ECON 490 F: Seminar on Global Growth, Development and Inequality

The broad theme of this seminar is international economic growth and development. In the first few weeks, students will be introduced to commonly used data sources, applied empirical approaches and basic theoretical concepts underlying research in this area. The objective is to lay the groundwork for students to develop their own research on related topics of their choosing. Students are expected to complete a research paper by the end of the semester and will receive individual guidance from the instructor throughout the process.
