The half-semester graduate course in Green Supply Chain Management will focus on the fundamental strategies, tools and techniques required to analyze and design environmentally sustainable supply chain systems. Topics covered include: Closed-loop supply chains, reverse logistics systems, carbon footprinting, life-cycle analysis and supply chain sustainability strategy.
Class sessions will combine presentations, case discussions and guest speakers. All students will work on a course-long team project that critically evaluates the environmental supply chain strategy of an industry or a publicly traded company. Grades will be based on class participation, case study assignments and the team project.

This course is a collaborative offering of Sana, Partners in Health, and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). The goal of this course is the development of innovations in information systems for developing countries that will (1) translate into improvement in health outcomes, (2) strengthen the existing organizational infrastructure, and (3) create a collaborative ecosystem to maximize the value of these innovations. The course will be taught by guest speakers who are internationally recognized experts in the field and who, with their operational experiences, will outline the challenges they faced and detail how these were addressed.
This OCW site combines resources from the initial Spring 2011 offering of the course (numbered HST.184) and the Spring 2012 offering (numbered HST.S14).

14.271 is a PhD-level course in industrial organization, introducing students to the basic building blocks of the field and exposing them to a variety of techniques. It is designed to start the process of preparing economics PhD students to conduct thesis research in the area. It is also intended to be of interest to doctoral students working in other areas of economics and related fields. The course integrates theoretical models and empirical studies.

This is a course in industrial organization, the study of firms in markets. Industrial organization focuses on firm behavior in imperfectly competitive markets, which appear to be far more common than the perfectly competitive markets that were the focus of your basic microeconomics course. This field analyzes the acquisition and use of market power by firms, strategic interactions among firms, and the role of government competition policy. We will approach this subject from both theoretical and applied perspectives.

This course explores how information technology is reshaping different dimensions of the U.S. labor market: the way work is organized, the mix of occupations, the skills required to perform in an occupation, economy-wide labor productivity, and the distribution of wages.

This is a discussion-based, interactive seminar on the development of information and communication technology in Sub-Saharan Africa. The students will seek to understand the issues surrounding designing and instituting policy, and explore the possible ways in which they can make an impact on information and communication technology in Africa.

This seminar examines efforts in developing and advanced nations and regions to create, finance, and regulate infrastructure and energy technologies from a variety of methodological and disciplinary perspectives. It is conducted with intensive in-class discussions and debates.

This course focuses on science and technology policy—it will examine the science and technology innovation system, including case studies on energy, computing, advanced manufacturing, and health sectors, with an emphasis on public policy and the federal government’s role in that system.

This course introduces students to a set of analytic tools and conceptual frameworks through which to assess the origins and evolution of the institutions that constitute modern capitalism. The course takes an inter-disciplinary political economy approach that draws insights from economics, sociology, political science, history, geography, science and technology studies, and law.

El libro aborda la integración de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en diferentes áreas de las ciencias económicas y la gestión empresarial, explorando sus impactos y beneficios. En la introducción, se destaca cómo la transformación digital redefine las estrategias organizacionales y fomenta la innovación continua, mejorando la capacidad de respuesta a las demandas del mercado​​. Metodológicamente, se utilizan estudios de caso y análisis de datos para ilustrar la aplicación de la IA. Los resultados muestran que, en la contabilidad, la IA automatiza tareas repetitivas, reduce errores y mejora la precisión, permitiendo a los profesionales centrarse en actividades estratégicas​​. En el ámbito financiero, los algoritmos de trading inteligente aumentan la velocidad y precisión de las transacciones, mejorando la competitividad y la liquidez del mercado​​. La gestión de riesgos se beneficia de modelos predictivos que anticipan posibles amenazas, mientras que el cumplimiento normativo se fortalece mediante el monitoreo automatizado​​. En términos de desarrollo sostenible, la IA optimiza la distribución de recursos y mejora la eficiencia energética, contribuyendo a políticas más verdes y equitativas​​. La conclusión resalta la necesidad de un enfoque ético y transparente en la implementación de IA, para asegurar decisiones justas y responsables​​.

During the fall of 2017, art educator B. Stephen Carpenter II began a residency at the MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST). He provided new perspectives on issues of access, privilege, and the global water crisis through a series of seminars, performances, and workshops. Carpenter’s seminars illustrated ways of disrupting systems of oppression and ways to increase access to potable water in politically marginalized communites in the United States and abroad.

This course is a survey of modern macroeconomics at a quite advanced level. Topics include the neoclassical growth model, overlapping generations, endogenous growth models, business cycles, incomplete nominal adjustment, incomplete financial markets, fiscal and monetary policy, consumption and savings, and unemployment. The course is also an introduction to the mathematical tools used in modern macroeconomics, including dynamic systems, optimal control, and dynamic programming.

This course is a survey of modern macroeconomics at a fairly advanced level. Topics include neoclassical and new& growth theory, consumption and saving behavior, investment, and unemployment. It also includes use of the dynamic programming techniques. Assignments include problem sets and written discussions of macroeconomic events. This course is recommended for students planning to apply to graduate school in economics.

This course uses the tools of macroeconomics to study various macroeconomic policy problems in-depth. The problems range from economic growth in the long run, to government finances in the intermediate run, and economic stability in the short run. Many economic models used today are surveyed.

This course provides an introduction to theory and data designed to meet the needs of students interested in economic science. It provides an introduction to consumer choice, the theory of the firm, and general equilibrium models, with an overview of the main results and tools used in studying these topics, both directly in economics and indirectly in various other fields.
