10 Spring 2013 Course Information Economics INTRODUCTION TO INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS Instructor: Gregory (Greg) Whitten Phone: Office: 4516 W.W. Posvar Hall Office Hours: Wednesday 13h00 15h30 gww2@pitt.edu or whittengw@gmail.com Students should check CourseWeb regularly for announcements and material related to the class. E- mail is the best way to contact me. I am rarely in my office (I may reserve one of the conference rooms in the economics department to hold office hours). You may find me more easily in the Economics Graduate Lab (WWPH 4930) if you need to get ahold of me immediately. You may ask for individual meetings if my office hours are not convenient for you. If I am available, I will almost surely say yes. However, if you fail to arrive on time to a previously-scheduled meeting or fail to cancel within a reasonable (where I judge what is reasonable ) amount of time, I reserve the right to refuse any future request for an individual meeting with you. Text Steven Husted and Michael Melvin, International Economics, 9th ed. Addison-Wesley Publishers, 2013 (cited below as "HM"). I have placed a copy of this book on reserve at Hillman Library. Please note that the second half of the ninth edition is radically different from earlier editions. Therefore, using old editions may be problematic for topics in international finance (the second part of the course). Grading, homework, and exams The following components will determine your final grade: Homework (lowest-graded homework to be dropped) 30% First exam (anticipated date: 7 March 2013, but negotiable) 35% Second exam (final exam: date TBA) 35% No late homework will be accepted under any circumstances. Assignments will be due at 11h00 on the date indicated. All homework assignments must be typed. If circumstances prevent you from being in class to hand in the homework by 11h00, send it to me in an before 11h00 or give a hard copy to your friends to hand in at 11h00. I will drop the homework with the lowest grade when calculating your average homework score for your final grade. There are no make-up exams. If you can demonstrate with appropriate documentation that a serious event, such as hospitalization, prevented you from taking an exam, I will count the remaining exam for 70% of your grade. If you miss both exams, you will receive 0 points for both exams.

11 Each homework assignment (unless otherwise specified) will consist of a set of questions analyzing a selected portion of an article. Each exam will have 2 such sets of questions and selected portions of an article. Each homework assignment will be worth 20 points (unless otherwise specified). Each exam will be worth 40 points (unless otherwise specified). The first exam will cover sections 1-5 (see below) while the second/final exam will cover sections 6-9. That is to say, the final exam is not comprehensive. However, I may choose to include questions covering some material from the first half of the course in the final exam, though such questions will constitute a small portion of the total coverage. I would include such questions in the event that the overall performance on the midterm exam indicated that a large number of students did not understand certain key concepts in trade. If I include such questions, I will let you know a few weeks before the final exam and will provide more detail regarding what material you should revise. To obtain full points on a homework assignment or an exam, a response must be clear and concise. There will often be limits on the length of your answers. Within these limits, the response must, where appropriate: apply theoretical concepts to a particular real-world example; evaluate the text, to an appropriate depth, for the concepts covered in class; support the evaluation with appropriate evidence and theory; adhere to the rules of spelling, word usage, and grammar. To emphasize the importance of the last point, I will deduct one point for every error of spelling, usage, or grammar found in your answers. If you make the exact same error twice, you will lose 2 points. This policy will apply to homework and to exams. Examples of statements that would reduce points include: Where the level of unemployment is at determines There are a series of reasons to explain why The affect of a common currency on trade differs across currency unions. Students who can demonstrate that their native language is not English may bring a simple, bilingual dictionary (an actual book, not an electronic resource) to the exam. In that event, please arrive early so that I can verify that no unauthorized materials (e.g., copies of notes) are hidden in the pages of the dictionary. Although students may consult with each other on the homework assignments, each student is responsible for submitting an original answer. If I discover two or more submitted assignments for a given homework that resemble each other substantially, I reserve the right to pursue the matter as a violation of the University s policy on Academic Integrity. The following table (starts on the next page) describes roughly how I intend to link scores on homework and exams to letter grades. I reserve the right to adjust the boundaries between one letter grade and another as circumstances dictate.

