How to study this deck

Economics slides love graphs. Before accepting any conclusion, identify the axes, the model's assumptions, and the variables held constant. The conclusion follows from the model, not from the world.

At the graduate level, the deck is best read against the original literature it cites, with attention to which claims are settled, which are contested, and which are the lecturer's own synthesis.

Five questions to test your understanding

  1. What is the single most important claim on the first three slides, and what evidence is offered for it?
  2. Which slide could you remove without losing the argument? Which slide is load-bearing?
  3. Where does the deck switch from definitions to applications? Mark that transition.
  4. What would a student who already disagreed with the conclusion need to see to be convinced?
  5. Which two slides, if combined, would give the clearest one-slide summary of the whole deck?
