INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL MARKETS
The course will acquaint you modern international capital markets. You can expect to learn a substantial amount of up-to-date detail and some useful theory. Specifically, we will survey global markets for credit, equity, foreign exchange, foreign exchange derivatives, futures, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps and asset backed securities. In each case, we will learn the highlights of payments and settlement, documentation, regulation, applications for end-users, related economic theory and pricing models. The class will cover options and asset pricing theory; however, the treatment will be informal and designed to help develop intuition. One lecture each will be devoted to international banking (with an emphasis on changing capital regulation), investment banks, and hedge funds.

INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMNT & DEV
Key question: How to harmonize the diverse objectives of private investors, public sector officials, multilateral institutions and other key actors in the development of international infrastructure projects. This course will examine the principles underlying global infrastructure investment and explore effective strategies to encourage development of facilities for transportation, water, energy, healthcare and education. The classes will focus primarily upon three or more specific case studies of recent projects. Subjects of examination will include Linha Quatro of the Metrô de São Paulo, the Kenya-Uganda Rift Valley Railway and the Guangdong Province water system. The projects will be examined from the perspectives of financial investors, industrial operators, creditors, including commercial banks and multilateral institutions, government policymakers and the public.

ELECTRICITY MARKETS
The electricity sector worldwide is changing more rapidly today than at any period since the inception of the industry. Billions of dollars of new investment will be required over the next decade to maintain and improve electricity service, particularly in emerging economies. Models of service delivery are changing, and the role of the traditional regulated utility continues to evolve. This class is designed to provide a full exposure to current issues across the electricity value chain, including both regulated and competitive sectors. In addition, it is intended to provide insights that are applicable to other industries, including infrastructure financing, maintaining competition in markets, structuring good governance arrangements, and promoting economic efficiency.

ENERGY & POWER FINANCING MRKTS
Prerequisites: Familiarity with Corporate Finance
The global energy industry is comprised of the largest and most interrelated set of businesses in the world. From its inception, the industry has grown dramatically to provide ever increasing amounts of energy and power to commercial, industrial and retail consumers around the world. Given its unique industry structure, specialized financing techniques have been developed to expand and/or complement conventional public and private financing alternatives. These specialized financing approaches have, in turn, allowed the energy industry to access an unprecedented range of capital sources to finance its increasingly complex and challenging business model.

APPL POLIT ECON OF POLICYMAKNG
The module will take a hands-on approach to the design, communication and political implementation of economic policies. Issues will include designing policy reforms; agenda-setting; choosing the timing of policy initiatives; big-bang versus gradual reforms; the use of research, expert committees and blue-ribbon commissions; agenda-setting and coalition-building; attaining and maintaining the credibility of policies and policymakers; announcing and communicating policy initiatives; the role of the ideology and beliefs of voters; and relationships with the media. With some academic literature as background, we will focus on the challenges of real-life policy reforms and the lessons they offer. Several examples will be taken from recent Latin American experiences with policy reform.

CURRENT ISSUES:ENERGY POLICY
Prerequisites: INAF U6072
The purpose of this course is: (1) to familiarize participants with six current issues in energy policy, (2) to better understand the interplay of policy and political factors that guide public sector decision-making, and (3) to improve skills for drafting memoranda to senior policymakers. The class will focus on U.S. energy policy, but explore policies in other countries as well. Sub-national, national and international issues will be examined. The five issues studied will be: Carbon tariffs; Solar net metering; Cyber attacks on the electric grid; Global energy governance; Energy jobs.

THE ETHNOGRAPHY OF SOUND
Prerequisites: the instructor's permission.
How does one live with sound and move within worlds of sound? How does one think with sound, and through sound? In pursuit of such questions the course explores: soundscapes, acoustic ecology, and soundwalks; historical listening, echoes of audible pasts, and resonances of auditory cultures; uncanny narrative effects of sonic forces in myth and literature; technological effects of repeated listenings in the age of electronic reproduction, ethereal transmissions, and audio-vision; sounds at the edges of listening with experimental music. Sound, chambers, noise, feedback, voice, resonance, silence: from the sirens of the Odyssey, to the captured souls of Edison's phonography, to compositional figures ala John Cage, to everyday acoustical adventures, if one were to really listen, closely, how might one write about sound? What/who might the listening subject be?

CLEAN ENERGY FINANCIAL INNOVATION
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.
