Global Energy Policy

Global Energy Policy gives an objective view of the world energy system and the energy transition. This course aims at providing students with the critical knowledge and skills to understand the energy trilemma and the trade-offs that governments have to make in designing energy policies. The course centers around sustainability but deep-dives into the technological and political economy constraints that inhibit a higher-paced transition. Consequentially, the course focuses on three elements. First, we evaluate the state of play, trends and projections in global energy, including key technologies, investment trends and subsidy policies. Second, we use case-based teaching to understand the drivers and constraints associated with national energy policy decision making. Cases are chosen to discuss the role of social contracts, firms, geopolitics and vested interests. They include, among others power sector reform in India; biofuel reform in the US and the EU; oil and natural gas geopolitics; oil & conflict; corruption in the energy sector; energy in China’s Belt and Road Initiative. And third, we discuss regional and global energy policies and players.

Environmental Economics

This course will cover economic approaches to optimally manage natural resources and the environment. We will start with a brief review why unregulated markets will lead to suboptimal environmental outcomes (market failures like externalities, public goods, and open access). The second part discusses different ways to intervene in the market (command-and-control, taxes, subsidies for innovation, pollution permits, and property rights). Economic concepts will be discussed using recent policy issues (climate change, green new deal, fossil fuel markets, carbon tax, interstate pollution regulation, and ecosystem services). The third and final part discusses how to empirically estimate the cost of environmental regulation on regulated industries as well as the benefits to consumers and firms.

MAKING ETHNOG:METHOD & WRITING

This course begins with two central and related epistemological problems in conducting ethnographic research: first, the notion that objects of scientific research are ‘made’ through adopting a particular relational stance and asking certain kinds of questions. From framing a research problem and choosing a ‘research context’ story to tell, to the kinds of methods one selects to probe such a problem, the ‘how’ and ‘what’ – or means and content – are inextricably intertwined. A second epistemological problem concerns the artifice of reality, and the nebulous distinction between truth and fiction, no less than the question of where or with whom one locates such truth. With these issues framing the course, we will work through some key themes and debates in anthropology from the perspective of methodology, ranging from subject/object liminality to incommensurability and radical alterity to the politics of representation. Students will design an ethnographic project of their choosing and conduct research throughout the term, applying different methodological approaches popular in anthropology and the social sciences more generally, such as participant observation, semi-structured interview, diary-keeping and note-taking.

Fundamentals of Environmental Economics

Fundamentals-Enviro Econ & Pol

Human societies do not exist separately from the natural environment, and the effects that humans have on natural systems have become so great that some scientists claim we have entered into a new epoch, the Anthropocene. In this course we shall look not only at how humans have altered the environment (impacts), but why societies have degraded the environment to their own detriment (behavior), how human behavior can be changed to protect the environment (policy), and how to tell whether the policies being adopted make humans better off (cost-benefit analysis). As the course is about the environment from a human perspective, we shall incorporate both the natural and social sciences into our framework. And as there are no prerequisites, we shall focus on basic concepts.

Green Buildings: Policies and Strategies

Green Buildings: Polcy & Strat

The construction and operation of buildings is the most environmentally damaging of all human activities in the United States and possibly the world. Coined in the late 80’s, so-called “green buildings” have the potential to largely eliminate negative environmental externalities and, with emerging design practices and technologies, even prove to be a restorative force for nature. As the largest consumer of energy on the planet, climate change will not be solvable without full-scale implementation of green building programs and policies. This 14-week course will offer participants practical tools to understand the benefits of green buildings and the barriers and policy and programmatic prescriptions that can deliver this vital solution at the necessary scale, scope and speed to implement 21c sustainable solutions.

Environmental Advocacy: From Interest to

Recognition, prevention and resolution of environmental problems depends on effective environmental advocacy, but what constitutes effective collective action? Advocates typically argue that they represent the collective interests of the general public and underrepresented groups, and use a variety of tactics to express themselves over a range of scale.  Government regulation and environmental science also often rely upon the product of advocacy to different degrees. How much has advocacy influenced environmental policy and political and civic engagement? This class examines the role of advocacy and science inside and outside the US environmental policy-making process, and addresses different approaches to environmental advocacy from the local to the global. Using both historical and contemporary sources, the course investigates how different groups experience the natural and built worlds, the interplay of citizens and science, the treatment of science by advocates and the media, and the role of advocates of various types in legislative, administrative and judicial decision making. It also takes a comparative approach of how other political systems (e.g. China) experience and responds to environmental advocacy. Along the way, we will explore connections between environmental change and social inequality, the rise of modern environmental politics, environmentalism and nationalism, and differing visions for the future of nature.

Financial Risk Management and Public Pol

Financial Risk Mgmt & Pub Pol

The development of quantitative risk management by the financial industry has gone hand-in-hand with that of quantitative approaches to financial regulation. The interactions between industry best practice and regulation have grown even closer since the global financial crisis, reflecting lessons learned (or not), the widening scope of regulation, and the now-central role of financial risk in the public policy agenda. This course introduces risk management principles in the context of public policy, presenting market, liquidity and credit risk measurement techniques employed by banks and other intermediaries, as well as their drawbacks and limitations. To help understand current approaches to risk management and regulation, the course studies financial market behavior in normal times and crises, the treatment of firms and debt in bankruptcy and how it differs for financial firms, the role of securitization in the financial system, and the roles of leverage and of market and funding liquidity in times of calm and distress.

Politics of Policymaking: Issues in Comp

Policymaking—the process by which political actors make decisions on a range of policy issues—is strongly influenced by context. The political environment in which policymakers interact plays a central role in shaping agendas, strategies, and policy choices. To be successful, policy professionals must be able to navigate a complicated set of political institutions that can constrain the menu of policy options, engage with multiple actors and stakeholders, and become familiar with dynamically changing technological and media environments. This course will give students important background on the way in which political contexts shape policymaking around the world. Throughout the semester, we will discuss how issues such as state institutions, corruption, mis/disinformation campaigns, and public health influence politics around the globe. By the end of the course, students should have an appreciation for the diversity of issues that shape policymaking in a range of countries, and a better understanding of various pressing global policy issues. This course has two closely related components. The first will provide students with important conceptual foundations on the politics that drive policymaking in a range of contexts. The theoretical concepts and analytical tools we will cover draw heavily on quantitative social science research. There are several reasons for that. First, the policy issues discussed in class have inspired excellent academic research that has produced important findings for us to discuss. Second, becoming familiar with quantitative analysis will add an important skill to students' toolkit. Finally, and relatedly, this will allow us to discuss exciting developments in the frontiers in data science and public policy, and specifically, the way in which ‘big data’ is likely to shape policymaking in a range of policy areas in the future. The second component will teach students a set of policy tools that are relevant to policy analysis and policymaking. These are concrete skills that students can apply throughout their careers in non-profits, within government, and in the private sector. A centerpiece of these skills is policy memo writing, in which students will learn to conduct concise, evidence-based policy analysis that diagnoses a policy problem, evaluates potential solutions, and conducts analysis of the relevant political institutions and actors. In addition to the material covered in the lectures, students will also attend a w
