2019年12月14日、15日及18日，中国财政发展协同创新中心邀请到加州大学河滨分校公共政策学院院长Anil B. Deolalikar教授，为大家带来为发展经济学短期课程，欢迎全校师生参加。课程安排如下：

课程简介：

在过去的50年里，由于以前欠发达经济体的快速发展，世界发生了前所未有的变化。虽然这种转变在亚洲最为明显，但整个拉丁美洲、东欧和非洲国家也经历了快速的经济增长。在过去30年里，全球生活在绝对贫困中的人数急剧下降。

哪些政策和投资使各国充分开发了其自然资源和人民的潜力？发展经济学主要围绕这个问题展开。在过去的50年里，这一领域研究迅猛发展，使我们能够了解个人、家庭和公司的行为特性，以及他们的行为是如何形成及受到外部因素（包括公共政策）的影响。

这次短期课程将让学生们领略发展经济学的广阔领域。我们将研究一些具有开创性的经济发展理论，同时也将在微观层面探讨理解经济发展过程中所做的丰富的实证研究。这门课程将特别侧重于劳动和就业、人力资本（即教育、卫生和营养）和人口统计学（即人口、死亡率和生育率）等问题。

Over the last 50 years, the world has been transformed – as never before in human history – by the rapid economic development of previously under-developed economies. While the transformation has been most visible in Asia, countries throughout Latin America, Eastern Europe and Africa have also experienced rapid economic growth. The number of people in the world living in absolute poverty has fallen dramatically over the last 30 years.

What are the policies and investments that allow countries to develop the full potential of their natural resources and their people? The field of development economics is largely centered around this question. Over the past 50 years, the field has expanded rapidly and allowed us to understand how individuals, households, and firms behave and how their behavior both shapes and is influenced by external factors, including public policies. 

This mini-course will attempt to give students a flavor of the vast field of development economics. We will study some of the seminal theories of economic development, but also address the rich empirical research that has been done in understanding the process of economic development at the micro level. The course will focus particularly on issues of labor and employment, human capital (namely, education, health, and nutrition), and economic demography (namely, population, mortality and fertility).
