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