4 credits · Undergraduate credit

The standard of living in a country is determined by its capacity to produce goods and services. Why are some nations richer than others? Why is there economic growth? Will it continue forever? What is the role of social infrastructure in shaping the economic success of a nation? This array of questions will be addressed using the neoclassical and the new growth theory, as well as cutting-edge theories of talent allocation and economics of corruption.
