Basics- Basic 1

• Basic 1. I teach Econ 377, economics of
  population and Econ 300, international economics
  and Econ 339, economics of development
• There will be some minor overlaps in material,
  but dont get very hopeful.
• Because many many students take all these classes
  (whether taught by me or not), I generally do not
  spend much time on material taught in those
  classes.
