Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Among the theories that try to explain economic and social development, the new institutional economics (NIE) have gained popularity over the last years. The course will introduce students to institutional thinking and how institutions matter for long-run development. Due to the persistence of institutions, the course will also cover some economic history in conjunction with institutional economics. The course will be taught at an introductory level. Basic knowledge of economic theory is an advantage.
Assessment and permitted materials
Students will be evaluated on the basis of their presentations, their in class participation during the course and an essay (country study).
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Students will gain knowledge on how institutions can help explain economic development and underdevelopment. The main researchers in the field of NIE will be introduced.
Examination topics
The course will use a mix of lectures from V. Seidler, student presentations and case studies to examine institutions and their impact on economic development. Students' participation will be encouraged.
Reading list
North, D. C. (1990): Institutions, Institutional Change and Economic Performance, Cambridge. We will also use a series of articles during the course.
