  For doctoral students whose programs do not include advanced courses in economics. Emphasizes concepts and techniques of economic analysis that are likely to be useful in the students' doctoral dissertation research.

                                              Course Description:
                                              
                                              This course covers the basic models and solution techniques for problems of sequential decision making under a deterministic setting or under uncertainty (stochastic control). We will discuss both finite and infinite horizon models. Most of the contents will be based on the book by D.P. Bertsekas: Dynamic Programming and Optimal Control.
