| Course Section Number: | ECO-358-02 |
| Department: | Economics |
| Description: | This class is a broad, interdisciplinary exploration of determinants of living standard in the neighboring region of Latin America. The long run wellbeing of populations is determined mostly by growth of their economies and distribution of what is produced. Through application of basic theoretical framework, the class will consider the main determinants of growth and its challenges in Latin America. We will use cases and data from individual countries to study population growth, technological development, and accumulation of physical and human capital. Final outcomes for individuals are then dependent on income distribution. We will study historical, natural, institutional, cultural, and political characteristics (and anomalies) of income distribution in the region.This class does not require intermediate economic theory or econometrics and thus it does not count towards the upper-level course requirement for the economics major. |
