1 Freshman Seminar Emerging Market Economies: The BRICs Department of Economics Swarthmore College Professor Steve O Connell Fall 2011, TTh 9:55-11:10 Kohlberg 205, x8107 Office hours Weds 11am-noon, Thurs 1-230pm INTRODUCTION: By some accounts, Brazil, Russia, India and China will be the most dominant economies in the world by We study the economic trajectories of these countries from roughly 1900, emphasizing the roles of domestic reforms and interactions with global markets in spurring human capital accumulation, industrial development, and economic growth. We examine the potential limits on stability and growth in the BRICs and the influence these countries are likely to exert on the global governance of trade, aid, finance, and the environment. No prerequisite. NOTE: This course counts towards an Economics major, but students must still take ECON 001 to qualify for further work in the Economics Department. OBJECTIVES: Facility reading and writing in the social sciences; knowledge of the contemporary economic histories of the BRICS; and an understanding of basic growth theory and growth accounting, the collective action problem, the political economy of economic reform, and the roles of global economic institutions. REQUIRED TEXTS: Additional required readings will be on the Moodle site.

Assignments: You are responsible for doing assigned readings before they are discussed in the seminar. There will be a sequence of short written assignments totaling roughly 20 pages over the course of the semester, at least one of which will be presented to the seminar for discussion. There will be an in-class midterm and a final exam at the scheduled time. Grading: Class participation and presentation 25%, written assignments 45%, midterm exam 30%. Make-up exams: Scheduling conflicts must be worked out in advance. Any make-up granted within a week of the exam requires an emergency or medical excuse certified by the Dean s office or Worth Health Center. Late term papers: Your grade on required assignments drops by 1/3 of a grade each day it is late. Plagiarism: Plagiarism is defined as passing off the work of others as your own. It is a very serious form of academic misconduct. It is easy to avoid, not by ignoring the work of others but by citing it whenever you use it. For instructions on avoiding plagiarism see Referencing Source Material and Avoiding Plagiarism in Economics under the Classes link on my web page. 1
2 Weekly syllabus [NOTE: Details to be added.

Readings in small font are optional supplementary materials and will not necessarily be readily available. Week 1 [August 29 September 2] Introduction Tuesday: Introduction. I ll distribute the following to be read and discussed in the seminar: *O Neill, Jim (2001) Building Better Global Economic BRICs Goldman Sachs Global Economics Paper No. 66, November 30 [m] Discussion 1. Interpret the title. 2. Who s in the G7, who participates from each country, and what s the G7 s function? 3. What criterion is O Neil using to decide who should be added to comprise a modified G7 (population? per-capita income? share of world GDP?). Why? 4. What is the role of forecasts in his argument, and what is the basis of those forecasts? 5. Why is he arguing for a reduction in the number of distinct European members? 6. [I will explain] Why do poor countries look so much bigger when a PPP-adjusted exchange rate is used to convert Chinese GDP into US dollars? Thursday: Some global and historical context. Read these in advance and be prepared to participate in the discussion. *Easterlin, Richard (1981) Why Isn t the Whole World Developed? Journal of Economic History [m] 1. The title raises a question; what is Easterlin s tentative answer? 2. He distinguishes aptitudes from incentives. Incentives for who to do what? How would you measure these concepts; what role do they play in Easterlin s argument? 3. What is the role of economic or military competition in Easterlin s argument? 4. What political configurations or societal forces does Easterlin associate with delayed expansion of primary education? 5. Easterlin says broad primary education is necessary for modern economic growth. Is it sufficient? 6. Easterlin predicts convergence of development levels internationally. What s behind this prediction, and what kind of world does he describe? *Chaudhury, Latika, Aldo Musacchio, Steven Nafziger, and Se Yan (2011), Big BRICs, Weak Foundations: The Beginning of Public Elementary Education in Brazil, Russia, India and China, [m] Note: skim this paper with a focus on the historical context. 1. Consider a 2 by 2 table, with limited or broad democracy (the adjectives refer to the degree of popular participation and representation) on the rows, and centralized or decentralized political institutions on the columns. Where would you place the BRICs before 1910, according to the Chaudhury et al. paper? How about the USA in 1910? The Soviet Union in the 1920s and 1930s? Can their arguments be summarized by reference to this table? 2. Chaudhury purport to be explaining both the low level of primary education in the BRICs in 1910 (low relative to what?) and the substantial regional variation within the BRICs. What factors do they consider most important? Week 2 [September 5-9] Economic growth Tuesday: Accounting for growth. Note: Writing assignment #1 due in class *Wilson, Dominic and Roopa Purushothaman (2003) Dreaming With BRICs: The Path to 2050 Goldman Sachs Global Economics Paper No. 99, October 1 [m] 2
3 1. Total GDP is equal to GDP per worker multiplied by the number of workers. All the analytical work here is going into projecting GDP per worker. What factors do they emphasize as important in determining the growth rate of GDP per worker? 2. China is projected to grow the fastest of all, and Brazil the slowest. What accounts for this difference? Thursday: Explaining growth *Jones, Charles, Introduction to Economic Growth, chapter 7: Infrastructure and Long-Run Economic Performance [m] 1. To most growth economists, infrastructure refers to public physical capital like ports and roads. How does Jones define infrastructure? 2. Interpret GADP and OPEN, the two variables Jones uses to measure infrastructure. 3. Interpret the scatter plots. Are the relationships suggested by the regression lines causal? 4. In a country operating at a low level of GADP and/or OPEN, what kind of policy action would be required to increase one or both of these variables? If this is good for growth, why doesn t the government do it? Week 3 [September 12-16] The collective action problem *Olson (2000), Power and Prosperity, chapters 1-5. Week 4 [September 19-23] Power and prosperity *Olson (2000), Power and Prosperity, chapters 6-end.
