GSBGEN 513: Using Technology and Market Interventions to Solve Social Problems
This course will focus on finding solutions to social problems enabled by technology, where market failures prevent the solutions from being provided by the private market, and where market-based interventions can be used to create the appropriate incentives for the solutions to be created and implemented. We will provide a conceptual framework that identifies strong candidates for market shaping interventions, and review a number of problem areas and categories of solutions. Students will research and evaluate potential technological solutions to social problems.
