Outline and Purpose of the Course	Economic Analysis of Developing Countries and Its Application to Economics
Course Goals	Familiarize yourself with the analysis of developing and transitioning economies using normal economics.
Schedule and Contents	In the first half of the current school year, we plan to read various textbooks, as a group in the field of development economics. Shown below are some textbooks as examples, and they can be selected according to the student's preferences. While the mentioned textbooks are in English, there is no particular preference that they need to be in English. We may also choose a textbook written in Japanese. As of now, Perkins, D. et al ed., Economics of Development (7th Edition), W. W. Norton & Company, 2012 Perkins, D., The Economic Transformation of China, Imperial College Press, 2015 are planned to be used. At this stage with the textbooks, not much knowledge of statistics and econometrics is required, but I would like you to make some effort toward understanding such analysis. At the same time, we will work on quantitative analysis using actual data from econometric software. It is another effective way to learn econometrics. Each session is planned according to the following schedule: Session 1: Orientation and consultation on how the seminar will be conducted Session 2: Reports and discussions of the read literature (1) Session 3: Discussion on strategies and plans for statistical and econometric analysis based on the literature read in the second session Session 4: Reports and discussions on the results of implementing statistical and econometric analysis based on the literature read in the second session Session 5: Reports and discussions of the read literature (2) Session 6: Discussion on strategies and plans for statistical and econometric analysis based on the literature read in the fifth session Session 7: Reports and discussions on the results of implementing statistical and econometric analysis based on the literature read in the fifth session Session 8: Reports and discussions of the read literature (3) Session 9: Discussion on strategies and plans for statistical and econometric analysis based on the literature read in the eighth session Session 10: Reports and discussions on the results of implementing statistical and econometric analysis based on the literature read in the eighth session Session 11: Reports and discussions of the read literature (4) Session 12: Discussion on strategies and plans for statistical and econometric analysis based on the literature read in the eleventh session Session 13: Reports and discussions on the results of implementing statistical and econometric analysis based on the literature read in the eleventh session Session 14: Summary of discussions on the read literature Session 15: Summary of the implementation of statistical and econometric analysis and improvement plans going forward
Evaluation Methods and Policy	Your reports during the seminars are given the maximum weightage (60%) in evaluation, but a proactive stance during the discussions is also considered (40%).
Course Requirements	Participation in the seminar is conditioned on either already earned credits in "Basic Statistics" and "Economic Statistics" or earning credits along with this seminar. It is hoped that the students will also take the "Econometrics" course.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review)	Instructions will be given during the class.
