Teaching assistant for graduate course, Cornell University, Department of Applied Economics and Management, 2026
Course Instructor
Dr. Miguel Gomez
Course Description
This is a course based in economic theory and its empirical applications, focusing on consumer demand. We will study the core of consumer theory and essential mathematical economics to understand how researchers, private businesses and policymakers use models of consumer behavior and demand response to support decision-making. We will identify relevant consumer demand related problems/issues; analyze how economic theory can help us shed light on these problems/issues; employ basic quantitative models to understand how to use and analyze data to understand consumer demand and behavior; and discuss how theory and empirical models can support decision-making in the real world.
