This advanced course is the second part of a two-course sequence on economic development, although the first course, ECON 461, is not a requirement for this course.

This course addresses microeconomic issues of development with a focus on econometric methods. Topic include: health, nutrition, and productivity; education, gender, family, and intra-household decision making; and technology adoption. Given the emphasis on statistical analysis in the course, ECON 404 or 405 are strongly recommended.
