked. Presentation starts from Week 4, with at most 2 groups to present per week. You are encouraged to present early. Early birds receive 5 total grade marks as bonus.

The plan here might be adjusted according to the number of students taking this course.
