Accounting 341 - Economic Development

Institution:

Hiram College

Subject:

Description:

A course on economic development focuses our attention on the tier monde or third world countries and their efforts to sustain and improve their society's standard of living. Our understanding of how a country can develop begins with economic theories, but must include consideration of a broader more expansive set of political, historical and cultural factors. Because of this expanded scope, our inquiry into the process and nature of economic development will be full of complexity and uncertainty. On the one hand, this is what makes it interesting. This also makes it frustrating. While our inquiry includes relevant economic theory, it also has numerous rich historical case studies and current empirical examples of development efforts by specific countries across a broad range of historical and current periods. Prerequisite: Economics 201.
