1 Economics 731 Economic Development Chris Udry Spring 2003 Phone: Yale University The goal of this course is to explore the application of microeconomic analysis to issues of development in poor countries. The focus of this course is the study of household behavior and the analysis of rural institutions. The course will cover the neoclassical agricultural household model and criticisms of that model, the structure of rural factor markets (concentrating on the effects of risk and information problems), general equilibrium analyses of village economies, household savings and investment (especially in education), issues of health and nutrition, technological innovation and project evaluation. T.N. Srinivasan s companion course (Economics 730) covered more general growth and general equilibrium models of development. This course presumes knowledge of development economics at an undergraduate level. Students should have knowledge of the structural characteristics of developing countries, and be familiar with the traditional models of development economics (basic growth theory and dual economy models). In addition, I will assume that you have taken the first-year graduate sequences in microeconomics and econometrics. Course Requirements: 1. The first goal of this course is a critical reading of the current literature on the empirical microeconomics of development. I expect you to do all of the required reading and to participate in class discussion. You will also be responsible for two or three short written discussions of featured papers for distribution to the class before the class meeting at which that paper will be discussed. This discussion will not summarize the paper. Instead, it will discuss the most important weaknesses of the paper and provide suggestions for future research that could advance knowledge on the topic of the paper. The discussion papers will be ed to class members by 5:00 on the day before the class meets. There will also be some problem sets. 2. The second goal of the course is to prepare for research in development economics. Therefore, the second requirement is a research paper. This requirement can be met in one of two ways: (1) replication of the empirical results of an approved paper in development economics; or (2) an applied (theoretical, empirical, or both) paper with original research. We are fortunate to have Robert Townsend visiting for several weeks this Spring, and he will be teaching this course upon his arrival. His schedule is not yet finalized, so this syllabus should be considered to be tentative.
2 Several of the required papers have been gathered together in Bardhan and Udry, Readings in Development Economics, so you might consider ordering it. Deaton s The Analysis of Household Surveys: A Microeconometric Approach to Development Policy is an extremely useful reference, and we ll use a couple of the chapters. Finally, we ll use a few chapters of Bardhan and Udry, Development Microeconomics, so it might be useful to have. Further Background References: Debraj Ray, Development Economics. We will not use it for the course, but it is the best undergraduate text in development economics. He provides excellent non-technical explanations of many of the issues we will study.
