COMPARATIVE POLITICS SURVEY I

This is the first course in the two-semester sequence surveying covering foundational research in comparative politics across the developed and developing world. The course is designed for Ph.D. students preparing for comprehensive exams and who intend to conduct research relating to comparative politics, and has two core objectives. The first objective is to expose students to a range of arguments organized around questions motivating major research agendas in comparative politics. The second objective is to expose students to processes of theorizing, hypothesis formation, and testing and to strengthen students’ analytical skills in evaluating and critiquing political science research. It should go without saying that these two classes cannot exhaustively cover the many important works, topics, and methodologies in the field. The Fall semester of this sequence will primarily focus on citizen-level and politician-level behaviors, while the Spring semester will focus on more macro-level institutions and applications of the building blocks covered in this course. However, it is not necessary to take the classes in a particular order.

The Covid-19 Pandemic: Virology, Public

This course will offer a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the global Covid-19 epidemic.  We will consider the epidemic from multiple perspectives, including: the historical role of epidemics in human history; the basic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2; the basic virology of SARS-Cov-2; the nature and causes of zoonotic diseases; the efficacy of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) to control the epidemic; a comparative analysis of control measures in different countries; the economic and humanitarian consequences of the epidemic and ways to meliorate the crisis; the economics of vaccine development; and the role of international cooperation and global health institutions. Students will gain skills in reading advanced journal articles in a range of health-related disciplines (epidemiology, medicine, virology, ecology, economics, innovation policy, and international relations).  Students will learn to manipulate the basic S-E-I-R model in order to analyze the dynamics of an infectious disease such as Covid-19, and will choose one country as their case study to follow through on several short assignments.  Students will also gain mastery in collecting and managing epidemiological data on a fast-changing epidemic. The course assignments will include 2 problem sets on basic epidemiology (Excel-based modeling), three brief writing assignments on a country case study, and one final paper.

Beyond Crises in Latin America Finan

Even before the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, Latin America had experienced a series of economic crises that had regularly punctured the region's growth path. Do those crises tell us anything about how the region will respond this time? While the precise contours of the region's near-term outlook remain unclear, this seminar is premised on the notion that a full understanding of the region's post- pandemic outlook requires grappling with the recurrent crises of the past two and a half decades. This seminar will focus on the region's three largest economies first by examining three pivotal moments: Brazil's crisis of 2003, Argentina's crisis of 2001 and Mexico's peso crisis of 1994 and then by using each of the historical episodes as a basis to analyze the current and post-pandemic outlook for each of the economies� Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. We will examine each episode with particular focus on the perspective of institutional investors as well as the role that financial markets played in precipitating the crises and in shaping the economic aftermath. The instructor has spent more than two decades on Wall Street working closely with institutional investors as well as policy makers in the region in his capacity as chief Latin American economist and will draw on his experiences. A special focus will be placed on how research is conducted in financial institutions Guest lecturers, including institutional investors, will also be invited to provide students with an opportunity to learn from financial market participants who are grappling with the issues being explored in class.

Economic Theory of Climate Change

Econ Theory of Climate Ch

The dramatic rise of the world's population in the last two centuries, coupled with an even more dramatic acceleration of economic development in many parts of the world, has led to an unprecedented transformation of the natural environment by humans. In particular, on account of the greenhouse effect, global climate change has emerged as an existential problem, unrivaled in its potential for harm to life as we know it. The aim of this course is to examine the economics of climate change in a systematic fashion, with an emphasis on economic theory. Topics of coverage can include welfare economics, the theory of dynamic games, dynamic commons problems, club theory, hold up, and endogenous treaty emergence.

BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS

Prerequisites: Completion of 1st year graduate program in Economics, or the instructor's permission. The standard model of economic behavior describes a perfectly rational, self interested utility maximizer with unlimited cognitive resources. In many cases, this provides a good approximation to the types of behavior that economists are interested in. However, over the past 30 years, experimental and behavioral economists have documented ways in which the standard model is not just wrong, but is wrong in ways that are important for economic outcomes. Understanding these behaviors, and their implications, is one of the most exciting areas of current economic inquiry. This course will study three important topics within behavioral economics: Bounded rationality, temptation and self control and reference dependent preferences. It will draw on research from behavioral economics, experimental economics, decision theory, psychology and neuroscience in order to describe the models that have been developed to explain failures of the standard approach, the evidence in support of these models, and their economic implications.

Quantitative Analysis I for Internationa

This survey course introduces students to the fundamentals of statistical analysis. We will examine the principles and basic methods for analyzing quantitative data, with a focus on applications to problems in public policy, management, and the social sciences. We will begin with simple statistical techniques for describing and summarizing data and build toward the use of more sophisticated techniques for drawing inferences from data and making predictions about the social world. The course will assume that students have little mathematical background beyond high school algebra. Students will be trained on STATA. This powerful statistical package is frequently used to manage and analyze quantitative data in many organizational/institutional contexts. Because each faculty member takes a somewhat different approach to teaching this course, students should examine each professors syllabus to understand the differences.

Systemic Corruption in Post-Soviet Natio

Systemic Corruptn: Post-Soviet

In Russia and certain other countries of the Post-Soviet Union, corruption is systemic. Corruption, defined as the abuse of public trust and power for private gain, is institutionalized in government at the national, regional and local level. Formal government decision-making processes have been captured by informal networks of political and business elites who exert significant control over allocation of public resources. They utilize this control to make illegal financial gains with the support of government authorities and protection of the law. This course will analyze the political economy, power relationships, historical forces and cultural factors that have engendered systemic corruption in post-Soviet countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Moldova, and others. We will identify characteristics that are common to systems in this region based on the legacy of Soviet one-party rule, state control of the economy and central planning. We will also distinguish the different types of corrupt systems that have emerged in the regions and identify what has helped certain countries in the region move beyond obstacles of the Soviet legacy more effectively. To achieve a deep understanding of post-Soviet corruption, we will examine the problem from an inter-disciplinary perspective. The course will include a data-based evidentiary approach to examining the causes of corruption and developing innovative policy solutions.

Human Rights in the Western Balkans

Human Rights-Western Balkans

This Human Rights practicum course focuses on the Western Balkans of the Former Yugoslavia in a contemporary context. The course focuses on war crimes and their respective consequences that have occurred during the most recent Balkan Wars 1991-1999 in the Former Yugoslav states and will include a detailed review and examination of human rights policies and practices carried out by international, regional and national bodies, laws, organizations, frameworks of transitional justice and evaluative tools employed in an effort to stabilize a post-war, post-Communist, post-conflict scenario. The course will present and examine in detail policies and practices deployed by international and national state structures to address the legacies of war crimes and the emergence of new human rights issues that are currently present in the Former Yugoslav space. The course will require students to prepare a 10-page paper on a human rights issue in the region, analyze the issues, review implementation to date and recommend policy initiatives that will address the problem (75 percent of the grade). Students are expected read weekly assignments and regularly participate and attend the class, which will constitute 25 percent of their final grade. Failure to attend class without a justifiable explanation will be penalized by a reduction of one grade letter.
