Intelligence & US Foreign Policy

The major national security controversies during the last decade have all concerned intelligence. Critics blamed U.S. intelligence agencies for failing to prevent the 9/11 attacks, and then for missing the mark on Iraqi capabilities before the war. In response, Congress ordered a sweeping reorganization of the intelligence community, and scholars began to revisit basic questions: What is the relationship between intelligence and national security? How does it influence foreign policy and strategic decisions? Why does it succeed or fail? This seminar provides an overview of the theory and practice of U.S. intelligence. It details the sources and methods used by collectors, the nature of intelligence analysis, and the relationship between intelligence agencies and policymakers. It also contains a short history of the U.S. intelligence community and evaluates the ongoing efforts to reform it. Finally, it discusses the uneasy role of secret intelligence in a modern democracy.

Advanced Economic Development for Intern

This is an advanced course in development economics, designed for SIPA students interested in rigorous, applied training. Coursework includes extensive empirical exercises, requiring programming in Stata. The treatment of theoretical models presumes knowledge of calculus. Topics include: the economics of growth; the relationship between growth and poverty and inequality; rural-urban migration; the interaction between agrarian institutions in land, labor, credit, and insurance markets; prisoner’s dilemmas and the environment; and policy debates around development strategies. Recurrent themes: Are markets efficient, and if not, in what specific ways are they inefficient? What are the forces driving development and underdevelopment? What are the causal links between poverty and inequality and economic performance? What is the role of interventions by states or civil organizations in bringing about development? The course will integrate theoretical ideas and empirical analysis, with an emphasis on questions relevant for economic policy.

Interpretive Archaeology

The objective of this graduate seminar is to bring a historiographical dimension to the training of archaeology students, by providing them with the keys to various readings of ancient Greek societies and their material culture and the way these have been constantly renewed since the nineteenth century. Through class presentations of both classical and recent texts, the seminar will develop ways of better identifying the interpretive models—most often implicit in the practice of archaeologists—which have shaped classical scholarship up to now. The seminar will offer the opportunity to discuss these models, be they supplementary or conflicting, in order to move towards an ever more explicit reasoning on archaeological interpretations of the past.

EMPIRICAL STUDIES OF JUSTICE

The class will consider justice both as
explanandum 
(something to be explained) and 
explanans 
(something that explains) in empirical contexts. As "justice" is a term that has been used in many meanings, all of which have been defended or crticized on various grounds, we shall begin with some conceptual clearing of the ground of justice, without a commitment to any particular normative claims. In other words, we shall use "justice" in the thid person (singular or plural), not in the first. We shall consider three forms of justice: distributive, retributive, and reparatory. In doing so, we shall distinguish between norms of justice and social norms. It will also be necessary to consider emotions based on a sense of justice (or injustice).

Economics, Law, & Public Policy

Economics, Law & Public Policy

As Adam Smith noted long ago, economic development cannot occur in the absence of a stable legal system. The purpose of this course is two-fold. First, the course reviews some of the modern developments in economics that are relevant for the study of institutions. Second, it uses these tools to explore the structure of the law, and its impact upon economic performance. The goal is to provide a foundation for the understanding of legal institutions that goes beyond national boundaries, and can help better understand the challenges that rapid economic growth and globalization pose for policy makers.

Behavioral Development Economics

This course explores the implications of behavioral economics for economic development—how it leads us to rethink what development is about and provides us with new ways to promote it.  By drawing on the rich empirical and experimental literature of recent years, the course investigates a psychologically and sociologically more realistic view of how people make decisions than the rational actor model.  In the readings in this course, decision-makers are cognitively bounded and
/
or have endogenous preferences, shaped by history, experience, and exposure.  Behavioral development economics gives new insights into why it is sometimes so hard to change society, and what brings about change when it does occur.  The range of equilibria and of policy tools is much broader in behavioral development economics than in traditional economics.  Large-scale economic and social change can be caused by conceptual framing effects—the influence of ideas on beliefs and preferences.  The course considers many kinds of interventions that have promoted changes in the frames through which people see themselves and the world.  The interventions include quotas in elected political positions and in education to change stereotypes; mentoring programs that increase prosocial behavior;
edutainment
to promote health; participatory theater to reduce domestic violence; and training to reduce aggressive behavior that has helped males from impoverished neighborhoods avoid school suspensions and recidivism.  Behavioral development economics is a new and exciting field that presents students research opportunities, especially in laboratory and field experiments.  One of the objectives of the course is to expose students to these opportunities.

