| GSP5209 | Social Network Analysis and Complex Governance and Policy | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| The objective of this course is to familiarize students with the theory, research and methodological issues connected with social network analysis in public policy and management contexts. Upon completion of the course, students should have a good grasp of social network concepts and methods, and be able to use them to conduct research. Course begin by discussing network structure and formation from a general perspective: The course starts with the micro-structure of networks and the foundational concepts of graph theory, and then moves to the macro, including the famous small-world phenomena and other means of describing and characterizing large-scale structures. | |||||||||
| GSP5210 | Urban Mobilities | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | Korean | Yes | ||
| Transportation is far more than how we get around. It determines not only the shape of cities, but more importantly economic, social and environmental outcomes. Urban transportation problems will be explored in the context of general economic, social, and spatial trends. Substantive topics to be addressed include economic land use models and how they account for transport systems, behavioralist understandings of travel, private and public transportation, environmental problems, and the relationship between transport and social opportunity. Through the topic of urban transport students will learn key analytical skills in social science (both qualitative and quantitative), and advance their skill in critical thinking. | |||||||||

| GSP5215 | Experimental Methods in Public Administration | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course is indented to understand experimental methods in public administration, which received much attention as a means of evidence-based policy making. Students will learn theoretical background in experimental approaches such as lab, field, survey and quasi-experiment and will be trained to evaluate other scholarly works and apply to her research agenda. Detailed topics include theoretical underpinnings as well as topics in public administration which has been applied such as behavioral finance and decision-making in the public sector. | |||||||||
| GSP5216 | Quantitative Analysis of Administration | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | Korean | Yes | ||
| This course covers the basic quantitative analysis techniques for scientific analysis of administrative phenomena and policy problems. After studying the principles of statistical inference, students will be required to apply statistical techniques such as crosstabs, ANOVA, t-test, correlation, simple regression to actual data. Computer data processing will be emphasized. | |||||||||
| GSP5217 | Advanced Quantitative Analysis of Administration | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course will focus on the advanced quantitative analysis techniques for public administration and policy analysis. Topics include: multiple regression, path analysis, discriminant analysis, LISREL, logit and probit analysis, time-series analysis, DEA. Applications to various problems in public administration via statistical package are emphasized. | |||||||||
| GSP5218 | Big Data Based Policy Analysis | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| The purpose of this course is to examine the influence of big-data information on the citizen’s life and behavior and to understand the principle of big-data method in the process of designing, analyzing, and evaluating an effective public policy. Big data, characterized as volume, velocity, and variety, indicates any collection of mega-data sets so large and complex that it is difficult to process by using traditional relation-based data processing applications. In the course, big-data analysis will be discussed systematically, in association with the process of data mining, data analysis, data visualization, and drawing policy conclusions. Within the framework of the policy science process, a couple of group-based empirical projects will be pursued for designing, analyzing, assessing/evaluating population-based social or public programs to be or already implemented in the areas of citizens’ housing, transportation, health care, disaster management, and policy communication. Using the technique of big-data analysis, students are expected to be an expert to policy-related mega-data management and analysis. | |||||||||
| GSP5219 | Health Care and Social Policy Analysis | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| This course provides a basic understanding of the concept of health care and Social policy. By completing this course, students are expected to be capable of conducting following tasks: 1) conceptualizing ‘health care’ and ‘social policy’; 2) applying policy analysis to examine social issues – Labor, Health, Welfare, and Education; 3) understanding social, political and economic contexts of social policy and its implementation; and 4) evaluating public policy for social issues nation-wide and globally. We will use several real-world applications to make theories discussed in class more applicable to the students of the course. | |||||||||
| GSP5220 | Budgeting and Finance Management of Local Government | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | - | No | ||
| As a graduate student in Public Administration and Policy, we must understand how and where money (especially, taxes) is collected, for what purposes it is spent, whether it is spent efficiently and/or effectively, whether public money is equally (or equitably) distributed, how to measure efficiency and equity, and how income is re-distributed. Public finance helps us to understand and analyze how public policies and programs are formed, implemented, terminated, and evaluated. This course aims to provide graduate students with theories, concepts, and analytic models in Local Government Finance, which are really important to understand real policy phenomena. In particular, we learn (but not limited to) public goods, externalities (both negative and positive), tax equity, Lindahl prices, Edgeworth Box, median voter theorem, Arrow’s impossibility theorem, Niskanen’s model of bureaucracy, rent-seeking, cost-benefit analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, Tiebout model, and flypaper effect. In addition, we will focus on local government finances, including central-local fiscal relations, inter-governmental grants, local revenues (incl. local taxation), and local expenditure. | |||||||||
