This course introduces students to the principles of competitive strategy and organizational design. Competitive strategy deals with how firms compete in markets and what they can do to be profitable in the long run. Key topics include industry analysis, market entry and positioning decisions, and strategies for gaining a competitive advantage. Organizational design, in turn, is concerned with how firms organize themselves internally to best execute a strategy, whether at the level of individual jobs or of the entire organization. Central to organizational design are the assignment of decision rights (including centralization vs. decentralization of decisions), performance measurement, and incentives and rewards. The last pasture of the course is corporate strategy, which considers the scope of business activity and decisions to extend businesses either horizontally or vertically. Throughout, the course stresses the importance of fit between a firm’s internal organization and its strategy. The disciplinary focus is economics, with a particular emphasis on game theory and agency theory, both of which are introduced in the course. Occasionally, we will venture into psychology or behavioral economics as well. Classes consist of lectures and discussion of business cases and news articles, through which students practice applying theoretical concepts to real-life business problems.

The Advanced Macroeconomics course explores key macroeconomic theories. Students analyze critical topics such as economic growth, including the factors that drive long-term productivity improvements like technology, capital accumulation. Students also study business cycles, highlighting the impact of monetary policy, central banking, and interest rates on the economy. It also covers fiscal policy concerning government spending and taxation, as well as open economy topics like international trade and globalization. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to analyze macroeconomic data and apply theories to real-world situations.

The course is an introduction to the mathematical modeling of problems of fairness in resource allocation. Among the types of problems we will seek to analyze are: - How should the Red Cross distribute supplies among refugees in a refugee camp.- How should housemates split the rent when the rooms in the house they share have different features that each housemate values differently.- How should students in a dance class be organized in male-female pairs when each male student has preferences over female partners and each female student has preferences over male partners?- When a firm goes bankrupt, how should it liquidation value be divided among its creditors?

The course examines the role of the government in the economy, answering "why", "when", and "how" it should intervene. We begin with the "why", exploring normative approaches to resource allocation through welfare economics, distributive justice, and bargaining theory, establishing efficiency and equity as key government objectives. To address the "when", we analyze the benchmark case of competitive markets and the welfare theorems, followed by an exploration of various market failures (externalities, public goods, market power, asymmetric information). We then study the government's tools for intervention, both in markets (taxes and quotas) and beyond markets (regulations and institutions). Since these tools reshape incentives, the "how" focuses on understanding the responses of economic agents to government actions. Drawing insights from public finance, labor economics, and political economy, we distinguish between mechanical and behavioral changes and explore government failures. Finally, we integrate these elements to build a positivist framework for assessing the quality of public policies based on government normative objectives.

Game theory is a systematic study of strategic situations. It is a theory that helps us analyze economic and political strategic issues, such as behavior of individuals in a group, competition among firms in a market, platform choices of political candidates, and so on. We will develop the basic concepts and results of game theory, including simultaneous and sequential move games, repeated games and games with incomplete information. The objective of the course is to enable the student to analyze strategic situations on his or her own. The emphasis of the course is on theoretical aspects of strategic behavior, so familiarity with mathematical formalism is required.
