INAF U6016x and y Cost-Benefit Analysis 3 pts. This course aims to provide an introduction to the basic principles of cost-benefit analysis, i.e., the economic appraisal of public investment projects, expenditures, programs, and regulations. I will begin with a relatively brief review of the techniques of financial appraisal (i.e. cash flow analysis) of projects, since similar techniques are used in most cost-benefit analysis exercises. However, while a financial analyst for a private, profit--making entity focuses only on the net cashflows the entity receives from a project, the cost-benefit analyst has to consider a proposal's economic costs and benefits from a societal perspective. This course should be most directly relevant for those who intend to pursue careers in the public sector as analysts/applied economists with governmental agencies, public authorities, multilateral institutions, or research institutes/think-tanks.

INAF U6027y Ethical Issues in Management Not offered in 2012-2013. This course examines ethical issues in management, in connection with two long identified and perpetually discussed mainstays of human action, sensitivity and rationality. In traditional western philosophy, these have often been called passion and reason; in modern behavioral science, they are often called affect and cognition. The terms, however, are used variously interchangeably; and much management-related social science speaks commonly today of sensitivity and rationality. In particular, such science has labored extensively over the twin problematic phenomena of insensitive officials and irrational choices. SIPA: Management.
INAF U6053y Creating a Social Enterprise 3 pts. The course will focus primarily on the knowledge and skills required to launch a social enterprise. The class will include an overview of Social Enterprises around the globe and will look at various enterprise models (for profit, non-profit) and their role in the broader market economy. Class time will focus on the analysis of Case Studies and the vetting of real social enterprise business plans. The course will center on a Group Project where teams of three (3) will work together to build a plan for launching their own, new Social Enterprise. In the process, students will learn how to define, design, market, sustain and scale their concept. At the end of the course, students will submit a formal business plan and budget and will present their plan to a panel of experts in the field. SIPA: EPD. SIPA: Management.

It is designed to appeal to students who are considering entrepreneurial opportunities or those who are considering careers in impact investing. Finding the resources to launch and grow a social purpose venture is the first, and perpetual, challenge faced by social entrepreneurs. How they find that money often creates tension between social outcomes, donor expectation, financial sustainability, and profitability. This course will start with the question of "What is the Real Cost of Capital?" and reflect on how all investors - whether foundation, social investor, or investment bank - impact operations and business and program decisions.

INAF U6226y Leadership and Innovative Policy Making In this course the students will (a) master key themes in leadership development and policy making, (b) increase their own leadership and policy making capacities through reflection and discussion and (c) evaluate the leadership record of an "extraordinary" policy leader. The goal of the three-pronged approach is to prepare students for understanding and exercising leadership-executive ability in government, non-governmental organizations, and business. Leadership is the ability to influence people towards achieving a goal. An important part of the SIPA mission is to prepare students for leadership and innovative policy making. In this course we will examine leadership and policy making "out of the box" as well as "inside the box" by having students tackle several key themes and some specific questions. The themes include issues such as, are leaders born or made? What kind of leaders design and implement "good" versus "bad" policies? Can "nudging" and "innovative policy making" substitute for forceful policy intervention? To what extent are economic and political outcomes products of leadership as opposed to external environment?

INAF U6256y Social Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development 3 pts. The purpose of this course is to introduce, critically analyze and experiment with cutting-edge ideas in social entrepreneurship from the "North" (US, Europe) and the "South" (Africa and Asia) with a special focus on initiatives and enterprises focused on sustainable development and poverty reduction. Making markets work for the poor requires an understanding of social entrepreneurship and social enterprises in the developing world as strategies and untapped opportunities to add value to society by harnessing market forces that blend human, financial and social capital resources to achieve replicability and scale in every development domain, such as mobile health technologies, microfinance, renewable energy, water, education, fair trade, and agriculture. This course adopts both theoretical and applied cases, team-based field experiments and distinguished guest speakers in the teaching process to ensure that students gain an understanding of their roles as change makers and social entrepreneurs, and feel equipped to handle the complexities involved in designing hybrid models for efficient service delivery to the world's poor (i.e., through public spending, development assistance, philanthropy and private or social sector "impact" investments).

