Description
Choose any 4 of 6 (@6 points each=24 points)
- Why are the prices of nontradable goods generally lower in Developing Countries than in developed ones? Is the Purchasing Power Parity exchange rate for a Developing Country typically weaker or stronger against the U.S. dollar than the market exchange rate?
- Why did economists once expect countries to converge in living standards? What has been happening in reality over the years?
- What two factors determine the growth of output in the Harrod-Domar model? Why does it not have a steady state?
- In what sense is the Lewis model in perpetual motion (i.e., why does it not have a steady state)? Provide an example of why its assumptions may not be realistic in a Developing Country.
- What factors determine the steady state in the Solow model? What happens to the steady state output per worker if a natural disaster strikes causing depreciation to rise radically?
- For a household to be poor according to the Multidimensional Poverty Index, what two things have to be true? Provide an example of an MPI indicator that may not be representative of true deprivation.
Required 2 (@5 points each=10 points)
- Why does Amartya Sen in Development as Freedom say that a country that is democratic and enjoys a free press will never experience famine? Why do famines seem to occur under regimes that are alienated from the affected populations?
- According to the late Hans Rosling (in the video), why is the “divided world” that existed in 1970 disappearing? According to him, is it better to become healthy first or wealthy first? How does he demonstrate his point?
Choose any 3 (@17=51 points):
- Explain why countries rank differently on the Human Development Index (HDI) and Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) than on Gross National Income Per Capita (GNIPC). What factors tend to make Developing Countries score higher on the HDI or MPI than on GNIPC? Evaluate the following statement: donor countries and multilateral development agencies should ignore income statistics entirely when deciding where to spend their loan and grant funds.
- Describe the nature and content of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). How do the MDGs and SDGs differ from one another? Is setting such goals, even though they may be widely missed in many important Developing Countries, a valuable exercise? Why or not? Is there anything that the SDGs miss that they should include in your view?
- Is the economic growth process in Developing Countries better captured by the well-known growth theories covered in class or by theories focusing on international dependence? If you were a policy-maker in a Developing Country who strove to stimulate economic growth — without setting off macroeconomic instability — and make society more equitable, which, if any, of the growth models would you find the most useful? Explain your answer.
- Assuming that you are a well intentioned rich-country observer of conditions in the poorer parts of the planet, are you more concerned about absolute poverty or inequality? Would the same policies serve to address both issues? Would you prefer indirect, economic-policy related approaches to assisting the poor or direct income or consumption support? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
- How does Amartya Sen in Development as Freedom deploy his concepts of capabilities and functionings to analyze the situation of women in Developing Countries? How does the situation of women in such lands illustrate the insufficiency of focusing on measurable money income at the household level? Which social indicators are most closely related to fertility and child mortality? Sen singles out the environment and agriculture as areas in Developing Countries that benefit from women playing prominent roles. In what ways do those sectors benefit? Are there lessons from those sectors that other segments of the economy and society should emulate?
