Starting from the benchmark of rational expectations, where agents at all dates know the full state of the economy and know the structure that generated this state, the course presents several alternative models of imperfect information and expectations, and explores their implications for macroeconomic dynamics. These include: (i) models where agents know the structure but only exogenously observe part of the state (signal extraction and global games), (ii) models where agents do not know the structure but can learn about it (Bayesian learning), (iii) models where agents do not know the structure and use boundedly-rational mechanisms to form expectations (least-squares learning), (iv) models where agents only observe part of the state each date but choose which part (rational inattention), (v) models where agents choose when to observe the state (inattentiveness and sticky information), (vi) models where agents receive incomplete news today about the future state (news shocks). Applications will include consumption, business cycles, inflation, and monetary policy.

The purpose of this class is to introduce students to some current research topics in macroeconomics. A special focus will be on models used for monetary policy in general, but a special focus will how these models can explain (or be extended to explain) the recent economic turmoil in the US and the rest of the world. We will also devote some considerable attention to obtain policy conclusions for current policy makers. Finally we will use these models to understand the Great Depression in the US and abroad. There will be considerable focus on helping students to master the technical tools required to set up and solve dynamic general equilibrium models of the kind common in the modern business cycle literature. We will do this both by hand and via simulation methods using MATLAB.

ETHICS, VALUES AND JUSTICE

The purpose of this course is to examine the claims made by multiple stakeholders for use of the environment, both natural and built, and to determine how contention among them can be ethically resolved in the policy process. Over time, six major clusters of stakeholders have arisen, expressing environmentalist standpoints: three, including proponents of wilderness, ecosystems, and nonhuman species, have been called nonanthropocentric; and three, including proponents of conservation, environmental justice, and sustainability, have been called anthropocentric. Among them a diverse array of ethical quarrels has arisen, yet today the sustainability outlook appears to be ascendant in popular and public discourse. Claims made regarding greater or lesser use of both natural and human resources continue to be debated nonetheless. Many are related to the issues of whether present use should take into account past wrongful, often inter-racially prejudicial actions, and future-regarding, often inter-generationally beneficial actions. The course aims to examine specific principles, such as polluter pays for pollution, prior free informed consent, transboundary accountability, and common responsibility, which can be used to resolve ethical issues. Consideration is given to the possibility of both collective and individual ethical action, even in situations of corruption, including subtle forms involving campaign contributions with a pay-to-play aspect. The objective is to discover how such ethical problems can be managed in the public policy process.

We will explore various conceptions of nature and ecology in changing ideas of conservation, preservation, the Dust Bowl, the atomic age, growing environmentalism, and the current focus on biodiversity as one route to a sustainable society. We will look at how scientific information has been constructed and used in environmental debates over pollution and overpopulation and will question the utility of distinguishing between "first nature" (untouched by humans) and "second nature" (nature modified by humans). Along the way, we will address connections between environmentalism and nationalism, the relationship between environmental change and social inequality, the rise of modern environmental politics, and different visions for the future of nature.

COMPARATIVE URBAN POLICY

Studying developing cities, such as Johannesburg, Sao Paulo, and Shanghai, has never been more important. Over half of the world's population is now urban. As cities continue to expand, metropolitan areas around the globe face a growing number of challenges, including: sprawl, poor sanitation, poverty, pollution, corruption, and crime. This course in comparative urban policy will help you develop a keener understanding of these challenges. Our focus will be on how academics and analysts study and debate global developing cities. We will explore questions, such as: What accounts for the global pace of migration from rural to urban places in our time? What are the major challenges facing developing cities? What strategies do individuals, neighborhoods, and economic interest groups have available to influence, and to optimize their experiences in developing cities? How well are developing cities' urban governance and planning geared to resolve controversies and, where appropriate, implement effective remedies? What can we learn from innovative change initiatives?

POVERTY,INEQUALITY & THE ENVIR

Progress and Poverty (1879), by the American economist and philosopher Henry George, was a worldwide bestseller and major impetus to reform movements in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. George argued that owners of land and other natural resources--a small fraction of the population--gain most of the benefits of economic growth. They also withhold high quality resources from use, driving down wages and forcing economic activity to sprawl out onto marginal land. His remedy: "We must make land common property," not by nationalizing it, but by collecting the surplus (economic rent) by taxation, using the revenue for public benefit. See (www.schalkenbach.org/100-years-later.html.) Today, George's ideas powerfully influence both the field of ecological economics and the commons movement. (See www.onthecommons.org.) In this course we will read Progress and Poverty, examining how well George's ideas have stood the test of time. We will read excerpts from predecessors and contemporaries of George, including Adam Smith, David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, Karl Marx and Thorstein Veblen. We will also read modern authors, including economist Mason Gaffney and commons movement founder Peter Barnes. Topics we will cover include: Poverty, its definition and measurement. Inequality of wealth and income, and the relationship of inequality to poverty, wage levels, health, environmental destruction and "sustainability". Population size, age structure and geographic distribution. Economics of common resources. Economic rent and property rights. Economics of cooperation and competition. Inequality, trade and global sprawl. Growth and the boom and bust cycle. Economics of time--how do and should we make decisions about the future? Tax and other policy options.

PDE IN GEOMETRY

Parabolic flows have become a central tool in differential geometry in recent years. One of the main problems is to understand the formation of singularities. In this course, I will give an introduction to the subject, starting with the simplest example of the curve shortening flow in the plane. We will then discuss the main a-priori estimates for mean curvature flow in higher dimensions, such as the convexity estimate, the cylindrical estimate, and the pointwise gradient estimate. Finally, we plan to present recent results concerning singularity formation for fully nonlinear curvature flows.

MGMT TRAINING FOR DEVPT PROF

This course focuses on practical knowledge and skills relevant to the roles and job responsibilities of development practitioners - whether they work for multilateral organizations, government agencies, private sector firms, NGOs, or social ventures - that will be useful when in the head office or in field locations. The course is designed to build knowledge and skills that match the complex, interdisciplinary reality of development management. Successful development practice depends on the capacity of program and project managers to integrate different disciplines and interact effectively with numerous stakeholders, both inside and outside their own organization. Successful practice also requires the ability to develop and lead teams to overcome challenges and achieve results. These capacities are likely to become more important, and more highly valued, as the global development ecosystem continues to evolve. The course blends training in both "hard skills" and "soft skills" that are relevant to the demands of project management in complex, dynamic environments.
