Development Economics

Development Economics is designed for advanced undergraduate economic development and international economics course. The text is exceptional in that it provides more continuity between the methods of development economics and other fields of economics. The text is a framework for the study of development theory. Because development theory is based on the microeconomics of household and firm choice, students will be familair with the methods of economics used. It also illustrates extensions of standard economic theory to development economics using graphical and mathematiclal expositions.
