Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Why are some countries poor while other are rich? This is the core question for development economists. There is no single answer to this question. That’s why the course is organized around key topics in Development Economics.
We will introduce students to important paradigms in development so that they are in a position to of critically reflect on them. Different theories will be discussed, as well as the related empirical evidence and policy debates. Students will develop analytical skills to think independently about economic development issues and policies.
The course is taught at an introductory level: no prior knowledge of Economics is required. A large effort is made to help students understand economic models and graphs.
empirical evidence and policy debates. Students will develop analytical skills to think independently about economic development issues and policies.
The course is held in English language and students' active participation is encouraged (and more fun).
