| ERP4001 | Creative Group Study | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor/Master | - | No | ||
| This course cultivates and supports research partnerships between our undergraduates and faculty. It offers the chance to work on cutting edge research—whether you join established research projects or pursue your own ideas. Undergraduates participate in each phase of standard research activity: developing research plans, writing proposals, conducting research, analyzing data and presenting research results in oral and written form. Projects can last for an entire semester, and many continue for a year or more. SKKU students use their CGS(Creative Group Study) experiences to become familiar with the faculty, learn about potential majors, and investigate areas of interest. They gain practical skills and knowledge they eventually apply to careers after graduation or as graduate students. | |||||||||

| ISS3157 | Behavioral Economics and the Economics of Altruism | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor | 1-4 | English | Yes | |
| Behavioral economics is gaining widespread acceptance among contemporary economists. Motivated by models and evidence from Psychology, it considers the implications of relaxing key classical assumptions, in particular, to allow for limited willpower, bounded cognition, and other-regarding preferences. Students will get a rigorous but intuitive introduction to prominent behavioral models such as "prospect theory", "satisficing," "time-inconsistent preferences", and "fairness". We will compare these to traditional economic models, considering the evidence, particularly from lab and field experiments, while learning key principles of experimental design and analysis. | |||||||||
| ISS3159 | Understanding International Finance, the Global Economy, and Exchange Rates | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor | 1-4 | English | Yes | |
| Exchange rates, foreign currency and international finance are essence in the global economy. Government repays overseas debt, companies make contracts on exporting/importing goods with foreign ones and fund managers invest clients’ money in overseas assets. All these economic activities are ultimately related to foreign exchange risk. Therefore, we will face serious economic losses without understanding international finance. This motivates us to study international finance. This course assumes that attended students have no background in finance and starts by introducing students to the foundations of financial theory. Students then learn the foundations of international finance focusing on foreign exchange rates. This course further introduces more advanced topics such as international asset pricing and currency risk management which are being actively used in the real world. In addition, students acquire skills in data analysis using Excel with Visual Basic for Applications. This exercise is very useful for students not only to prepare for their group works in this class, but also to do empirical analysis in both academics and industry. | |||||||||
| ISS3273 | The Present and Future of International Trade | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor | 1-4 | English | Yes | |
| A principle analysis of the pure theory of international trade. This course willinclude selected topics such as gains from trade, theories of comparative advantage, production and consumption in the model of international trade, effects of international trade on the factors of production, growth and welfare aspects of trade, trade policies, and economic unions. | |||||||||
| ISS3287 | Understanding Game Theory | 3 | 6 | Major | Bachelor | English | Yes | ||
