Faculty Contact for 2011–2012 Seminar Series:, Mark Rosenzweig, Chris Udry
This workshop is designed as a forum for graduate students and faculty
with an interest in economic problems of developing countries. Faculty,
students, and a limited number of outside speakers will discuss research
work in progress. Student participants will be encouraged to develop and
present a workshop paper in each term. The scope of topics includes:
agricultural and rural development, industrial development,
human capital investment, employment, entrepreneurship, risk
consequences, incomplete markets, poverty and income distribution,
structural transformation and the interaction of international trade and
development.
Graduate students who anticipate or are currently doing dissertation
research in these or related areas are invited to attend the Workshop, to
register for credit as appropriate and to arrange to make a presentation
of their prospectus and/or work-in-progress. They should also check
out the Development Lunch.

List if you want to receive announcements about the Development
Workshop. Papers will be available beneath the bulletin board on the
second floor of the EGC at 27
