Bulletin Board for DMUG 2012-2013

"International Development Economics" is a selective and applied course in the Economic Development Policy and Management Program. Managing "International Trade and Investment" for sustained and equitable growth/development will be the central issue.

This course deals with the frontier-yet-fundamental issues of ‘Development Management under Globalization (グローバリゼーション下の開発マネジメント)’.　The course covers selected topics such as: economic development under the changing environment of globalization (risks and benefits associated with globalization, rise and demise of the East Asian growth model, Africa’s marginalization, convergence club under globalization); international trade and development (inward- vs. outward-oriented development strategies and trade reforms, regionalism vs. multilateralism, WTO and industrial promotion); external financing of development (ODA, FDI and multilateral corporations, portfolio flows, debt & financial crises); managing open-economy development (BOP management, the order of liberalization, exchange rate regimes and monetary policy rules, fiscal sustainability, crisis management); and toward governance and quality of growth under globalization (growth and equity under globalization).

Consecutive enrollment from Development Economics will be highly effective. Knowledge of Development Economics, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and basic statistics/econometrics is preferred.

The following entries are for the Academic Year of 2019-2020. Students in 2020-21 can still search for class materials from this BB. However, this year (2020-2021) we will heavily depend on the IDE Class Account in the NUCT for the circulation of class materials. This is due to COVID19, and we will use ZOOM Sessions using the NUCT as Resource Bank (for students to obtain classroom materials).
