John Maluccio

Maluccio is a very kind and effective professor! There are two short papers and a research paper, and I believe he is a fair grader. He is very understanding and goes over all the concepts in a clear manner. I recommend this course to anyone that needs an economic seminar.

I really enjoyed this course, and think that the professor is very effective and understanding in his teaching style. He grades the two short essays very fairly and there is a final research paper. There are weekly readings, which you discuss in class. I learned so much from me, and you are given a lot of autonomy to pick topics on things that interest you.

This was a very interesting elective to take. Professor Maluccio's interest in the topic is already a very helpful attribute to the class if you are not particularly interested in the topic yourself. However, more importantly, this class has broader relevance for economics students. I think it is a very valuable introduction to international economics presented in a simpler context to begin with. Also, this course has certain history elements to it, so if you are curious about economic history (or just history), this is a valuable course as we learned about the economic phenomena that led to how Latin America is today.
