Abstract

This article summarizes the pedagogical approaches I have taken in teaching public choice in a course that enrolls advanced business school undergraduates (majors in economics, mainly) as well as master’s students in economics and political science. It starts with a brief overview of the field and then describes the course’s content. I reproduce a recent syllabus and two representative homework assignments. Some learning “modules” are suggested and ways of evaluating students’ mastery of public choice principles are discussed.
