This unit provides an introduction to theoretical and empirical research on economic growth in developing countries. The precise content will tend to vary from year to year, but topics covered are likely to include standard growth models, growth accounting, trade policy, structural change, government policy, and growth in East Asia. Students will also be expected to gain a good understanding of the empirical methods used to study economic growth, and the strengths and weaknesses of the available evidence.
