14.46 ('Innovation Policy and the Economy') is a CI-H course being offered<br>
for the first time this year. The course aims to provide an introduction to<br>
the field of economics, through the lens of analyzing how best to design<br>
innovation-related public policies such as the patent system, public funding<br>
of research (such as through the NIH), and the H1-B visa program. Within<br>
that topical area, the course focuses on teaching the skills of effective<br>
writing, satisfying the CI-H requirement. The course has no prerequisites;<br>
freshmen and students from other fields are very welcome. The course will<br>
have a disproportionate focus on innovation in health care markets, so may<br>
be a particularly good fit for students with interests in the life sciences<br>
and medicine.<br>
