This is a capstone course that enables students to deploy a variety of analytical tools to process and interpret available data and formulate a coherent diagnostic that can make sense of simultaneous observations about growth and social outcomes within a particular context. It covers the theory and practice of the Economic Complexity and Growth Diagnostics frameworks, drawing on empirical research, case studies, and real world-data to map opportunities for productive diversification, identify the most binding constraints preventing them from materializing, and formulating data-driven productive development policies (PDPs) to overcome them.

Notes

Lectures will meet in-person in January and March and remotely in February; discussion sessions will meet in-person throughout the quarter. Attendance at discussion sessions is required for this course.
