ECO 350 Comparative Economics

During the last 50 years, Japan and the countries of North America and Western Europe have experienced historically high rates of economic growth and achieved unprecedented levels of economic prosperity for most citizens.  While economic outcomes have been broadly similar, there are significant differences among the developed economies. This course analyzes the common experiences of the developed economies while also examining the differences among these countries in terms of economic goals, corporate structures, government policies, labor management systems and financial institutions. These differences are explored through case studies of a set of countries including Japan, Germany and the United States.
