Development Economics II
This course is designed for students who have completed the first Development Economics graduate course in this department. It builds on the first course by :
- providing a wider set of readings, with less of a South African focus (e.g. Sen's approach to poverty)
- dealing with selected, more focused issues in development research (e.g. an institutional perspective on economic development)
- further developing technical skills for empirical development research
The desired outcomes from this course are
- a deepened understanding of the development process and different approaches to development
- an improved ability to read and interpret advanced readings in development economics
- developing empirical research skills in the development field.
Course instructor: Servaas van der Berg
