This course provides students with tools and theoretical models from economics to analyze public policy challenges. Students will apply these tools and models across multiple policy domains, including education, health, social welfare, criminal justice, and the environment. Through problem sets, current event analyses, and team projects, students will navigate questions such as: How does policy design incentivize individual behaviors and choices? How should we weigh the potential benefits of regulation against the costs? What are the promises and pitfalls of market-based reforms in government? And, how can public programs effectively dismantle, rather than re-enforce, structural inequalities in society?
