Course Description

This course critically analyses the theories of development and growth to try and understand why some countries are rich and others are poor, and why some countries are growing faster than others. Using empirical evidence, the course will identify key features of the economic and political development processes, including individual and societal factor accumulation. We will examine underlying historical, structural, and institutional causes of development and underdevelopment. The objective of the course is for students to be able to draw on empirical evidence to evaluate the relevance of the economic frameworks in diagnosing root causes of development.
