About Master of Arts - Development Economics

Economic development remains a critical issue for more than three-quarters of the world’s population who reside in countries classified as “low income” or “middle income". The causes and consequences of economic development remain contested issues. This academic program considers the changing global, regional and national contexts for economic development;  the policy lessons that can be learned from comparative studies;  and the tools required to enable development economists to contribute to the development process.

Economic development cannot be studied in isolation from other dimensions of development. An understanding of poverty, for example, requires not only economic analysis but also an understanding of the insights provided by other social and health sciences. The training of a development economist must therefore expose students to interdisciplinary approaches to development.
