Economic policy analysis in international developmen
- Share to:
The design of development policies must be derived from development
theory. There is no single ‘theory of economic development’, but we strive to
provide a background review of competing theories of how many complex
processes, both at the macroeconomic (country and international) level
and the microeconomic (individual, household and firm) level, may lead to
development. Given the large number of topics in development economics,
this course will focus on macroeconomic theories, although the chapter on
microcredit in particular, and the chapter on aid to a lesser extent, include
some microeconomics. If these topics are particularly interesting to you, we
suggest you consider taking a course in microeconomics of development.
Theoretical questions we address in this course include: through what
mechanisms are trade and growth related? Will providing microcredit
enable farmers to improve their living standards? Does international aid
promote growth? How can we explain large differences in living standards
between developed and developing countries?
