Development Economics

Development Economics is a course on the problems of the economies of developing countries and countries with economies in transition. The key theme for development economics is inequality, poverty, and human development. Relevant questions are the following: what is the role of human capital in overcoming poverty problems and ensuring sustainable growth? How do the traditional (natural) and capitalist (market) sectors interact in the economies of developing countries, and how does their neighborhood affect the nature and pace of development?
