This course provides necessary inputs to understand the sources of economic growth, international trade, and globalization mainly from the policy perspective of developing countries in the Asia Pacific region. It is more of a policy-analysis course than a pure theoretical course. Drawing on the most relevant theories, this course will answer important development questions of “How do some countries grow faster than others? What are the sources of growth? What is the role of international trade in the growth process of a country? Why do governments in developing countries follow the so called restrictive trade policies? Has globalization contributed to reduction in poverty across developing countries? Can Official Development Assistance be used for climate change mitigation and adaptation?” The course will discuss in details some of the important analytical methodologies that are followed in the literature to answer the above questions empirically. Though lecture notes in the form of power point presentations are given, students need to read the papers included in the reading brick along with the readings suggested below. Further readings may be given.

Students’ will be asked to form a group of 3 students to work collectively on a research topic agreed by the lecturer. Each group needs to collectively make a presentation in the class and needs to submit a final version of their research at the end of the course.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

After completing the course, you will be able to :

• Understand the effects of tariffs and subsidies on trade patterns and the welfare of trading nations.
• Explain how international negotiations and agreements have promoted world trade.
• Identify and measure the sources of economic growth using conventional and advanced methods with particular reference to the Asian countries.

Research-Led Teaching

This course discusses the growth process and its determinants of the developed and the emerging economies in Asia. The important policy question that provides answers is as to whether the growth process is unique to those Asian countries. Hence, the course consists of mainly research-led teaching drawing heavily on empirical analyses and publications.

Field Trips

Required Resources

Power point lecture presentations; tutorial questions and solutions will be provided. Access to Reading brick with relevant journal publications will be provided.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a core part of our culture as a community of scholars. At its heart, academic integrity is about behaving ethically. This means that all members of the community commit to honest and responsible scholarly practice and to upholding these values with respect and fairness. The Australian National University commits to embedding the values of academic integrity in our teaching and learning. We ensure that all members of our community understand how to engage in academic work in ways that are consistent with, and actively support academic integrity. The ANU expects staff and students to uphold high standards of academic integrity and act ethically and honestly, to ensure the quality and value of the qualification that you will graduate with. The University has policies and procedures in place to promote academic integrity and manage academic misconduct. Visit the following Academic honesty & plagiarism website for more information about academic integrity and what the ANU considers academic misconduct. The ANU offers a number of services to assist students with their assignments, examinations, and other learning activities.
