ECON 304 - Growth & Development Policy

A country’s growth and development are influenced by deep forces (such as geography, history, and culture) and current events (from global shocks to local conflicts). Given these realities, what differences can policy choices make—choices by a given country about itself and choices by other countries, such as through foreign aid? Students explore this question using the latest data and recent theoretical insights, including behavioral economics.
