Voraussetzungen |
An understanding of intermediate micro and macro‐economics and basic econometrics is required. Prior knowledge in development economics is an advantage. Students without any prior knowledge in development economics may read the books by either Perkins (2012), Ray (1998) or Todaro and Smith (2006) (see course book for details). |
Lernorganisation |
This lecture is organised in a set of lectures and tutorials (Übungen). Students are explicitly invited to actively participate in the lecture through questions and input for discussion. In the tutorials students solve set problems in relation to the lecture. In addition, students are invited to indicate those parts of the course for which they need additional training. This may refer to a particular theoretical model, an empirical method or a certain debate in development politics. Readings are essential to prepare the class and the exam. |
