The course consists of 25 lectures and 10 review classes. A new topic is introduced each week and typically covered in two lectures. Review classes will be held periodically to discuss written assignments and to help prepare students for midterm and final exams.

The main theme of the course is that development policy should be evidence based. All theoretical propositions and assumptions should be subjected to rigorous empirical analysis. Students will learn to formulate testable hypotheses and objectively assess the evidence before accepting or rejecting development theories. This is essential preparation for writing a master's thesis in the second year of the MPP program.
