140231 KU Introductory Seminar: Development Economics (2012S)

Continuous assessment of course work

This course covers some of the key topics in Development Economics. The course will be taught at an introductory level. No prior knowledge of Economics is assumed.

This course repeats and deepens the topics discussed in Prof. Cunat's lecture. We will be trailing Cunat's lecture by one week. You should try to take both (lecture and this course) in the same semester to save yourself some work.
