MGMT 607: Applied Econometrics
- This course is designed to increase doctoral student's ability to apply models and statistical techniques to problems in management, marketing, employment, and policy. This class focuses on integrating and building knowledge of research design and causal inference with data management and analysis skills that students can apply the material immediately to their work. These are the types of skills and intuition early-stage researchers need to progress through the program and become a trusted independent researcher.
- This course is designed to familiarize students with the strategic management process by: (1) Introducing students to the different aspects of strategic decision-making from a business, corporate, and entrepreneurial perspective. (2) Exposing students to the complexity and ambiguity of strategic decision-making through the analysis of situations faced by real companies (case studies). (3) Studying competition from the perspective of top management (business plan).
MGMT 335: Launching New Ventures
- The objective of this course is not to provide a “recipe” for entrepreneurial success, since no such recipe exists. Rather, the goal is to provide you with a set of skills, tools and concepts that are broadly applicable across a wide range of entrepreneurial settings. Specific topics covered in the course include: generating ideas and determining whether they are true opportunities; understanding the process of developing and testing new business concepts; analyzing business models and industry trends; identifying and selling to appropriate target markets; marshaling the information and resources needed to pursue entrepreneurial ventures; and developing teams and alliances.

PLCY 210: Policy Innovation & Analysis; Undergraduate course, Summer 2014
- Fundamentally, this is a how to course on decision making, particularly in the public sector. The information and tools will be applied to substantive public policy topics with the idea that a good policy analyst can approach problems as a generalist and bring specific information from a given policy area to bear on the analysis. This course is designed to help students develop the skills required to define and critically analyze policy topics and problems, articulate relevant decision-making criteria for policy analysis, evaluate alternative policy solutions, and assess the means and costs of implementation.

PLCY 882: Advanced Panel Data Methodology for Public Policy/Health Policy Management; Graduate course, Fall 2014
- This course is designed to increase a student's ability to apply models and statistical techniques to problems in health, education, employment, poverty and other areas of population policy. The course objectives are to: (i) understand major techniques used to estimate causal relationships in quasi-experimental designs, with an emphasis on panel data; (ii) gain intuition and skills about the “art” of econometrics, including techniques for using complex survey data and dealing with missing data; and (iii) conduct original research applying the techniques covered in class (especially panel data techniques) to population related fields.
