Commencing in the 2003-2004 academic year, a number of courses, most of them former 1000-level electives intended for English Literature majors, have become 600-level courses modified or designed--in the case of a few new ones, like "Sexuality and Representation" above--with the General Education, or non-Lit major, audience in mind.
The 600's, on the other hand, will emphasize the reading and critical discussion of particular literary traditions and types of writing (tragedy, satire, detective fiction, the literature of sports, science fiction, literature of immigration, and so on.

 FRB: Speech, Meyer -- Rules and discretion -- January 16, 2002
An extensive literature addresses the question of whether it is preferable to implement monetary policy by a rule or by discretion.
The literature suggests three possibilities: policymakers attach a cost to interest rate variability; the more gradual response yields better policy outcomes when policymakers are uncertain about the model parameters or the model itself; and the shocks to which policymakers respond are serially correlated.
If the filtering is very poor on the other hand, as it clearly was in the 1970s, then policy is likely to be improved, as Orphanides has suggested, by attenuating the response to output or unemployment gaps, that is, by downweighting the response to changes in output or unemployment gaps.

Although a perfect measure of innovation has yet to be found, historically patent statistics have proven adequate to that end (Acs & Audretsch, 1989; Griliches, 1990).
Patents as a measure of innovative activity have a long history in the economics literature, with seminal contributions by Griliches, Pakes, and Hall (1986), and Hausman, Hall, and Griliches (1984).
Until recently, the number of patent applications and the complexity of the USPTO database made it extremely difficult to use patent data for agricultural biotechnology.
