A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Concepts of economic growth and development

This topic introduces the meaning of economic growth and economic development, and shows why they are related but not identical concepts. For the exam, you must master the definitions, indicators, differences, and practical implications, because many questions test whether you can distinguish mere increases in output from broader improvements in welfare and structural change.
