    Prerequisites: AEM 2240 /AEM 2241 , AEM 2225 , or equivalent.

    J. Tobin.

    This course considers the ways in which the tools of finance are used to address environmental challenges and how market mechanisms can be used to ensure the long-term sustainability of ecosystems. Following an introduction to the prevailing environmental policy framework, the course explores the uses of such products as debt-for-nature swaps, green bonds, structured notes, and environmental impacts bonds, and illustrates both their potential and their limitations through a review of market transactions. The course also explores how investment decisions can influence environmental outcomes and the role that sustainable asset management strategies can have in achieving desired conservation objectives.

    Outcome 1: Understand how the tools of finance can be used to address societal challenges such as ensuring the long-term sustainability of ecosystems.

    Outcome 2: Recognize opportunities to leverage the power of the investment markets to achieve particular outcomes by identifying potential cash flows inherent to preserved or sustainably-managed ecosystems.

    Outcome 3: Critically examine proposed investment blueprints and assess their potential to achieve desired conservation outcomes.

    Outcome 4: Propose ways in which financial products and services may be used to better manage environmental risks and deliver both financial and environmental returns.

    W. P. Schulze.

    Behavioral economics integrates psychology and economics by identifying systematic anomalies in decision making. These are now recognized to be an important source of error in business decisions, and they provide the foundation for both behavioral marketing and finance. The course compares rational choice theory with behavior both in lecture and through a series of economics experiments in which students face situations that are likely to lead to anomalies such as “the winner’s curse,” the status quo bias, hyperbolic discounting, and bias in assessing risks. Students have the opportunity to evaluate their own decision making.

    Spring. 3 credits.

    Prerequisite: Intermediate Microeconomics course such as AEM 2600 , PAM 2000 , ECON 3030 , or equivalents.

    N. H. Chau.

    The art of thinking strategically puts outdoing one’s adversary at the core of the decision-making process, while anticipating that the adversary is doing exactly the same thing. Businesses make investment decisions and innovate products in anticipation of the reaction of their rivals; managers make pay contingent on peer performance, taking into account the reaction of their subordinates and superiors; national trade policies are formulated based on whether trading partners are committed to make credible concessions. This course introduces and explores the use of game theory to understand these interactions; students are expected to work with a balanced dose of both theory and relevant case studies. The objective of the course is to facilitate students’ ability to think strategically on firm level issues (e.g., pricing, advertising wars, product differentiation, and entry deterrence) and strategic policy interaction in international economic relations (e.g., trade wars and the arms race).
