Outline (in English)

- Course outline
We will study growth theory and its empirical studies and review economic development from traditional agriculture to industrialization.
Before studying these topics in Development Economics, we will study labor demand, income allocation, and regression analysis, which are not covered by introductory Economics for 1st year undergraduate students.
- Learning Objectives
Why are the economies of Sub-Saharan African countries small and growing rapidly while Japan's economy is large and growing slowly?
The goal of this class is that students will become able to proactively think and discuss economic issues related to developing countries based on economic theories, methods, and data.
- Learning activities outside of classroom
Students will read around 20 pages of texts that form the basis of each lecture slide as a reading assignment before each lecture.
Students will review the contents of the classes and exercises according to their own needs.
The standard time for preparation and review for this class is 2 hours each.
- Grading Criteria, Policies
Grading will be decided based on mid-term exam (40%), end-term exam (40%), and contribution to class (20%).
