MICROECONOMICS & POLICY ANALYSIS II

MICROECON & POLICY ANALYSIS II

This is a core economics course for the MPA in Environmental Science and Policy. The course explores the use of the tools of economic analysis in the discussion and evaluation of environmental policies. It builds on the microeconomic framework developed in Microeconomics and Policy Analysis I and extends it in a few directions. First, we deepen the discussion of theoretical issues particularly relevant for the analysis of environmental policies, such as externalities and public goods. Second, we explore how the theoretical concepts covered can be measured and used in actual environmental policy, and discuss real world examples of such applications. And finally, we discuss some aggregate implications related to – and the available evidence on – the two-way relationship between natural resources and economic growth. The objective of the course is to provide students with the necessary background for an understanding of the logic underlying the economic perspective on environmental policies. This is important to develop the skills necessary to conceptualize the trade-offs implicit in such policy decisions and to give a glimpse of the tools available to evaluate such trade-offs. As a result, it also helps build knowledge useful in a critical reading of policy proposals and evaluations in the environmental field.

TOOLS & PRINCIPLES FOR MANAGING IN THE I

The course takes an innovative approach to media and high tech -- bringing together many of the strands of the entire MBA program and applying them to one of the most dynamic of industry sectors--media, information and communications. It identifies the particular tools and principles for management in an economy that is based on the production and use of information and knowledge, and that is globally internetworked.  The course is useful for: • Students with interest in media, information, and technology, including for marketing and advertising • students who do not aim for a career in  this sector but want to understand and function in the information economy • non-business students who seek an overview of management more generally    The course covers an IMCT (information, media, communication, and technology) company's major functions (and by extension, of most companies): 1. The Producing function, including financing, HRM, technology management, and production management. 2. The Harvesting function, including demand analysis, marketing, distribution, pricing, and intellectual asset management. 3. The Control Function, including accounting and strategy. For each of these functions we assemble: • A set of MBA tools and analyses for managers, investors, and users • A set of societal perspectives on drivers, impacts, and issues.

THE DIGITAL ECONOMY: REGULATORY CONFLICT

This half-course covers a subject that is crucial for management success in the future: how government policy and regulation affect the online-based industry and its users, and how the industry in turn can affect government action. The skill to navigate this interaction is critical to management in the emerging information economy, as well as to forward-looking policy making. The course takes an innovative approach, bringing together several strands of the MBA program, together with public policy and technology management, and applies them to the media and information sector. It aims to give students the MBA tools to run or use digital and online businesses in an environment full of government initiatives and restrictions. The course is valuable for future entrepreneurs, investors, creators, marketers, advertisers, users, and public officials.

AUTHORITARIANISM

The vast major of human society has been governed by non-democratic regimes historically; even today, more than half the world's people live in autocracies. Many SIPA students come from countries whose governments are not democratic, and will work in institutions whose regimes are not democratic. Yet almost all of the literature of political science and on policy-making is devoted to democracy-its origins, development, processes, flaws and merits. This course examines instead how we should understand the regimes we collect together as "non-democratic," contesting the notion of "authoritarianism" as a useful analytical concept and exploring how we might understand policy-making processes in regimes that are stable, enduring, sometimes even dynamic and enlightened, but not democratic.

STDY GEN/SEXUALITY-ARAB WORLD

Prerequisites: the instructor's permission.
This course aims to familiarize graduate students with the different methods and approaches that US and European scholars have used to study gender and sexuality in
other
societies generally, and the way they study them in the context of the Arab World specifically. The course will also explore how Arab scholars have also studied their own societies. We will survey these different approaches, both theoretical and empirical, outlining their methodological difficulties and limitations. Readings will consist of theoretical elaborations of these difficulties and the methodological and empirical critiques that the field itself has generated in order to elaborate how gender and sexuality in the Arab World have been studied, or more accurately,
not
studied, and how many of these methodological pitfalls can be avoided.

DIDEROT & THE DISCIPLINES

One of the central concerns of Denis Diderot's famous Encyclopédie - the "machine de guerre" of the Enlightenment - was the organization of human knowledge. In this course, we will read Diderot's remarkably wide-ranging corpus as an occasion to think critically and historically about the organization of disciplines in his time and our own. On the one hand, the range of Diderot's polymathic writings indicates the extent to which our modern disciplinary divisions were not operative during the Enlightenment: his work ran the gamut from natural philosophy, to theater, to the novel, to moral philosophy, to political theory, to medicine, with significant overlap among these areas. On the other hand, he contributed to the elaboration of a number of modern disciplines, both through his reflection on knowledge in the Encyclopédie and through his forays into new modes of knowledge such as art criticism and anthropology. We will read his works both in their Enlightenment context and in the context of recent critical reflections on the organization of knowledge and the problems it poses in our own interdisciplinary, information- laden age.

ANTIQUARIANISM AND ARCHAEOLOGY

ANTIQUARIANISM & ARCHAEOL

This seminar explores the two forms of interest in the past that co-existed in European intellectual circles in the eighteenth-nineteenth century: Antiquarianism and Archaeology. The first form of engagement with the distant past is associated with the collector and the Wunderkammer, the combination of artefacts and fossils, gems and coins, all into one collection. The second form, emerged after the first, and was defined as a science. Both of these forms of engagement with the past came to be centered around the archaeological past of lands under the Ottoman empire, the Near East and Eastern Mediterranean, including Egypt, Mesopotamia and Anatolia as well as Greece and Cyprus. The seminar will consider Antiquarianism in its many guises beginning with antiquarianism in antiquity itself, turning back to the earliest records of collecting and cataloguing artefacts in the Ancient Near East and Egypt, as well as Greece and the Roman east. The seminar in turn explores antiquarianism and the development of the scientific discipline of archaeology, how it defined itself and set itself apart from its predecessor, focusing on the collecting and documentation of antiquities, the start of organized excavations, and the origins of the modern museum, all of which were part of the newly defined discipline, archaeology. Permission of instructor required.

EPHEMERAL ART

Works created or used for ephemeral occasions are a fundamental dimension of Renaissance and Baroque art. Triumphal arches and colossal statues, exuberant chariots and costumes, wine fountains and food sculptures, and transformative fireworks machines set the stage for royal pageantry, civic rituals, religious processions, and carnivals. These temporary productions, made of perishable materials, worked as a powerful experimental laboratory for artistic ideas and future lasting works. While very few remnants of these abundant and polymorphous creations survive today, textual and visual descriptions, diffused in printed versions, allow a reconstruction of this lost figurative world. The seminar will explore the creations and uses of ephemeral art in the Early Modern period, discussing different cultural contexts in Europe and the New World. Particular attention will be given to the materials and processes of production, the modes of display and the conditions of reception, as well as to the pageantry and performative aspect.
