前言
北京大学经济学院现有经济学系、国际经济与贸易系、金融学系、风险管理
与保险学系、财政学系、发展经济学系等 6 个教学单位。6 个系均有能力提供用
英文教授的课程；截至目前，我们经过整理，拟提供下面 65 门用英文教授的课
程。
能够开设如此多的英文课程，首先得益于我院优秀的师资力量。目前在经济
学院的教师队伍中，从国外（境外）获得博士学位的人数已经达到三分之一左右；
在国内大学取得博士学位的教师，也大都具有丰富的国际学术阅历，在世界著名
大学或研究机构经常从事学术交流、访学、合作研究等活动。其中一些老师具备
了很好的英语能力，这是我院能够提供英文授课的基本条件。
我院之所以提供一份可供开设英文课程的计划，也充分考虑到了现实需求。
从学生培养角度讲，当下是全球经济一体化的时代，这一客观条件要求我们必须
具备开设部分英文课程的能力，这有利于为我国培养出具有良好国际合作交流能
力和执行能力的经济金融人才。从院系发展角度讲，开设英文课程也是推进经济
学院教育国际化的重要举措。高等教育国际化是院校发展的大势所趋。开设英文
课程能使我院更有效的开展与国外院校的交流与合作，提高经济学院的办学水
准。
这本手册可以说是我院在英文教学领域的探索和成果的部分展示。学院将
努力把这些课程办好，并且随着需要推陈出新，同时与时俱进，对其中一些课程
的教学内容也进行改革和补充。期待不久的将来，我院的中国学生和外国留学生、
其他学院有需要的学生，也都可以修读这些课程。
一个学院的英文课程建设，毕竟只是整个学校教育教学改革的一部分。我们
也将继续在学校各个部门，尤其是学校教务部、研究生院和国际合作部的领导下，
继续把这个工作做扎实。同时，也希望可以分享其他兄弟教学单位的英文合作课
程。
这本手册主要简单介绍我院拟开设的英文课程，同时还提供一些学位﹑住
宿﹑及申请信息。我们相信，随着我院对外合作交流工作的不断深入和拓展，凭
借优秀的师资力量和积极开拓进取的精神，我院能够建设成为世界一流的经济学
科教学及科研机构。

2. 课程中文名称：计量经济学
任课教师: 董志勇
TITLE: Econometrics
INSTRUCTOR: DONG Zhiyong, Professor, Department of Economics
Econometrics is the branch of economics concerned with the empirical estimation of economic
relationships. It is conceived broadly to include not only econometric models and estimation theory but
also econometric data analysis, econometric applications in various substantive fields, and the uses of
estimated econometric models.
Econometrics is the application of mathematics and statistical methods to the analysis of economic
data. The evidence provided by the data affects our ideas about the appropriateness of the original
model and may result in significant revisions of such models. There is, thus, a continuous interplay in
econometrics between mathematical-theoretical modeling of economic behavior, data collection, data
summarizing, model fitting, and model evaluation. Theory suggests data to be sought and examined;
data availability suggests new theoretical questions and stimulates the development of new statistical
methods. The examination of theories in light of data leads to their revision. The examination of data in
the light of theory leads often to new interpretations and sometimes to questions about its quality or
relevance and to attempts to collect new and different data.
Part 1: summarizes some basic tools used repeatedly in econometrics, including linear algebra, matrix
methods, and statistical theory.
Part 2: deals with econometric models, their relationship to economic models, their identification, and
the question of model choice and specification analysis.
Part 3: takes up more advanced topics in estimation and computation theory such as non-linear
regression methods, biased estimation, and computational algorithms in econometrics. This part also
includes a series of chapters on simultaneous equations models, their specification and estimation,
distribution theory for such models, and their Bayesian analysis.
Part 4: considers testing of econometric estimators, including Wald, likelihood ratio, and Lagrange
multiplier tests; multiple hypothesis testing; distribution theory for econometric estimators and
associated test statistics; and Monte Carlo experimentation in econometrics.
Part 5:treats various topics in time series analysis, including time series and spectral methods in
econometrics, dynamic specification, inference and casuality in economic time series models,
continuous time stochastic models, random and changing coefficient models, and the analysis of panel
data.
Parts 6 and 7: present discussions of various special topics in econometrics, including latent variable,
limited dependent variable, and discrete choice models; functional forms in econometric model
building; economic data issues including longitudinal data issues; and disequilibrium, self selection, and
switching models.
Part 8: covers selected applications and uses of econometrics. Because of the extremely wide range of
applications of econometrics, we could select only a few of the more prominent applications.
Part 9: Eviews application

