Economics of Art and Science (ROME 204 and ECON 204)
Although the differences between art and science are obvious and important, economists nonetheless associate these activities as instances of public goods, subject to market failure and externality problems. This course is an introduction to economic and policy analysis of the production and distribution of works of art and scientific knowledge. A central topic is government subsidies and regulation versus private funding and commercialization of art and science. Prerequisite: An introductory economics course (Trinity prerequisite: ECON 101).Enrollment is limited to 20 students.
