Development economics deals with economic aspects of the development process in low-income countries. It explores different methods to promote economic development, growth and structural change and to improve the potential for the mass of the population, for example, through health and education and workplace conditions, whether through public or private channels. Several aspects of development economics are studied at Labex MME-DII. First, the question of how the country’s political and economic outcomes will be influenced by international trade and foreign investments. In particular, one can study the impact of market constraints on firm organization, on the structure and the dynamics of the industry and on the development prospects of the country. Second, the issue of access to education, health services and micro-credit in developing countries. Third the study of market imperfections and the design of efficient institutions which allow for an optimal use of the available resources and stimulate growth.
