Entrepreneurship Course Materials
These course materials may be useful to faculty and students at other universities that do not have an entrepreneurship public policy specialization, but have students who are interested in this area. Faculty may wish to use these materials as a starting point for designing courses that suit the needs of their particular program. The materials may also be useful for students at universities that do not offer an entrepreneurship policy specialization but who are interested in pursing research related entrepreneurship public policy. We provide these materials as a scholarly resource. They have not been formally edited or peer reviewed. They should not be viewed as research findings or opinions of the RAND Corporation or the Pardee RAND Graduate School.
Entrepreneurship and Public Policy
Entrepreneurship and Public Policy provides an overview of key policy issues related to entrepreneurship and the theoretical and empirical approaches that have been used to address them. The course emphasizes opportunities for new research. We provide a course syllabus and annotated lecture notes for ten lectures. This course was given at PRGS in the Spring of 2008. The course materials provided here were revised in response to student feedback, as well as feedback and input from Robert Fairlie at UC Santa Cruz. The materials will be updated periodically. The course materials were developed by Professor Susan Gates with assistance from Ying Liu, Bogdan Savych, Christopher McLaren and Michael Madsen. Suggestions for improvement or additions can be sent to Susan Gates.

Labor Economics
Labor Economics introduces theoretical and empirical tools necessary to examine issues related to entrepreneurship as a labor market choice as well as issues that new firms may face as employers. Labor economics is a standard course offered at many institutions, therefore, we do not post the full range of course material. However, we do provide a course syllabus and notes for the lectures that specifically relate to entrepreneurship and self-employment. The materials were developed by Professor Paul Heaton.
