Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This course examines development economics and development policy. The purpose is to understand the lives of the poor and the economies of poor countries in order to understand what--if anything--can be done to improve their lives. We will consider what might be holding the poor back including population growth, lack of education, poor health, corruption, and institutional impediments such as poorly developed or tightly constrained markets. This course is appropriate for economics majors as well as for majors in international studies with the appropriate prerequisites.
