This course will cover concepts and tools needed to understand how individuals, households, and other small groups behave and interact. Specific applications include when and how people vote, what people choose to buy and at what price, and how they interact in various social networks. It will pay special attention to how such behavior varies depending on gender, race, education, and income. And it will introduce students to interpersonal networks: how they arise and evolve, how they are structured, and what their effects are on individual and group behavior.
