Replication data for: Course Requirements for Bachelor's Degrees in Economics

We conducted a national survey of department Chairs to investigate whether departments of economics changed course requirements for bachelors degrees since the Siegfried and Bidani (1992) paper using 1980 data. There have been few changes to course requirements. Most notable are a large increase in the number of departments requiring econometrics and a drop in departments requiring courses such as money, banking and economic history--courses once required in many business schools.

本研究针对全国经济学系系主任开展全国性调研，旨在探究自以西格里德与比达尼（Siegfried and Bidani）1992年基于1980年数据完成的研究论文发表以来，各经济学系是否调整了本科阶段的课程要求。整体而言，经济学本科课程要求鲜有变动，其中最显著的变化包括：要求修读计量经济学课程的系所数量大幅增加，而要求修读货币学、银行学与经济史等课程的系所数量有所减少——这类课程曾为众多商学院的必修课程。
