This course will focus on microeconomic analysis of issues in developing countries. The main question will be: what can be done to help the world's poor to improve their wellbeing? Through this course, you will gain a basic understanding of development economics in topics such as poverty, health, education, and governance. You will also have the opportunity to connect these theoretical ideas to real world issues.
