This course looks at economic development primarily through the lens of food and agriculture. As we shall see, such a view can offer a powerful framework for understandingeconomic development outcomes. It is also productive in suggesting new lines of enquiry. The main theoretical framework is drawn from models of structural transformation. While these are macro models, the empirical analysis uses the techniques of micro-econometrics. The course is heavily based on research papers - mostly published in recent years.
To appreciate the research questions and to think of new questions, it is important to have the background knowledge in terms of institutions, technologies, endowments, preferences,policies and history. This is best acquired by self-reading.
