The course is multidisciplinary, drawing from the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. It employs quantitative and qualitative methods as needed, but provides training for students who need it to master those methods. This course aims to develop an understanding of economic principles and apply them to sustainable schemes. Its approach is to analyze the earth and its human populations as a coupled social-environmental system, coevolving through time. Its goal is to help you understand how that co-evolution can be guided toward sustainable development, which this course will define, following international conventions as “development that improves the well-being of people in ways that do not diminish the prospects of people elsewhere or in future generations. The principles of development economics are the keys to understanding how we got to where we are, how great progress has been made in recent years, and why many development problems remain so difficult to solve.
