This course provides MDEV students with an entry-level introduction to development economics. The course is divided between macro- and micro-topics. Given the breadth of the literature, the course is necessarily extremely selective in the topics covered. A background in basic statistics and high-school algebra would facilitate students' understanding of topics covered. However, working knowledge can be acquired over the course of the semester if they have no prior exposure to these subjects
