中文简介 改革开放40年我国贫困人口减少了近7亿,对全球贫困人口数量减少的贡献超过90%。但截至2018年底我国仍有1660多万农村贫困人口。为何我国能取得如此巨大的减贫成就?新形势下如何实现脱贫攻坚目标?如何理解我国收入差距的变化?如何成功跨越中等收入陷阱,促进经济社会转型?

针对这些问题,本课程将首先介绍发展经济学基本理论,然后从自然区位环境、人口和家庭婚育行为、劳动力就业和迁徙、农村公共物品提供和人力资本培育等角度回顾我国的发展历程,总结发展经验,剖析进一步发展面临的挑战。最后本课程将通过分享授课教师多年来开展的大量试验研究,与大家共同探索如何通过提升人力资本助力我国成功跨越中等收入陷阱。

本课程旨在丰富学生在发展经济学方面的基本理论知识和实证分析方法,了解该领域的学科进展,脚踏实地的感受中国农村减贫和发展的脉搏。
