国際金融・開発研究：経済学系（Advanced Development Microeconomics）

The objective of this course (ADM) is (1) to have a good understanding of the literature of development microeconomics, and (2) to develop a good research idea and design. The course is for students seeking a research career and developing their research project. The course mainly discusses empirical papers on selected topics. Both experimental and quasi-experimental studies are covered. Students write referee reports, conduct a replication project, and develop a proposal for their empirical research. This lecture course is offered in English. All written assignments must be written in English (no exceptions).

履修上の注意

Graduate-level microeconomics, graduate-level econometrics, and upper-division undergraduate-level development economics are prerequisites. Graduate-level microeconomics/econometrics means those offered in the Graduate School of Economics, not the Graduate School of Public Policy. I offer two lecture courses: Development Economics: Microeconomic Approach (DEM) (cross-listed with Public Policy) and Advanced Development Microeconomics (ADM). In ADM, I presume you are familiar with materials typically covered in upper-division undergraduate-level development economics like those covered in de Janvry, A. and E. Sadoulet (2021). Development Economics: Theory and Practice. If you are unfamiliar with those materials, I suggest that you first take DEM. DEM is for a wide range of students who are interested in international development. ADM is an advanced course for students seeking a research career and developing their research project.
