This module introduces students to key principles of oceanography, the proxies used for palaeoceanography and the history and evolution of Cretaceous to Recent oceans, through case studies.

By the end of this module students will have a knowledge of:

temperature and productivity of the oceans;
	controls on biogenic sedimentation;
	the development and history of oceanic circulation;
	understanding of analytical techniques used to obtain that knowledge.

Pharmacoeconomics is a branch of health economics which deals with identifying, measuring and comparing the costs and consequences of pharmaceutical products and medical technologies.  You will learn the concepts involved in pharmacoeconomic analysis including cost minimization (CMA), cost effectiveness (CEA), cost benefit (CBA) and cost utility (CUA) analysis.  You will also come to appreciate the tremendous help that pharmacoeconomics can play in decision making when evaluating drug treatments.  You will also learn how to interpret results from pharmacoeconomic studies as well as understand when to use various techniques and approaches for economic evaluations.

Aims: To provide students with the tools necessary to understand and implement empirical studies in economics. 3002 covers tools to deal with microeconomic issues. The tools discussed are various extensions of regression models and an introduction to nonlinear models. We review use of linear regression models, discuss various situations where linear regression models are not appropriate and study alternative models.

Suitable for: Final year Economics (L100 / L101 / L102) and Econ/Stats (LG13) students.

Prerequisites: Students must have taken ECON0019: Quantitative Economics and Econometrics in the previous year (or equivalent).

Assumed knowledge: Students coming into the course should have a very thorough understanding of regression analysis and instrumental variable strategies.
