What's Covered on the Final Exam?

The final exam will cover all of the material from the beginning to the end of the course. Because most of what we've done since the second midterm has been applying the earlier material to the use of policy, rather than introducing new models, there will not be any particular emphasis on the more recent material. Thus, the exam will cover: chs. 1-15 of the Mankiw textbook; all outside readings; and the Wall Street Journal articles assigned on Jan 27 through Apr 20 from the preceding weeks.

Review and Extra Office Hours:

I will be doing some review in class on Tuesday, Apr 20. In addition, Priya and I have scheduled the following:

Date	Time	Place	Event	Person
Friday, Apr 23	2-4 PM	Oakland Annex	Review	Priya
