授業の目的および内容

This course will cover various topics of development finance. The first part of this course is dedicated to policy issues of development finance and related theories. In the second part, we will discuss country or region-specific issues of development finance and consider policy recommendations based on macroeconomic situations and MDGs. Having a good understanding of all the core courses of the EDP&M program would be preferable. Especially, Development Macroeconomics is prerequisite for this course.

授業の工夫

修士については、ほとんどの学生が学部で経済を学んでいない中、前期、コースワークで基礎を学んでもらっています。本講義は後期の応用科目になりますので、一歩進んで、開発金融の情報を、自分なりに整理し、エコノミストのように発信できることを目指すため、講義の最後では各受講学生に、自分でまとめた国別ケーススタディを発表してもらい議論をする機会を設けています。

経済開発政策とマネジメントプログラムでは、すべての講義を英語で行っており、よってこの講義の議論および発表も英語で行われてます。

Most of the students entering our Economic Development Policy and Management program have not received their undergraduate degrees in economics. Therefore, we provide the coursework in the first semester for all the students to learn the principles of development economics and statistics. Subsequently, in the second semester, we offer several applied courses. This course is one of those applied ones and, in this course, one of the main objectives is the development of good presentation skills. Students are asked to organize the information available regarding Development Finance of one country and project the information rebuilt as an economist. Discussions following their presentations give students some opportunities to learn each other as well.

All the courses are provided in English in our program so presentations and discussions in this course are conducted in English.
