CRP 6220 - Planning Policy and Analysis

Spring. 3 credits.

I. Azis.

The course is designed to familiarize students with the essence of planning models and equip them with analytical tools to undertake a practical quantitative policy and planning analysis. Two categories of models to be discussed are: (1) economy-wide models that capture complete interactions between economic and social indicators such as income distribution and poverty; and (2) non-Bayesian decision-making models that combine intangibles and subjective judgments with statistical data and other tangible actors, and that can also capture feedback influences.
