Drawing upon the foundations laid in the sophomore year, this tutorial will explore comparative advantages, balance of payments, and macroeconomic adjustment. Methodologically, it will shift from deductive critical analysis of the sophomore year to empirical inference, relating theory to evidence as a mode of discovering probable truth. (This latter mode--descriptive assumptions, behavioral hypothesis, empirical test--is the predominate technique of research papers and of Honors theses.) Empirically, the focus in on Nigeria and Taiwan over the period 1960-2000. |
