ECON30410

Learning Outcomes:

On successful completion of this module, students will be able to (i) identify and understand key aspects of the process of economic development and economic challenges of developing countries, (ii) apply economic analysis to these problems to formulate and evaluate possible policy responses, and (iii) draw independent conclusions when being confronted with arguments for and against current policy issues and their sometimes ambiguous evidence - ultimately to play an informed role in the struggle for economic development and poverty alleviation

Student Effort Hours:

Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

Lectures will include applications to real-world data using statistical software.
Sample exercises for each topic will allow students to self-assess their knowledge and study in groups.

All of the graded assessments in this module are in person closed book tests so the use of AI will not arise.

Use of AI is permitted in this module and may be a useful aid in terms of reviewing the readings or answering the non graded homeworks and could be used for the following purposes:

To generate ideas and organise the structure of written notes
To start a literature review and find relevant papers.
To understand main concepts/theories and find definitions.
To correct grammar and improve the writing style of your own work.
To assist with reference formatting.
