Under the Resources tab, under the "Our Field" heading, you can find links to many recent syllabi for classes on organizational and institutional economics throughout the world. But I wanted draw your particular attention to an especially fine set of notes , at the PhD level, on modern organizational economics.

They are clear, acccessible, and I commend them to your attention.