Behavioral Policy & Public Health

Applications of behavioral insights are expanding rapidly across civic, medical, social, corporate, educational, and economic professions. This class covers the underlying theories for behavioral insights, using scientific and real-world examples of applications from multiple disciplines and locations. The course will also cover methods for behavioral implementation and evaluation, focusing particularly on healthcare policy perspectives. Students will learn a broad range of strategies through a highly interactive format, taught partially in a classroom setting in addition to remote asynchronous and synchronous sessions. Students will gain experience designing and developing their own evidence- based behavioral interventions as a part of a semester-long project. The course is taught in three phases. The first phase will introduce fundamentals of behavioral science and evidence-based policy. Students will then spend the majority of the course on examples of behavioral insights such as nudges in practice, in a healthcare context and beyond. The course will end with sessions on practical applications, where students will learn to identify appropriate situations for behavioral interventions and produce a final project in a chosen context.

Venture Capital: Funding Innovation in H

Venture capital has played a major role in shaping many of the innovations that form our modern society, ranging from the ideas that spawned the tech giants to life-saving medications. In recent years, there has also been an explosion of venture investment in new areas of healthcare – namely digital health and tech-enabled healthcare services.   This course aims to provide some insight into the world of venture capital through a healthcare lens. We will explore a range of topics, from fund formation, to identifying an investment target, to negotiating and closing an investment, to managing growth, to achieving an exit. One class will focus on what makes venture investment different in healthcare than in other industries. All along the way, we’ll look at some notable successes and failures to learn how venture capital can create enormous value, and where – and why – it has come up short.   The course will conclude with a VC pitch session to give students the experience of presenting their ideas to real venture investors. Students will work in groups to create and present their pitches and will learn what this experience is like for both entrepreneurs and investors. Afterwards, the investors will also discuss their experiences in the field and provide some insights to students from a career perspective.

FOOD LAW AND POLICY

This course will expose students to the complex set of laws, regulations, and policies that form the foundation of food
access, availability, safety, and quality in the United States and in many countries around the world. In the first
module, students will examine the evidence linking food consumption patterns to population health and they will be
able to describe how contemporary food systems and the globalization of food production processes have shaped
health outcomes in developed and developing countries. The second module marks the beginning of an in-depth
examination of the federal laws, judicial opinions, and policies that have created these food systems. Students will
learn how food laws and regulations are used as a means of reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs)
and obesity-related illnesses through legal mechanisms such as taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages or restrictions
on fast food or junk food advertising and sponsorship. They will learn how food policies such as the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for Women,
Infants, and Children (WIC) have been used to address food insecurity and examine the evidence about the
performance of these programs in relation to food insecurity and related health outcomes. Finally, students will
examine the contents of policies such as the FDA’s Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA) and the Bioterrorism
Act of 2002 to develop an understanding of how laws are used to ensure the safety of the food supply both
domestically and abroad.

SEM IN MOVING IMAGE & REL

The Graduate Seminar in Moving Image is a forum for concentrated discussion of the issues underlying an expanded view of moving image practice today.  What is at stake when we endeavor to use this time-based medium in 2020? We will use your particular artistic production as starting points for navigating larger questions surrounding language, space, time and meaning. At the heart of the seminar will be the belief that theory and practice are inseparable. Therefore, we will be reading contemporary theory as we experiment with the making of lens and non-lens-based images. We will explore a wide range of artistic uses of the moving image as well as its use in the larger societal context, (films, movies, television, TikTok, etc.), as the basis for speculating about new ways of working with the moving image. The seminar will be a supportive environment for students to develop ideas and explore applications in dialogue with the group. Participants will support each other in formulating and refining the thought processes behind their work, and situating their practices within larger contexts of cultural production.

