Our faculty will collaborate with colleagues in the Departments of Political Science and Economics, and with occasional course offerings from across the campus, in order to provide a broad and current policy curriculum. The Master of Public Policy will be a state funded professional degree requiring 92 units for graduation. Students will have eight introductory core courses (32 units) that cover hard skills in economics, the politics of policy-making and regulation, quantitative methods, and management, and, in the second year, a required capstone research seminar (4 units). Between years one and two, all students will be strongly encouraged to pursue an internship. IR/PS has a skilled Career Services team that already facilitates private and public local, national, and international placements for the MPIA. Once through the core, students will have a remaining 56 units and will be required to complete at least one transcripted Area of Specialization of four courses (16 units). More than one will be allowed. Students choosing an international focus may elect to count twenty-four units of undergraduate language, taken at UCSD during the years of matriculation in the MPP program, toward the degree. Proven second year proficiency will be annotated to the transcript if the student so chooses. The MPP curriculum can largely be taught with core IR/PS faculty and current adjuncts. However, MPP students would benefit from courses representing specialties in the Economics and Political Science Departments that are not central to the research and/or teaching priorities of IRPS faculty. Examples of such courses might include state and federal politics and administrative rule making processes, migration policy, the economics of education, taxation, and labor economics. Faculty members in those departments have confirmed, by way of attached letters, that they would be very interested in teaching these courses. Their Department Chairs support the creation of an MPP at UCSD and have indicated a desire, also by attached letters, to cooperate with the program by working out arrangements for IRPS to obtain desired courses on a predictable basis by either “swapping courses” with IR/PS (such as IR/PS faculty teaching PhD or undergraduate courses, as already occurs), teaching classes collaboratively involving students in both units, or having IR/PS fund the teaching of an alternative course by that Department. Based on our conversations with the Departments, IR/PS is confident that appropriate specifics can be worked out for each desired course. As the MPP evolves, similar arrangements will be sought with STEM departments to further teaching collaborations like those already in place between IR/PS faculty and JSOE and SIO. 3 Section 1.0: Introduction When the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies (IR/PS) was created in 1987, it was the first international affairs school in the University of California system, and the only school to bet that a focus on Asia and the Americas was the key to understanding the future of a globalizing world economy. Its curriculum integrated the typically separate fields of international relations, economics, management, public policy, and the regional study of Latin America and Asia. Most of our current competitor schools- SAIS at Johns Hopkins, SIPA at Columbia University, The Elliot School at George Washington, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts, Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, The Maxwell School at Syracuse, and the School of International Service (SIS) at American University- were shaped by the magnetic pull of Washington, D.C. and the international organizations in Europe. Their curriculum focused on international law and diplomacy with an emphasis on the history and culture of regions. The curriculum of IR/PS was distinctive for its Asia Pacific focus, but what particularly set the School apart from these other programs was the level of expertise in its training in the hard skills required for the empirical analysis and quantitative evaluation of policy and the mechanisms of regulation. The core offerings in the IR/PS curriculum have not substantially changed in the last seven years, though changes in the faculty and intellectual developments in the disciplines have prompted new course clusters. Most notably are expansions of offerings in the environment and sustainability, development policy, the politics of policy-making and regulation, and our research methods course options now include GIS, data mining and analysis, and two advanced courses on survey design and sampling. IR/PS currently offers three masters degrees, a joint PhD with the Political Science Department, and a range of non-degree, specialized training for mid-career professionals. The three masters degrees are: • The Master of Pacific and International Affairs (MPIA) admitted its first class in 1987. The MPIA requires 98 units for graduation and includes 36 units of core courses, a 4 credit capstone in the second year, and 28 units for the career and regional tracks. An additional 24 units of undergraduate language coursework may be counted toward the degree. What units remain after the requirements may be satisfied with general elective courses from IRPS or appropriate classes from campus departments. • The BA/MIA is a five-year program, launched in 2008 and offered in association with the interdisciplinary undergraduate International Studies Program. Students are admitted to IR/PS at the end of their junior year and complete the MPIA core as seniors, after which they receive their BA. Following graduation and a required summer internship, they matriculate to graduate status and, in one year, complete course work for their career and regional tracks. The requirements for the MIA are identical to those for the MPIA. 4 • The MAS-IA admitted its first class in fall 2010. The degree is designed for experienced professionals who are looking for a specialized, advanced education in international affairs with a strong focus on policy and management in the Pacific region. MAS-IA students must complete 48 units of academic credit that includes two core courses and a capstone, two regional courses, three career track courses, and four electives chosen from the IR/PS curriculum. Section 1.1: Historical Development of the Field and of Departmental Strength From the vantage point of the 21st Century, it is clear that the fields of international affairs and public policy are changing. The best public policy schools—The Goldman School at Berkeley, Harvard’s Kennedy School, The Ford School at Michigan, Harris at Chicago, Wilson at Princeton, and Duke’s Sanford School—are adding required and elective course work in development, security, and comparative social policy, while the programs already defined by an international focus are moving to add curriculum in management and quantitative training. The line between “international” and “domestic” policy is, by necessity, much fuzzier than it was a generation ago. Students demand, and employers seek,

Any opinions expressed are those of the authors and not those of the National Bureau of EconomicResearch. NBER Working Paper #1303 March 1984 Bequests as a Means of Payment ABSTRACT Although recent research suggests that intergenerational transfers play an important role in aggregate capital accumulation, our understanding of bequest motives remains incomplete. We develop a simple model of "exchange—motivated" bequests, in which a testator influences the decisions of his beneficiaries by holding wealth in bequeathable forms and by conditioning the division of bequests on the beneficiaries' actions. The model generates falsifiable empirical predictions which are inconsistent with other theories of intergenerational transfers. We present econometric and other evidence which strongly suggests that bequests are often used as a means of payment for services rendered by beneficiaries. B.

SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY AID ECONOMIC GROUTS Nathan Rosenberg Professor of Economics Stanford University This paper has been prepared for presentation at the 1987 Annual meeting of the AAAS, Chicago, 14 February 1987. My primary concern in this paper will be with certain aspects of the so- called high technology industries that are, I believe, highly relevant to America's economic growth prospects. The most direct way in which these aspects are relevant to economic growth is that they directly affect the country's ability to maintain or to improve its competitiveness in world markets. The term "science" appears in the title of this paper because the high technology industries with which I will be primarily concerned are, by common definition, those in which scientific inputs loom large - whether these inputs are measured in terms of the number of scientifically trained personnel or expenditures upon research and development (R&D).
