PLEASE NOTE THAT ACCORDING TO CURRENT PLANS, I WILL NOT BE TEACHING ECON 340 IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

THIS IS HOW THE WEBSITE FOR ECON 340 LOOKED RIGHT AT THE END OF THE SPRING 2004 SEMESTER.

RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS. (For older or out-of-date announcements, see Older Announcements.)

Friday May 14, 2004: I have posted copies of the exam and the corresponding answers on the Old Exams page of this web site.

Monday May 10, 2004: Because the exam is early Friday and Wednesday is review day, Gunjan Sharma will hold office hours on Tuesday 11-12 and Wednesday 11-1 this week, and not at the usual Wednesday and Thursday times.  Both Gunjan Sharma and Peter Murrell can meet with students outside office hours.  Just email either of us to find a mutually convenient time.

Thursday May 6, 2004: The Final Exam is on Friday May 14, 8:00-10:00am.
It will NOT be in the regular classroom or in the classroom used for the first two exams.
It will take place in Marie Mount Hall, Room 1400.

Friday April 30, 2004:  The twenty-first and twenty-second set of overheads are now available, on the building blocks of macroeconomics and on adjustments to attain macroeconomic equilibrium.  Find them at: overheads.