Race, Public Policy, and the Social Dete

RACE PUB POL & SOC DETER

This course is designed to advance the standard public health law discourse by placing the study of the law in the context of race and key social determinants of health. Traditionally, public health law has focused on legal issues that arise when governments exercise their authority to regulate individual and private behavior in order to promote and preserve the public’s health. While this approach is broad and offers ample opportunity to explore the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution, it can lack detailed treatment and exploration of public policies that create the context in which courts are rendering decisions about the scope of government authority. Moreover, the emphasis is on balancing the state’s interest versus the individual’s interest in relation to communicable disease control and reproductive health services, topics firmly within the purview of public health.   This course will expose students to the complex set of laws, regulations, and policies that shape access to education, housing, employment and a host of other social determinants, specifically through the lens of race. From the Head Start Program, to the Fair Housing Act, to Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, students will develop a concrete grasp of the meaning and operationalization of the oft-used term “systemic racism and discrimination”. In the first module, students will examine the evidence linking US education and housing policies to population health outcomes and learn how legislation and court decisions have shaped access to these upstream determinants on the basis of race. The second module marks the beginning of an in-depth examination of food and anti-poverty laws through the same lens. Students will examine how race has influenced the design of these policies and how the court’s interpretation of their scope and meaning has either diminished or enhanced access to nutritious food or financial supports essential to maintain and promote health. In the third and final module students will develop an understanding of how civil rights laws and litigation has contributed to ongoing efforts to overcome the badges and incidents of slavery.

Applied Geopolitics: Risk Analysis

Geopolitics-Risk Analysis

The course introduces students to political risk analysis risks by exploring three key concepts and related frameworks for understanding this phenomenon at the international, country, and sectorial levels respectively: G-ZERO, J-Curve, and state capitalism. The course also equips students with key qualitative and quantitative techniques for doing political risk analysis, including the identification of top risks, fat tails, and red herrings, as well as the construction of political risk indices, models, and game-theory simulations. In addition, these concepts and techniques are further applied to analyzing and forecasting current, real-world problems and business concerns, such as market entry or portfolio investment allocation. These concepts and techniques are further practiced in the course practicums, which include interactive activities that invite students to grapple with the challenges of identifying and forecasting the range of outcomes of current, real-world risks as those come up at the time of the course. In the process, the course explores a range of political-risk topics on the macro- and micro-economic impacts of geopolitics—including issues of international and civil war, international trade, unconventional conflict, and a shifting global political order—as well as of politics at the national and sub-national level, including elections and political transitions, social unrest, the social and political drivers of economic and investment policies, and emerging vs developed markets dynamics.

Microeconomics for Policy Analysis II

Microecon & Policy Analysis II

This is a core economics course for the MPA in Environmental Science and Policy. The course explores the use of the tools of economic analysis in the discussion and evaluation of environmental policies. It builds on the microeconomic framework developed in Microeconomics and Policy Analysis I and extends it in a few directions. First, we deepen the discussion of theoretical issues particularly relevant for the analysis of environmental policies, such as externalities and public goods. Second, we explore how the theoretical concepts covered can be measured and used in actual environmental policy, and discuss real world examples of such applications. And finally, we discuss some aggregate implications related to – and the available evidence on – the two-way relationship between natural resources and economic growth. The objective of the course is to provide students with the necessary background for an understanding of the logic underlying the economic perspective on environmental policies. This is important to develop the skills necessary to conceptualize the trade-offs implicit in such policy decisions and to give a glimpse of the tools available to evaluate such trade-offs. As a result, it also helps build knowledge useful in a critical reading of policy proposals and evaluations in the environmental field.
