How does the financial system shape economic development? The course provides a broad overview of key topics and the specific challenges faced by countries of the Global South. At the macro level, we study patterns of financial development and economic growth; the historical role of finance in state-led development strategies; financial crises; as well as debates around exchange rates and capital account management. We also study topics at the household level, and challenges related to financial access among low-income households. Students engage with both classic theories and current debates, gaining a critical understanding of how finance can drive or hinder development. The lecture offers an overview of key issues, while the accompanying seminar teaches research methods and guides students in writing a term paper on a topic of their choice. Schließen
