Current Courses
Yale University
- Econ 283b/INRL708b, Development Economics Policy,
Spring 2007
This
course aims to provide an overview of the development
economics policy, with a specific focus on how we
learn what works, what does not work, and why, in
the world of poverty alleviation approaches. We will
discuss methodological issues with respect to how
one evaluates interventions and policies ( e.g.,
when and how to employ randomized control trials),
as well as the policy implications and complications
of replicating and scaling development projects. We
primarily will cover three sectors (although others
will be discussed): microfinance (including credit,
savings and insurance), health, and education.
This
course is targeted to international relations graduate
students and advanced undergraduates.
