This year-long course (Economics 2390d) is offered to graduate students for academic credit. The students and faculty leading the workshop meet weekly to discuss papers on international economics, development, and economic relations between the industrialized and less industrialized countries. Faculty participants are drawn from the Department of Economics and the John F. Kennedy School of Government, as well as other departments and schools of the University. The workshop also invites economists from other universities and research institutions to present their work. The papers presented are always available before each talk and are posted on the Web site for the course.

For more information, interested Harvard doctoral students may contact Professors Michael Kremer and Lakshmi Iyer, who are directing the workshop during 2007-2008.
