Topic outline

  • In this section I will collect some links to useful online resources and material that is relevant for the course, and upload some of the reading material for the course (see literature list for details). 

    • Our World in Data and the SDG-Tracker are collaborative efforts between researchers at the University of Oxford, who are the scientific editors of the website content; and the non-profit organization Global Change Data Lab, who publishes and maintains the website and the data tools. It is a public good. 



    • A platform that publishes short pieces that summarize recent scientific articles in Development Economics and adapts them to a broader audience. Also has a podcast. From their own page: 

      "VoxDev is a platform for economists, policymakers, practitioners, donors, the private sector and others interested in development to discuss key policy issues. Expert contributors provide insightful commentary, analysis, and evidence on a wide range of policy challenges in formats that we hope are accessible to a wide audience interested in development."
