Course Description:
People in developing countries frequently encounter daily challenges, such as deciding whether to send children to school or to work, low immunization rates, and inadequate infrastructure. Governments of these countries and international organizations attempt to address the issues with various programs and policy interventions. In this seminar, students will critically examine empirical research in development economics exploring these challenges and learn some of the tools used by applied microeconomists to assess policy interventions. The seminar will also include using the statistical software STATA. |
