Comparative Development
Ce cours est une introduction à la théorie de la croissance unifiée, qui essaie de comprendre l'évolution de l'économie pour toute l'histoire de l'humanité.
Un élément central de cette théorie est la relation entre la consommation par tête, l'effet du progrès technologique sur la dépréciation du capital humain et comment ces deux facteurs déterminent le niveau d'éducation.
Enfin, nous verrons également quelques applications empiriques de la théorie pour illustrer ses concepts clés.

Development Policy 2
The Overlapping Generations (OLG) Model is a macroeconomic framework that departs from the Ramsey model by assuming that individuals only live for some periods or time, which creates heterogeneity across generations.
Unlike the Ramsey model, the decentralized solution to the OLG model may not be optimal, and government intervention may be necessary.
For instance, the OLG model shows that creating a public pension system may be optimal.
The OLG model is very flexible and can accommodate a large range of assumptions.
We revisit some papers that change the baseline model in interesting ways.

Méthodologie de la Recherche
This course presents some ideas and methods for conducting replication studies in economics.
We will discuss the challenges and best practices in the field, as well as the role of replication in the scientific process.
We present tools that can help researchers design and implement replication studies effectively: Stata, Python and Quarto; and Git.
