ECN 295-01 - Special Topic: Korea’s Economic Development

2 credits (Fall)

A primary goal of this course is to determine which basic models of economic development best explain Korea’s remarkable record of economic growth and to assess whether Korea’s experience provides useful insights for other countries at earlier stages of economic development. Class members have the opportunity to travel to Korea in January, 2013 to meet with Korean government officials, academics, business leaders and non-profit organizations, which will allow us to hear how many Koreans interpret those same two questions and will provide a chance to interact directly with those individuals.
