Streams (24 credits)
Stream 1: Economic Development and Living Standards
Experience has shown that development requires economic growth and is shaped by the distribution of economic
resources. At the same time, the globalized economy has created new opportunities and new challenges for sustained
growth. Courses in this stream revolve around the factors contributing to sustained economic growth, the trade-offs
associated with different ways of achieving it, and the distributional issues development inevitably raises. More
generally, this stream is also concerned with understanding what "development" actually entails in different contexts.
