Economic History of Chile

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

The course discusses significant economic topics using the Chilean experience as a reference. To do this, it uses concepts studied in previous courses and introduces new theoretical elements. It is an economics course that uses history as an application, rather than a history course that uses economics. It is understood that it is a look from or with the economic methodology taking advantage of the fact that the student has introductory training in microeconomics and macroeconomics. For this reason, the treatment of each theme considers a theoretical discussion to then address the experiences themselves. In short, the course combines theory and applications.