INAF U8092y Government use of financial instruments 1.5 pts.Not offered in 2012-2013. The menu of financial instruments available to governments is large and growing. Borrowing, asset sales through equity issuance or trade sale, leasing, asset acquisition and a wide range of derivatives are widely used. The opportunities provided by financial markets can greatly expand what a government can do to serve its public. They can also allow governments to take action, intentionally or through misunderstanding of the implications of the steps they are taking, to impose large costs on the public. In this course we will bring together the objectives of governments and the opportunities provided by a range of financial activities and explore the relationship between the two. The emphasis will be on practical decision-making in the environment in which officials operate with examples from experience in both industrialized countries and emerging markets. Students should expect to sharpen their understanding of how to think broadly about financial decisions in a public sector setting, not to learn cookbook approaches to specific transactions. Students should have basic coursework in economics, quantitative analysis and corporate finance or other finance courses that make concepts like present value, mean-variance and option value familiar. SIPA: IFEP- Finance. SIPA: Management. SIPA: Short Courses.

PUAF U4400y Campaign Management in the United States 3 pts. Together we are going to learn how to plan, manage, and execute the major elements of a modern American campaign using skills that can be applied to all levels of the electoral process. Although this is a course focusing on practical competence, empirical political theory and relevant political science will be applied to our work. Guest lecturers, simulations, and additional materials such as videos and handouts will augment the course. When we are done, you will know what you need to do, and where you need to turn, in order to effectively organize an election campaign. The curriculum is ambitious, specialized, and task-specific. This is not a course in political science, but rather a hands-on, intensive training seminar in campaign skills. By May, you will be able to write a campaign plan, structure a fundraising effort, hire and work with consultants, plan a media campaign (both paid and unpaid), research and target a district, structure individual voter contact, use polling data, understand the utility of focus groups, write press releases, conduct advance work on behalf of your candidate, manage crises, hire and fire your staff, and tell your candidate when he or she is wrong. My aim is to make you competent and eminently employable in the modern era of advanced campaign technology. For the purposes of this class, you will design a campaign plan for the 2005 NYC Mayoral race. To make this more interesting (and realistic), you will be provided with information and situations throughout the semester that will require you to plan, anticipate, and adapt your campaign plan to the changing realities inherent to every campaign.

With New York City as a laboratory for housing policies and programs which have addressed all of these issues in some way over time, the class will compare and discuss other cities which have experienced one or more of these issues and examine how well their policy and program responses successfully addressed them. Other cities to be discussed include New Orleans, Liverpool, Belfast and Leipzig. Students will examine how public policies and programs can both create these problems in cities and also how they can work to resolve them; what tools are most effective; what constraints must be considered; and the impact of unintended consequences.

SIPA U6010y Enterprise Strategy for Leaders This course trains managers or analysts to look outward to the environment and inward to the enterprise's resources and capabilities and operating policies. As such, we describe aenterprise's strategy as the formulation of "competitive strategy", "corporate strategy" and "organizational strategy". Competitive strategy involves identifying structurally attractive industries and developing the most attractive position within that industry, where attractiveness is driven by absolute conditions combined with the resources and capabilities the firm brings to that position. Businesses create value by operating in positions within industries that, by virtue of the characteristics of industry, the position and the firm, are defensible from the encroachment of competitors and deterioration of the environment as a whole. Corporate strategy focuses on the management and understanding of multi-product, multi-location and multi-business firms. Although we devote limited time to the topic, organizational strategy involves developing policies within each functional area of the business unit that are integrative and consistent with the firm's plan for creating value The main orientation of the course is on for profit firms. Understanding the perspective of business is critical for allocentric policy making. The concepts will be translated to a non for profit setting as opportunities for connections arise and we will cover a non for profit case near the end of the term. Also, the concepts presented in the course carry over well to the social enterprise space. SIPA: MIA- Management. SIPA: MPA- Management. SIPA: Management.
SIPA U6320y Budgeting and Financial Management for Government 3 pts. Public sector budgeting in the US (and arguably at a global level) has become an increasingly contentious issue since the 2008 crisis and subsequent recession. This course will introduce students to the field of budgeting and fiscal management in the public sector. We will look at the special challenges of developing a budget within a political environment and the techniques used for management control. Additional topics may include taxes and other revenues, expenditure control, debt management, audits and productivity enhancement. Lectures will also discuss current events related to public sector budgeting on the local and state level. The course seeks to provide students with practical knowledge on budgetary decision-making. Drawing from both theory and case studies, students will acquire practical skills to help them design, implement and assess public sector budgets. The practical nature of the subject requires active participation from students, meaning they will engage in hands-on assignments such as periodical debates, case analyses and a budget cycle simulation. By the end of the semester, students are expected to a) conduct in-depth budgetary analyses, and b) formulate policy recommendations. SIPA: MIA- Financial Management. SIPA: MPA- Financial Management.
