MGTECON 300: Growth and Stabilization in the Global Economy

This course gives students the background they need to understand the broad movements in the global economy. Key topics include long-run economic growth, technological change, wage inequality, international trade, interest rates, inflation, exchange rates, and monetary policy. By the end of the course, students should be able to read and understand the discussions of economic issues in The Economist, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, or the Congressional Budget Office.

MGTECON 340: Data Science for Environmental Business

Are you interested in clean tech and sustainability? Do you like working with data or plan to manage data scientists? Do you want to find a socially impactful job? If so, Data Science for Environmental Business is for you. Each week, we'll have a guest speaker from a utility, venture capital firm, clean tech startup, renewable energy developer, or some other sustainability-related business. We'll do a quantitative case study of one of the speaker's business problems, such as carbon footprint measurement, supply chain decarbonization, techno-economic analysis, where to site renewable energy facilities, how to value electricity storage, or predicting demand for electric vehicles. Then in the next class, we'll discuss the analytical decisions you made on the case study and the business implications of your results. We aim to draw a mix of students from the GSB, engineering, sustainability, data science, computer science, economics, math, and other fields. Students registering through the GSB should expect roughly standard MBA class workload. Students registering through non-GSB course numbers should expect a serious data science course where you'll learn and apply new methods. We hope to develop a pipeline of students working for the guest speakers and similar firms.

MGTECON 533: Economics of Strategy and Organization

The goal of this class is to combine economic theory and business practice to develop insights for business strategy and organization design. We will discuss strategies and organizations of companies, identify potential problems and explore potential solutions. Some of the topics to be covered will be why many established companies find it hard to innovate (and what strategies can mitigate those problems), business-model innovation, and what economic and practical problems arise when companies need to stop projects. The course will be based on a mixture of formal and informal cases.

MGTECON 602: Auctions, Bargaining, and Pricing

This course covers mostly auction theory, bargaining theory and related parts of the literature on pricing. Key classic papers covered in the course are Myerson and Satterthwaite on dynamic bargaining, Myerson on optimal auctions, and Milgrom and Weber's classic work, the Coase Conjecture results. We also cover a few more recent developments related to these topics, including dynamic signaling and screening. In some years we also cover topics in matching theory.

MGTECON 607: Methods for Applied Econometrics

The course provides an introduction to modern econometric methods for causal inference. We discuss classical randomized experiments as well as modern methods for experimentation. We also discuss observational methods for cross section settings, including matching, propensity score methods and doubly robust methods. We also cover methods for dealing with selection on unobservables, including regression discontinuity designs, instrumental variables. We also discuss methods for panel data settings including fixed effect methods, difference-in-differences and synthetic controls.
