SOVEREIGN RISK
This course will provide a multifaceted view of sovereign risk centered on the assessments of credit rating agencies. It will focus on the interplay of economic, institutional, fiscal, financial, market and geopolitical factors that influence sovereign credit quality. The course will also examine the interplay between sovereign and country risk. It will closely examine pivotal periods when sovereign risk spiked—namely, the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the 2008 global financial crisis. Students will critique credit rating agency methodologies and ratings, and they will participate in mock credit rating committees. At the conclusion of the course, students will: (1) be conversant on the interplay of factors influencing sovereign credit risk (2) be capable of taking a substantiated, forward-looking opinion of the credit quality of emerging and advanced country governments. The instructor will draw on his experience gained over three decades, mostly as a sovereign risk analyst and manager for Moody’s Investors Service in New York City and Singapore and also as an emerging market economist at the Institute of International Finance in Washington, DC; he is currently the president of The Korea Society in New York City.

CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE
This seminar asks how the study of very recent literature relates to literary scholarship in general. Are there stable critical values or methods that should apply to our study of J. M. Coetzee as much as Miguel de Cervantes? How might one combine an interest in the contemporary with historicist method? Does it make a difference—and, if so, what kind of difference—if the authors one studies are alive and still writing? What are the points of connection between academic scholarship and journalistic or para-academic criticism? Since her possible objects of study are so numerous and diverse, what is the specific expertise of the academic specialist in contemporary literature?
The first two seminar meetings focus on the question of how we define “the contemporary” as a temporal category and field of study. From that point, we take two main tracks. First, four clusters of classes, each dedicated to a major contemporary author: China Miéville, Maggie Nelson, W. G. Sebald, and Claudia Rankine. By sampling four literary oeuvres, three of them still in formation, we will explore (among other topics) issues of canon-formation, genre, identity, class, translation, and the relation between literary parts and wholes. Between each cluster, we will pause for classes focused on selected methodological problems of peculiar relevance to contemporary literature: the value of literary sociology; the problem and pleasure of working on and with living authors; and the possibility of doing literary criticism differently—that is, for different audiences and according to different values.

QUESTIONS-ANTHROP THRY I:TEXTS
Presents students with critical theories of society, paying particular attention to classic continental social theory of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. We will trace a trajectory through important French and German writings essential for any understanding of the modern discipline of anthropology: from Saussure through Durkheim and Mauss, Marx, Weber, and on to the structuralist elaboration of these theoretical perspectives in Claude Lévi-Strauss, always bearing in mind the relationship of these theories to contemporary anthropology. We come last to Foucault and affiliated theorists as successors both to French structuralism and to German social theory and its concerns with modernity, rationality, and power. Throughout the readings, we will give special care to questions of signification as they inform anthropological inquiry, and we will be alert to the historical contexts that situate the discipline of anthropology today.

APPLIED ECONOMETRICS
Prerequisites: SIPA U6501
The goal of this course is to enable students to evaluate the policy relevance of academic research. While academic research frequently considers treatments that approximate a potential public policy, such prima facie relevance alone does not inform policy. In particular, public policy is predicated on the credible estimation of causal treatment effects. For example, although researchers frequently document the strong correlation between years of schooling and better health, this tells us surprisingly little (and arguably nothing) about the health effects of public tuition assistance, compulsory school laws, or any other program that raises educational attainment. Policies guided by statistical correlations - even the regression-adjusted estimates that dominate the academic literature - will frequently have unintended and even perverse real-world effects. Policymakers must distinguish between causal estimates that should inform policy design and statistical correlations that should not. The catch is that distinguishing correlation from causation in empirical studies is surprisingly difficult. Econometric technique alone does not provide a reliable path to causal inference. Applications of instrumental variables (IV) techniques, while wildly popular, arguably obscure sources of identification more often than isolating exogenous variation. Similar concerns apply to popular panel data and fixed effects (FE) models, which can eliminate certain unobservable sources of bias. Furthermore, causal claims by a study's author should be regarded with skepticism - frequently this is merely the marketing of a non-transparent statistical correlation. Put differently, when has a researcher portrayed his empirical result as a mere correlation when in fact he/she had identified a credible causal impact? A basic theme of the course is that identification strategy - the manner in which a researcher uses observational [real-world] data to approximate a controlled/randomized trial (Angrist & Pischke, 2009) - is the bedrock of causal inference. Econometric technique cannot rescue a fundamentally flawed identification strategy. In other words, econometrics and identifications strategies are complements in the production of causal estimates, not substitutes. Examples of appropriate econometric technique applied to compelling identification strategies will be described to illustrate this approach (most often from health economics), along with their implications for public policy.

TOPICS IN AMERICAN LIT STUDIES
What are scholars of American literature studying, talking about, and debating?
This course surveys some of the most influential recent critical works in American literary studies, with particular emphasis on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It is intended to build a framework for students interested in advanced study and research within the field of American literature and culture. We will ask how critical works are constructed, their methods and argumentation, what texts constitute their archive, and what questions animate their analysis. We will also attempt to situate contemporary critical scholarship in the context of more longstanding debates within the field. In addition to studying how a book of criticism is constructed, we will also consider other important scholarly genres such as the article, essay, book review, and conference paper. Particular areas of interest are the literary history of the present, institutional criticism, digital humanities, object oriented ontology or “thing theory,” the place of aesthetics within contemporary literary studies, eco-criticsm, queer and sexuality studies, and illness and disability. Readings will include

GENDER & DEV IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
This course is designed to introduce students to issues of gender and development in Southeast Asia in comparative context. Development debates are currently in flux with important implications for the practice and analysis of gender and development. Some argue for market-driven, neo-liberal solutions to gender equality, while others believe that equitable gender relations will only come when women (and men) are empowered to understand their predicaments and work together to find local solutions to improve their lives. Empowerment and human rights approaches are popular among development practitioners, particularly those concerned with gender equity. This course uses the context of development in Southeast Asia to critically engage with issues important to development planners, national leaders and women’s groups throughout Southeast Asia.
