In the spring semester, new groups are formed to undertake analytic projects for real-world clients in government and nonprofit agencies. These teams, working under the supervision of faculty members, write a report analyzing an actual environmental policy or management problem faced by their clients. Again, projects selected will be relevant to the cohort's two earth systems problem themes.

This is a PhD-level course with the goal of familiarizing students with the theory, empirical methods, and some of the main topics of research in the intersection of demographic and development economics. The course plays a dual role. First, it provides technical background and general knowledge on issues that are relevant for those who want to develop independent research in the area. Second, it suggests questions that can potentially lead to dissertation topics. The first part of the course is organized around intergenerational aspects of family decisions and their consequences for development and the evolution of inequality. The main focus is on investments in children and fertility choice. In the second part, the course brings health into the picture and discusses how improvements in health interact with human capital and fertility decisions to determine population dynamics. The welfare evaluation of improvements in health is also explicitly discussed. The course is both theoretical and empirical, and uses the historical experience of the demographic transition as main motivation and guiding line.
Research work culminating in a creditable dissertation on a problem of a fundamental nature selected in conference between student and adviser. Wide latitude is permitted in choice of a subject, but independent work of distinctly graduate character is required in its handling.
