| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2473 This is a survey course on the economic development and recent transitional experience in China and India. The course will examine the economic structure and policies in the two countries, with a focus on comparing China and India's recent economic successes and failures and their past development policies and strategies. We will analyze the factors affecting the current reforms and transformation process in the two countries, from varying degrees of centrally planned communist/socialist economic systems, towards more decentralized reforming hybrid economies combining plan and market. We examine factors affecting economic development in these emerging economies, including the role of market failure versus government failure, globalization, and institutions. The principal goals for this course include engaging students in critical analysis of published research, exposing them to an application of key economic concepts and theories applied to the study of economic growth and development, and introducing them to the process of conducting original research.; Prerequisite(s): ECON 105 or 106, or instructor consent Social Science, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts), B: Analysis of the Social World (Hav: SO, A, B) |
