Practice problems for final, readings for Thursday

Hello Class,

All readings for this week are now posted on Stellar.

There are some practice problems (and solutions) for the final exam posted in the "Extra Resources" folder.

The review session is 4:30-6pm on Friday in 9-354. As there are lots of practice problems, the TAs may coordinate to choose a couple to do in recitation instead of the review session. They will also go over any questions about the HW3 solutions in recitation.

Thank you,
Judy Geyer

Readings for tomorrow's 11.202 class

Hello Class,
The O'Sullivan reading originally planned for Class 5 (tomorrow) is being replaced with Chapter 2 of Jan Brueckner's book 'Lectures on Urban Economics', which is posted in the 'Readings' folder. Given that the homework is also due tomorrow, it's unlikely everyone will get a chance to go through the readings thoroughly. Please glance through them, to the extent possible. Start with Glaeser's "Economic approach...". Second, Brueckner's description of the classical spatial model of cities. Third, Glaeser's "Why the poor...." [which is critical of the spatial model described by Brueckner]. Finally, Cohen and Coughlin's article on two-tiered taxation is important- glance through these to remind yourself of the effect of taxes on markets with in/elastic supply.
Thank you,
Judy Geyer via Hongmou Zhang
