This course includes topics at both the macro and micro level. We will study theoretical and historical background and use analytical tools to better understand the major macroeconomic problems and the evolution of economic policies in Latin America. We will focus particularly on the impact that these problems and policies have on poverty and inequality. Throughout the course, we will pay close attention to issues related to labor markets, demographics, education, and health.
