What will I learn?
You will work through the full arc of economic growth and development theory, starting with foundational measurement concepts and advancing through Solow, endogenous growth, and structural transformation models. You will examine how institutions, governance, and political economy determine long-run income levels. The course covers capital formation, trade strategy, poverty dynamics, and inclusive growth policies using real country evidence. You will also develop practical data analysis skills, including causal inference methods and regression techniques applied to household and cross-country datasets. By the end, you will be equipped to evaluate development interventions and communicate findings clearly to policymakers and stakeholders.
