Masters in Economicsin Development Economics

Development Economics applies basic tools of economics to key policy issues in developing countries and transition economies. This specialization discusses topics like: the role of constraints (for example through exposure to risk) on the ability of households to escape from poverty through asset accumulation; the potential for sustainable land use in areas with rapid population growth; the economic implications of migration, both within developing countries and from developing to developed countries; and the scope for economic growth through industrial development.
