Course Description


As the core discipline subject of the DID’s Economic Development Policy & Management (EDPM) Program,

this course "Development Economics (DE)" offers key principles and issues of Economics of Development bearing the needs of first-time learners in mind. Topics to be covered are: 1) the role of economic development in “development” and poverty reduction (Poverty-Growth-Inequality Triangle, SDGs); 2) the evolution of economic development thoughts; 3) the stylized facts in economic development (open and closed questions); 4) theories of development (traditional and new growth theories); 5) dualistic development and structural change (growth, poverty, and income distribution; rural-urban dichotomy); 6) financing development (capital and saving, financial system and development); 7) guiding development―markets vs. controls (the role of government in development, good governance); 8) development and institutions; and 9) new development challenges in the 21st century (globalization, international economic system, development and environment, and Sustainable Development Goals, etc.) THIS YEAR, we will also discuss the Life after Development-Goals of Development(?), using Japan's development experience as a case.

"International Development Econmics (Globalization and Development)," the sequel course to "Development Econmocs" offered in the second semester will handle international aspects of development economics. The IDE/DMUG covers selected topics such as: 1) 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); 2) international trade and development (inward- vs. outward-oriented development strategies and trade reforms, regionalism vs. multilateralism, WTO and industrial promotion); 3) external finance of development (ODA, FDI and multilateral corporations, portfolio flows, debt & financial crises); 4) managing open-economy development (BOP management, the order of liberalization, exchange rate regimes and monetary policy rules, fiscal sustainability, crisis management); 5) toward governance and quality of growth under globalization (growth and equity under globalization, localization under globalization); and 6) country case studies (with student presentations). THIS YEAR, we will discuss more about the diversified development paradigms and necessary glogal governance and cooperation.
