ECO-101
ECO-358-01=HSP-277-01=PPE-358-01
This interdisciplinary course focuses on many asspects of
Inequality and Growth in Latin America and will include an
immersion trip component to Costa Rica. Among the main goals for
the course are the following: develop understanding of the
economic situation on the continent and in the particular
courntry, use economic theories and data to explore racial and
income discrimination (and discrimination more broadly) in Latin
America, and developing understanding of a tight conection
between economic growth and inequality outcomes.
Developing an understanding of the historical background will
serve as a starting point to examine economic policies and
realities related to few basic economic concepts, such as
inflation, poverty, stabilization, and debt. The region has
experienced a variety of interesting economic conditions from
monetary union to tequila effect, from rapid growth to poor
growth in resource riche environments. Therefore, it lends itself
well for a variety of country case studies as they relate to
economic theories. In addition to broader overview, we will spend
substantial time studying exchange rate experience of Argentina
and data sources available for information on these countries.
Some knowledge of Spanish and Economica/PPE will be adventagous
for students in this class.