If you are tired, for whatever reason (late-night studying or late-night partying), do not come to class, but ask one of your classmates to provide you with notes from the lecture that you missed. Do not hold conversations with your classmates while I am talking. If you did not understand something that I said, feel free to raise your hand and ask me to repeat the information. I am happy to do so. If circumstances require that you arrive late or leave early, please do so with a minimum of fuss. That is to say, choose a seat in the classroom close to the door such that you do not have to cross in front of the entire class in order to enter or to leave. If you are bored out of your mind and cannot but help texting, reading a newspaper, or doing anything else similar, make sure I can t figure out that you are not paying attention. Academic Integrity Students in this course will be expected to comply with the University of Pittsburgh's Policy on Academic Integrity. Any student suspected of violating this obligation for any reason during the semester will be required to participate in the procedural process, initiated at the instructor level, as outlined in the University Guidelines on Academic Integrity. This may include, but is not limited to, the confiscation of the examination of any individual suspected of violating University Policy. Furthermore, no student may bring any unauthorized materials to an exam, including dictionaries and programmable calculators. Students with disabilities If you have a disability that requires special testing accommodations or other classroom modifications, you need to notify both the instructor and Disability Resources and Services no later than the second week of the term. You may be asked to provide documentation of your disability to determine the appropriateness of accommodations. To notify Disability Resources and Services, call (412) (Voice or TTD) to schedule an appointment. The Disability Resources and Services office is located in 140 William Pitt Union on the Oakland campus. Statement on Classroom Recording To ensure the free and open discussion of ideas, students may not record classroom lectures, discussion and/or activities without the advance written permission of the instructor, and any such recording properly approved in advance can be used solely for the student s own private use. Almost surely, if you ask to record a lecture because you sincerely believe that it will help you, I will give you permission, provided that you promise not to post the recording or distribute the recording by other means. I only ask that you follow the University policy and ask me in writing.

Your course grade will be computed with the following weights: Homework assignments 25 percent Exam 1 25 percent Exam 2 25 percent Exam 3 25 percent After each exam, the students scores and exam statistics (i.e. class average, class highest, and class lowest scores) will be posted on the Courseweb. The course letter grade will be determined as follows. After the final exam I will compute course scores incorporating scores earned on exams and group assignments weighted as 3

21 indicated above. A student fails the class if a so determined course score is below 60. The rest will be graded based on the following scale: A range B range C range D range Course Calendar * Week Date Lecture Week 1 Aug 26 Aug 28 Week 2 Sept 2 Sept 4 Week 3 Sept 9 Sept 11 Week 4 Sept 16 Sept 18 Week 5 Sept 23 Sept 25 Week 6 Sept 30 Oct 2 Week 7 Oct 7 Oct 9 Week 8 Oct 14 Oct 15 Oct 16 Week 9 Oct 21 Oct 23 Week 10 Oct 28 Oct 30 Week 11 Nov 4 Nov 6 Week 12 Nov 11 Nov 13 Week 12 Nov 18 Nov 20 Week 13 Nov 25 Nov 27 Week 14 Dec 2 Dec 4 Week of finals An Introduction to International Trade.

27 University of Pittsburgh Fall 2013 Econ 0500 (CLS #10998) Tekin Kose FAQs and Answers: If you have any questions, please check the below list first. Then, feel free to contact me with your further questions. 1. I have a time conflict and cannot make it to your office hour, what should I do if I want to ask questions outside the classroom? You can always talk to me after the classes. It is also fine for me to meet with you in an arranged appointment. Please me for the intended date and time to meet. You can also me with your questions, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. For any kind of difficulty you face with in the course process, it is your responsibility to contact me and it is my responsibility to help you. 2. What will be the format of the tests and quizzes? There will be multiple-choice exams. Multiple choices, true/false questions, and problems may appear in pop-quizzes. The exams are in closed-book format. 3. Are there any make-up tests? For the exams, you will be given a make-up exam only if you notify me prior to the exam and present a certificate from doctor indicating that you were physically unable to attend the exam. In order to schedule a makeup exam, you must submit the proof of your excuse together with the Missed Exam Form available at the end of this document. There will be only one make up exam which will be a comprehensive one and held during the finals week. 4. Are the exams comprehensive? The exams are not comprehensive, but since economics is an integrated discipline, to do well in the exams you should not forget the basic materials you have learned before. As we move on in the course, you will notice that chapters build up on the knowledge of earlier chapters. This means you need to seek help early if you need it. You are welcome to come to my office for theoretical material help. 6. If I have to miss a class when there is a pop-quiz, is there any way I can have a make up for it? No. There are no make up for pop-quizzes. 7. Are there any pre-requisite of this course? Although this is an introductory course, so there are special pre-requisites. You should have knowledge of both Introductory Microeconomics and Introductory Macroeconomics. Moreover, since we will be using graphs heavily in our course, competence in basic algebra and geometry (graphing, linear equations and slopes of linear curves) would help. You may need to use first order differentiation which is taught in Introductory Calculus classes. 6
