| __Lecture and reading Notes as Jupyter Notebooks__ | ||
|
|
||
| This is a repository of [jupyter notebooks] on topics in the Microeconomics of | ||
| Development. There are only a couple rough notebooks here now, but over time | ||
| these should become more numerous and more polished. Some notebooks offer | ||
| just simple analytic summaries of interesting topics or academic papers, while | ||
| others provide code for simulations and visualizations of applied theory models | ||
| to replicate and extend results. I hope to add a few replications of empirical | ||
| papers as well. Topics are drawn from the fields of trade and growth, | ||
| household economics, agrarian production structure and the equilibrium | ||
| size distribution of firms, the political economy of property rights, | ||
| institutions and policy reform, the theory of contracts and intermediation | ||
| (in markets for land, labor and financial services), as well as papers on | ||
| targeting, RCTs and program impact evaluation. | ||
|
|
||
| In its present form this is much less like a coherent sequential collection | ||
| of lecture notes and more like an idiosyncratic collection of reading notes | ||
| and materials that complement lecture notes by inviting you to explore and | ||
| extend the embedded simulations and data analyses. | ||
|
|
||
| If you click [](http://mybinder.org/repo/jhconning/Dev-II) | ||
| you will launch a cloud-based juptyer notebook server that will allow you to | ||
| run any of the notebooks interactively. Alternatively, clone this github | ||
| and run them on your own computer. | ||
|
|
||
| The following table describes the contents of the notebooks folders and links | ||
| to quick static views of the notebook content. | ||
