Curriculum for the Twenty-first Century: Recent Advances in Economic Theory and Undergraduate Economics
-
Description
-
Undergraduate economics lags behind cutting-edge economic theory. The author briefly reviews six related advances that profoundly extend and deepen economic analysis: game-theoretic modeling, collective-action problems, information economics and contracting, social preference theory, conceptualizing rationality, and institutional theory. He offers suggestions for incorporating these into the undergraduate classes at various levels. He argues that game-theoretic representation of collective action problems offers a unifying framework, on par with supply and demand, for political economy. Blending in the other developments deepens our micro-level understanding of internal and external contract enforcement, with implications on nonclearing markets, power, and distribution. At the macro level, these concepts illuminate the role of institutions in economic development and long-term growth. Undergraduate curricula should incorporate these new approaches.

Data Repository for Reproducible Research
-
Description
-
To promote reproducibility, since 2009 all my empirical research has been cached in a data repository that captures all source code and data dependencies automatically or semi-automatically. Our principle goals are to modularize, document, and preserve all aspects of experimental data. So that others may benefit from or adapt my methods, I provide a bit of motivation and explanation here, along with the full description of the parameters and guidelines of the data repository (provided to my research students) and source code for the utilities.

Frankenstein's Monsters: the Creation of Horror & the Horror of Creation
-
Description
-
The first year tutorial, taken in the fall semester, is Grinnell College's only general academic course requirement. The college intends the tutorial to assist students in further developing their critical thinking skills and in improving their written and oral communication skills. Each of the tutorials offered in a given fall semester is based around a particular subject matter, which provides the vehicle by which the above goals are accomplished. Fairy tales and horror stories are used to learn about literary analysis.

Investigations: a Handbook for Biology Courses
-
Description
-
The goal of this handbook is to communicate to students the opportunities they have in the Departments of Biology and Chemistry, as well as the expectations of their work in Grinnell College courses. Because of the close interaction between courses required for the Biology, Chemistry and Biological Chemistry majors, we recognize the need to speak in one voice about our approaches to teaching science. While you will find many differences between courses in our departments, we hope you will recognize and learn the common skills that are fundamental to good scientific understanding and practice.