TITLE: Optimization Methods in Dynamic Economics
INSTRUCTOR: ZHAO Xiaojun, Assistant Professor, Department of Economics
This course provides various optimization methods to analyze the dynamic economy. The
dynamic economy can be separated as the deterministic and stochastic parts, and the
optimization methods are variation method, optimal control, Lagrange functional and dynamic
programming. Variation method is the fundamental in the dynamic optimization theory, and
can be used to find the optimal rules that the agents should abide by in the complex economic
system, such as the optimal stopping time, multi-stage problems and the information
economics. Optimal control is the standard method, while Lagrange functional has the
universal usage. Dynamic programming is another important optimization method which does
not depend on the variation method; it is widely used to find the numeric solution of the
dynamic system. In a word, this course provides you swords to fight difficulties in the economic
research.

This course provides the deep understanding about the economy system. Traditionally, general
equilibrium (GE) theory is deemed as the core of economics, it has much more longer history
than other subjects in economics. In this course, we first introduce the classic GE theory, which
is composed of the work of Walras, Debrue, Mckenzie, etc. Even, we will extend to the dynamic
and stochastic cases and show how the GE theory works. Furthermore, we step in the dynamic
stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model and derive some new results. Besides, the course
provides the computational methods to analyze the GE model, we prepare the two sections
focusing on the CGE and DSCGE models. In the last, I will propose several open problems which
are concerned with GET, and hope the prominent student solve them. Pure theory can be
cumbersome, you may find fun in it.

This course is designed for 2nd-year undergraduate students. The course focuses on
understanding and application of the linear regression model. This tool is essential in the study
of relationships between two or more economic variables, testing hypothesis of economic
behavior and forecasting economic outcomes. Economics and econometrics, unlike most
sciences and statistics, is characterized by the unavailability of controlled environments and
repeated experimentation. Consequently, it is difficult to discover or test causal relationships,
to measure the effects of a particular economic policy or an economic control on economic
states, and other similar thought experiments. Econometrics not only provides adequate
statistical methods but also clever solutions to overcome many of these obstacles.

INSTRUCTOR:
TANG Xiang, Assistant Professor, Department of International Economics and Trade
Welfare economics is an important branch of modern economics. Essentially, it could be
regarded as a system of theories about “choosing the optimum social life style”. It attempts to
answer an imaginative question: How a society should organize its social life in order to
maximize the aggregate well-being of its members, under given natural and cultural
conditions. More formally, welfare economics is a science that uses the methodologies of
modern economics to study 1) how to define the social welfare based on individual welfare,
and 2) how to maximize the social welfare by appropriate design of social institutions and
public policy. These two topics may be termed as normative and applied welfare economics,
respectively.
This course discusses a series of important contemporary policy issues based on an
introduction of the concepts and theories of welfare economics, with the aim of equipping the
students with a basic framework for understanding and thinking about social institutions and
public policy-making.

TITLE: Risk Management and Insurance
INSTRUCTOR: SUN Qixiang, Professor, Department of Risk Management and Insurance
The management of risk, both through insurance and risk management practices is of growing
importance not only to the insurance industry but to both large and small companies,
government agencies, families and individuals. Good risk management practices can lead to
win-win situations, in which insureds can reduce their premiums and general liability costs,
while at the same time insurance companies can reduce the number of claims they must
handle, freeing up resources that are better dedicated to product (policy) development. In this
course we will discuss the interplay between risk management techniques and insurance
product development from the prospective of both providers and clients, both in theory and in
practice, both in China and overseas.
The ultimate aim of the course is to have students gain knowledge of the basics of risk
management and insurance and understand how insurance works in practical terms. A
secondary aim of the course is to gain an understanding of the global insurance industry and in
global business practices in general.

