for family or village-level informal arrangements in the absence of complete
markets, and to the causes of high fertility, infant mortality and child
labour. Elements of contract and game theory are introduced and utilized.

Why is it that what works for Germany might not work for Greece and what works for India might not work for Kenya? Anthropology is the science of cultural diversity that can help us understand the great variety of outcomes in economic and human development at a macro and micro level.
What is culture, how it shapes our thoughts, our values and behaviors, and how it relates to social, political, economic and environmental facts, is discussed in the first part of this course.
On this basis, the second part deals with the anthropological study of development work and its understanding of the causes and circumstances of successes and failures in the field.

Impact Evaluation is the study of causal relations between a program, policy or intervention and outcomes of interest.

In the second module, popular impact analysis techniques will be presented focussing on the conditioning approaches ( reg analysis and matching) with applications to development policies and stata code.

Both education and health are important determinants of human capital which is widely recognised as a key issue for individual well-being and economic development. On the education side, the course first explores the determinants of educational decisions. It investigates the basic model of education as a human capital investment, discussing the difference between private and social returns to education, and models of education as a signalling and a screening device. The roles of human capital for growth are then analysed, by taking also into account the channels through which education and growth may be linked to the process of democratization of a country.
On the health side, the course analyses the basic model on the demand for health as a consumption good, a capital investment, and an input into production, stressing the importance of complementarities between health and education. In particular, the demand for health insurance is examined with a particular focus on the optimal insurance policies with adverse selection and moral hazard. The course also analyses some elements of economic epidemiology: understanding how diseases spread is critical to measuring the costs of an epidemic and designing policies to limit them. Finally, the course illustrates the peculiarities of the pharmaceutical industry, especially with reference to the trade-off between promoting competition and intellectual property protection. The differences between pharmaceutical markets in Less Developed Countries and Developed Countries are emphasized, and different types of public Research & Development incentives are discussed.- Docente: GRAZZINI LISA
