Course Description:
This development economics course focuses on these central questions: Why do some countries develop earlier than others? Why do some countries fail to develop while others are successful? This course provides an overview of the main topics in development economics. The course aims to a) trace the history of ideas in economic development, contrasting developmentalist theories and state-led industrialization strategies in the post-war era with market-led economic development; b) analyze the economic challenges in their quest for development; and c) cover a range of selected topics in development micro- and macroeconomics. The course consists of lecture classes and training units to discuss and deepen the lectured topics.