In
addition,
Peking
University’s
Summer
School
International
(http://www.oir.pku.edu.cn/PKUSummerSchool/) offers some courses with Chinese
characteristics. Here are some of its courses for your reference. The program offers
ten content courses and one Chinese language course. The subjects of the content
courses will be related to philosophy, economics, public policy, sociology, culture,
literature and music.
1. TITLE: Communication, Culture, and Society: The Chinese Way
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course will focus on the triangular relationship of communication, culture and society in
China. It intends to demonstrate, through the Chinese cases, how heavily our communication
habits are influenced by the culture that has shaped us as members of the society, and how our
communication, both interpersonal and mediated, helps to construct and change the society
we live in. Therefore, this is not merely a course on China, and the thinking can hopefully be
applied and examined elsewhere. The lectures will use vivid cases such as daily events rather
than abstract theoretical deliberation to illustrate arguments and thoughts regarding how
people communicate and what they achieve through communication, and above all, the social
and cultural consequences of our communicative behaviors. The topic "Food, Communication,
and the Chinese Culture", for example, discusses how in ancient China the way people ate was
developed into an important part of the system of rituals as recorded in the Book of Rites, and
the traditional function of dining as a means to communicate respect, affection and friendship
is still common in contemporary Chinese public relations practices. Surely the "by-product" of
this course would be to help the students understand more deeply the Chinese culture and
history, and the society and people in China today.
The lectures will be illustrated with colorful power point slides, and the students are
encouraged to ask questions and to present their own views.
2. TITLE: Comparative Philosophy: China and the West
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The focus of the course will be a careful reading of representative texts of the Confucian and
Daoist lineages: the Analects of Confucius, the Zhong Yong, the Xiao Jing, the Daodejing,
selections from Zhuangzi and the Huainanzi. The objective will be to struggle with imagination
to take the Chinese philosophical tradition on its own terms. To this end, we will use several
sources - the Book of Changes, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tang Junyi on Chinese natural
cosmology - to establish a lens through which to read these canonical texts. This lens provide us
with an interpretive context, and will enable us to be sensitive to the presuppositions we are
likely willy-nilly to bring to the texts. Over the tenure of the course, we will attempt to develop
a nuanced and sophisticated appreciation of the basic vocabulary of Chinese philosophy.
73
3. TITLE: Study on Chinese Traditional Music Culture
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Equivalent to Series Study on Music and Culture, special subject: Chinese Music, Peking
University. Part of Core Curriculum since 2007. Study on Chinese Traditional Music Culture aims
to instill in listeners a basic comprehension of the many sorts of the Chinese musical
imagination and inspiration. The course specific goals are to awaken and encourage in students
and appreciation of music from ancient to present in China, to help them learn to discover
intelligently to a variety of musical idioms, and to engage them in the colorful debates about
the character and purposes of music that have occupied composers and musical thinkers since
epic age of China. The class tries to involve students actively in the process of critical listening
which performed by Chinese musicians live in the classroom, and the instructor attempts to
help students grasp how to sing a Chinese folk song fluently phase by phase in person too. The
extraordinary richness of musical life in Beijing is thus an integral part of the course. Although
without the background on Chinese music and even not a history of Chinese music, the course
is developed in series question such as What is Chinese music, what is the traditional functions
of Chinese music so on, each unit is divided into two parts: text analysis and music imitation.
4. TITLE: Transition and Public Policy in China
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This is an introductory course about China's public policy in the process of economic,
administrative and social transition. We will provide major facts and alternative explanations
for various policy problems and corresponding public policies during this transition.

