1 Economics 663: The Macroeconomics of Development Professor Colin Bradford Spring 2002 Introduction: As this course begins, Argentina is experiencing major upheaval in the wake of the collapse of the currency board arrangement in place since 1991 raising major concerns in Latin America regarding the continuing viability of the model of market oriented democracies in confronting social unrest. Senior officials from Turkey are in Washington trying to work out an agreement with the IMF on economic policy questions in the wake of a currency crisis last summer. Reform in Russia seems to be on the back burner as policy priority shifts to foreign policy and defense issues. Eastern Europe is following a pattern of what Professor Mieke Meurs calls de-development where the speed of retrogression and decline is greater than the pace of progress. Africa, the last frontier of economic development, seems to be searching for new policies for development at the same time that the AIDS epidemic creates major destructive pressures. Just as the World Bank came to the conclusion that external support for development should be focused on countries with sound economic policies, September 11th seems to have demonstrated that weak states also need attention even if policy performance is low. UK Finance Minister Gordon Brown has called for a doubling of official development assistance to meet the Millennium Development Goals while the US administration seems skeptical that aid can work. After a long period in which the Washington Consensus was generally agreed to, these developments seem to call into question the prevailing paradigm and create a fluid climate of uncertainty and challenge. This course will examen the role of macroeconomics in development policy today, the contexts, the constraints and the challenges. Analytical techniques will be developed for use in research papers by students and perspectives on the usefulness of macroeconomic policy in meeting certain challenges will be presented and discussed. This is a research seminar. A major focus of the course is on the preparation of a thoughtful, analytical paper on country economic strategies and policies. The choice of country should reflect the student s professional career intentions. In the case of international students from the developing world or from transition economies, it is expected that the country of origin would be the country chosen for research. For others, the choice of country should enhance their career direction. The idea is that through the analysis, research and class discussion of the paper the student will develop analytical and policy perspectives which will serve them in professional challenges further on in their careers and provide them with influence and leverage on policy issues in their home countries or in their work on development policy issues internationally. The papers will consist of three parts. First, an analysis of the evolution of recent economic trends in the country which define the policy challenges for the future. Second, based on an economic projection methodology for extrapolating trends into the future as a function of expected performance of endogenous economic variables, alternative policy scenarios will be developed by each student in part II of the paper. Part III will contain
2 an evaluation of these alternative scenarios and a recommended policy path for each country by each student. The first part of the course will be focused on analytical tools and policy instruments so that students may proceed immediately to the begin their research papers. There will be two alternative methodologies presented for the projection of economic outcomes from alternative policy scenarios. One will be based on a simple national income accounting framework to provide a consistent set of economic relationships. The other will be based on the RIMSIM-X model of the World Bank which can be accessed on the web, down loaded and applied to specific developing countries. All students, even those not using RIMSIM-X in their papers, will be expected to understand the basic structure and properties of this model as well as the national income accounting framework. Research Paper Schedule: Deadline 1. Identification of Country of Research January 15/22 2. Identification of Policy Challenges for Each Country February 5 3. Preparation of Outline of Paper including the Methodology February 12 and Initial Bibliography 4. Drafting of Papers (7 weeks minimum) Feb 19- April 9 5. Presentation, Debate, and Discussion of Papers April 9 April 16 April 23 Hour Exam (Mid Term) March 5 No Final Exam Grading System: Class Participation 25% Mid Term Exam 25% Research Paper 50% Students must keep up with readings for discussion in class as they proceed with their research and paper writing. The University s policies on plagarism will be strictly adhered to and vigorously enforced. If you are unfamiliar with these policies, please see Professor Bradford immediately for clarification. See the recent attention to Steven Ambrose as an example of the seriousness of this issue.
