This page links to some of my lecture notes and course supplements. All notes are under development. I do what I can to make these notes accurate and complete, but you are responsible to be a critical reader.
Please rely on the Cavas website.
See our Canvas site for the lecture notes. Below you will find a few additional resources.
Comment: Notes provided here will be very similar to, but not identical to, the notes used in class.
Introduction to the Short Run.
Aggregate Supply Considerations.
Gini.
Measuring and Detecting Inflation
BLS response to Boskin Commission.
Triplett, Jack E., Economic Theory and BEA's Alternative Quantity and Price Indexes. From the April 1992 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.

Please understand that I am making last year's notes available to you. Naturally I will add and subtract from these when developing this year's lectures, so they are not identical to what you see in class. The notes are intended as a supplement to but NOT a substitute for your own note-taking.
Please inform me of typographical and other errors.
Interested students may also look at some Python resources. (Not required!)
Please report typos!
