>Designed for students who are interested in the challenge posed by 
>massive and persistent world poverty. Examines extreme poverty over 
>time to see if it is no longer a threat, why some countries grow 
>fast and others fall further behind, if growth or foreign aid help 
>the poor, what we can do about corruption, if markets or NGOs should 
>be left to deal with poverty, where to intervene, and how to deal 
>with the disease burden and improve schools.
>A. Banerjee, E. Duflo

>  Please note that this course has no prerequisite and is open to all students
>  interested in learning about poverty and development, irrespective of
>  their backgrounds and field of studies (although students who have
>  already taken several economics classes may want to take more advanced
>  courses). It can be used as part of a concentration in economics, or a
>  concentration in development economics (14.01, 14.73, and a choice
>  of 14.74 or 14.75).
