Global Energy Policy

Global Energy Policy gives an objective view of the world energy system and the energy transition. This course aims at providing students with the critical knowledge and skills to understand the energy trilemma and the trade-offs that governments have to make in designing energy policies. The course centers around sustainability but deep-dives into the technological and political economy constraints that inhibit a higher-paced transition. Consequentially, the course focuses on three elements. First, we evaluate the state of play, trends and projections in global energy, including key technologies, investment trends and subsidy policies. Second, we use case-based teaching to understand the drivers and constraints associated with national energy policy decision making. Cases are chosen to discuss the role of social contracts, firms, geopolitics and vested interests. They include, among others power sector reform in India; biofuel reform in the US and the EU; oil and natural gas geopolitics; oil & conflict; corruption in the energy sector; energy in China’s Belt and Road Initiative. And third, we discuss regional and global energy policies and players.

GLOBAL POLITICAL THOUGHT

Gandhi: Political Philosopher

This course is intended as a series of courses over the coming years to be taught on central figures in Global Political Thought of the past and the present: Gandhi, Nehru, Ambedkar, Tagore, Senghor, Nyerere, the Liberation Theologians, Ali Shariati, etc., relating their ideas to the canonical as well as the dissenting political thinkers of the modern West. The focus of this course will be on Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi integrated his political activism in the remarkable anti-colonial movement he led with highly original philosophical ideas about politics, morals, and religion. This course will explore those ideas on a wide range of topics: liberty, equality, alienation, the state and constitution, civil disobedience, non-violence, the relation between religion and politics, social hierarchies (caste, race, gender), political and cultural identity, and the claims of modernity. Throughout, the ambition will be to explore the relevance of his political ideas to contemporary concerns. The course will study primary texts by Gandhi and selected secondary readings by leading thinkers who have explored Gandhi as political thinker. It will be team taught by Akeel Bilgrami (Columbia Philosophy and Committee on Global Thought), Uday Mehta (CUNY Graduate Center, Political Science), and John Thatamanil (Union Theological Seminary).

Clean Energy Financial Innovation

Prerequisites: INAF U6072 or SUMA PS5155 or Clean Energy Financial Innovation will focus on the financing of clean energy generation, energy efficiency and energy storage. The course is complimentary to International Energy Project Finance (INAF U6040) and not intended to have substantial overlap. Instead, Clean Energy Financial Innovation will cover those transaction and financing structures outside traditional utility scale project finance. Clean Energy Finance will focus upon the fragmented distributed generation and energy efficiency sectors where portfolio approaches and other innovative techniques are required. Such financing structures often require a combination of project finance techniques, securitization and other structured finance skill sets. The objective of Clean Energy Finance is to introduce students to asset deployment market participants and business models, key contractual arrangements, capital structuring techniques, private market precedents and criteria, public market precedents and criteria, and the at financing frontier transaction types that have yet to be financed but that offer tremendous potential. Students completing the course should have a broad understanding of clean energy deployment transaction types, example participants, precedent transactions, methodologies for considering the viability of transaction types and financing structures, and investor requirements.

Environmental Justice and Climate Resili

Enviro Justice & Climate Resil

This course will examine the intersections of race, equity, and the environment – focusing on the growing role and impact of the environmental justice movement. Environmental Justice embeds various disciplines into its analytical framework ranging from political science to urban ecology, economics, sociology, environmental science, community organizing, and more. Drawing from these disciplines, as well as from recent climate laws, policies, advocacy, and regulations, students will develop a deep understanding of climate, equity, and environmental justice in New York City. Building on the concept of integrated climate resiliency, this course will introduce students to the policies, stakeholders, research, and advocacy involved in the development and implementation of environmental laws, energy policies, nature-based solutions, and sustainable infrastructure. Throughout the course, we will review the impact and implications of particular policies, as well assess case studies of particular communities. The course will also invite guest speakers currently working in the field to share their views and expertise.

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS

The course is designed to introduce PhD students in Sociology to the basic techniques for collecting, interpreting, analyzing, and reporting interview and observational data. The readings and practical exercises we will do together are designed to expand your technical skillset, inspire your thinking, to show you the importance of working collaboratively with intellectual peers, and to give you experiential knowledge of various kinds of fieldwork. Mostly, though, students will learn how to conduct indictive field-based analyses. There are many versions of this model, including Florian Znaniecki’s “analytic induction,” Barney Glaser and Anselm Straus’ “grounded theory,” John Stuart Mill’s system of inductive logic, the Bayesian approach to inference in statistics, and much of what computationally-intensive researchers refer to as data mining. This course will expose students to ways of thinking about their research shared by many of these different inductive perspectives. Remember, though, that all of these formulations of analytic work are ideal types. The actual field, and actual field workers, are often far more complex. For that reason, this course focuses not merely on theory, but also, and fundamentally, on practice. While some skills like producing a code book or formulating a hypothesis can be developed through reading and reflection, the field demands more nuanced skillsets that can only be attained by trial and error. How do you get an honest answer to a painful or embarrassing question? How do we know that the researcher interviewed enough people? Or spent enough time in the field? Or asked the right questions? Or did not distort the truth? My hope is that by the end of class you will have done enough fieldwork to have arrived at a good set of answers, and to begin developing the ability to communicate your answers to others. A note on intellectual parentage: The particular approach to training in this course is based on a qualitative bootcamp developed by Mario Small for Harvard’s Ph.d cohorts. Other methods courses focus on particular technical skills rather than analytic frames, or merely on empirical work itself, rather than secondary literature on method. This is one way to think through analytic training. We will try it out together.

Comprehensive Financial Sector Policy

Comprehensive Fincl Sector Pol

In this course, we will look at activities and functions of various types of financial institutions, such as banks, asset managers, and securities dealers, and examine how their activities interact and affect households, corporates, and the economy. We will examine the challenges they face and the possibility of market failures created by their activities. We will then turn to the role of the public sector in addressing such market failures. The course will take a comprehensive view of regulation, across all types of institutions and markets. Although the course will take up many Japanese examples, the challenges are shared by other economies. The purpose of the course is to discuss the appropriate policy in the field of finance to secure a good balance between financial stability and effective financial intermediation, between consumer and investor protection and better services for consumers and investors, and between market integrity and market vigor. The ultimate goal aims to promote sustainable economic growth and national welfare.

Central Banking, Monetary and Fiscal Pol

Cent Bank, Monetary & Fisc Pol

This course is about central banks, monetary and fiscal policy. Its goals are to provide students with expertise in this area; to prepare students to communicate this expertise to policymakers, clients and the public; and to enable students to use this expertise in their roles in central banks, finance ministries or other public or private institutions. The first part of the course uses some simple Classical and neo-Keynesian models to analyze the effects of monetary policy. It is shown how a Phillip’s curve can arise and how a liquidity trap is possible. The various roles of money and the costs of inflation are discussed. The rational expectations revolution of the 1960s and 1970s and stagflation of the 1970s and 1980s changed academics’ and policymakers’ view of the relationship between inflation and unemployment. I discuss how this led to central bank independence and monetary union. The second part of the course considers central banks as agents of the state and as fiscal players.  The balance sheets of central banks and of the rest of the state sector are inextricably intertwined.  I discuss how a monetary policy committee makes a group decision and communicates this to the public. The final part of the course considers a number of topical issues in central banking. How should a central bank deal with a financial market bubble? What is the relationship between central banks and politics? How does it matter that a committee makes monetary policy?  The unique problems faced by the Eurosystem/ECB.  What are central banks doing in response to COVID, and what should they be doing?
