Jeffrey Carpenter

Professor carpenter was a very chill semester, but expect lots of problem sets and 4 exams. Lectures were easy to pay attention for the most part but sometimes material would get confusing. Still recommend taking this class if the material interests you, otherwise gets boring.

Jeff Carpenter genuinely has so much aura. I learned some great stuff about equilibriums and auctions and games, too. The problem sets take a bit of time, but they prepare you well for the tests. Overall, I would recommend.

This is a chill class, so if you want a low-stress elective this is one to take. Every day one student is assigned to lead the lecture on the assigned reading for that day, so it isn't really Professor Carpenter teaching (but he jumps in if he wants to share his thoughts on the material). You only have to lecture for one class so once you are done you don't have to worry about much. Other than that, there is an empirical exercise (paper) about halfway through the semester to assess your econometric skills and there is also an experiment at the end (everyone will use the same dataset gathered from the experiment) which you will also write a paper on.