centrally planned economy period, major reforms after 1978 (including rural reforms, urban
reforms, state-owned enterprise reforms, financial reforms and administrative reforms),
current problems and major public policies, etc.
5. TITLE: Introduction to Chinese Economy
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
China's fast economic growth has generated great interest among media, scholars and ordinary
people around the world. The aim of this course is to provide students with an overview of the
Chinese economy. The topics covered include an introduction of the Chinese economic history,
the transition path from a central-planning to a market-oriented economy, the background and
implications of the urban-rural divide, population growth and the related labor market issues,
the financial system and its reforms, international trade and the role of foreign investment, the
environmental issues and policies, etc. Upon completion of the course, students are expected
to be familiar with China's economic system, its current economic reforms, and the challenges
that the country faces in the twenty-first century.
74
6. TITLE: Poverty and Policy Responses in China
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course will provide an overview of the contemporary discussions on poverty and inequality
in China. It has an analytic and descriptive focus on definition, measurement, processes of
production of poverty and inequality, as well as public policy responses. At the conclusion of
this course, students will be able to understand the role of public policy and its implementation
in producing, maintaining and alleviating poverty and inequality in China. Furthermore,
students will obtain a solid understanding of some fundamental theoretical and methodological
frameworks. Specifically, the topics include definition and measurement of poverty and
inequality, poverty populations in China, Chinese administration structure and social welfare
institutions, concrete policy responses to poverty and inequality, as well as evaluations on
current anti-poverty policies.
7. TITLE: Chinese Foreign Policy
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is designed to survey major topics of the international relations of the People's
Republic of China. It begins with a brief historical review of China's role in the pre-modern
world, followed by a survey of Chinese Communist Party's world view and China's non-aligned
policy. Then the course will be organized around special topics of Chinese foreign policy in the
post-Cold War era, including the rise of China, the Taiwan Issue, U.S.-China relations,
nationalism, public opinion, China's multilateral diplomacy as well as the economic dimension
of China's interactions with the outside world. The course pays attention to the application of
different international relations theories to the problems under study. The course aims to
acquaint students with knowledge of China's involvement in world affairs in historical and
contemporary perspectives and train them with an analytical understanding of the dynamics
of China's foreign policy.
8. TITLE: Modern Chinese Film
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course will lead the students through the various stages of Chinese cinema from the
establishment of P.R. China in 1949 till now (with a brief review of Chinese film in the
Republican era in the first session). In the various periods, state policies, filmmaking trends,
representative filmmakers and films, and the state of the industry will be covered, with close
readings of some important films. The course is intended to give the students a historical
perspective and broad knowledge of Chinese cinema, and trainings in academic approaches to
film studies.
75
9.TITLE: Chinese Politics and Public Policy
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course seeks to introduce advanced undergraduate and master level students to the main
issues in the study of Chinese politics, with a special focus on the policy making process in
contemporary China.
In the first three sessions, the instructors will cover in a very brief manner the political
development of China from late Qing to the Hu Jintao period, trying to help the students
understand the main themes of the Chinese politics and background of the current political
problems.
In sessions 4-5, the focus is the challenges faced now by the Chinese leadership, ranging from
state capacity decline to the increasing social instabilities. Whether and how these problems
can be handled will arguably define the political future of the Chinese nation.
In the next four sessions, we will analyze the institutional characteristics of the Chinese
party-state, cover the main models to understand the Chinese policy making process, and we
will use some examples to illustrate the power and shortcomings of the models. In the final
session, the current debate about the Chinese political future will be reviewed. Hopefully, after
taking the whole course, the students can have their own informed and well-grounded
arguments on this topic.
10. TITLE: Introduction to Issues in Trade and Development
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The course will introduce the student to the principles of economics that are key to
understanding key aspects of international trade including the basis for trade, the gains from
trade and the effects of policies that influence trade flows. In addition, time will be spent
focusing on macroeconomic topics including the balance of payments, exchange rates,
monetary and fiscal policy in the open economy and alternative types of international
monetary arrangements. Throughout the course, special attention will be paid to issues that
are of special interest to developing countries.
