MGT565 Economic Development of Korea

This course is a blend of a survey of various theories on economic growth and an analysis of the Korean economy. In order to build a framework for the analysis of the Korean economy, various growth models, including neoclassical growth models, endogenous growth models, and R&D-based growth models, will be studied. Based on the intermediate knowledge on economic growth, the process and characteristics of the development of the Korean economy will be analyzed and discussed. A working knowledge of calculus is needed.

First, we will review some stylized facts on economic growth. Then, by studying existing growth models, we try to understand why some countries produce much more output per worker than others. In particular, the focus will be on the mechanics of the accumulation of various production factors such as labor or human capital, physical capital, and technological knowledge. In addition, recent models emphasizing R&D (technology) and social infrastructure as major determinants of economic growth will also be studied.

Second, we will apply the predictions and implications of the various growth models to the evolution of the Korean economy. In doing so, we will discuss government policies, business strategies, and social infrastructure as well as future strategies for economic prosperity.
