Description

In this course, we cover the fundamental topics of economics of developing countries. This includes the literature on growth, income inequality and poverty, health and fertility, education, market failures and trade. The purpose of the course is twofold. First, to understand the interplay between politics and institutions on growth rates, income inequality and poverty in a developing country context. Second, to understand and apply formal, but relatively simple, economic models. We will discuss papers that use quantitative methods to derive empirical results, and have guest lectures from practitioners in the field of international development, thereby increasing your understanding of an economist鈥檚 鈥渢ool kit鈥�.
