Suppose that you are advising a developing country government. Based on what you have
learned in the course so far, write an-essay to explain a few of the most important things that the
government should remember when it is choosing policies to facilitate development. (Note that
there is not a correct answer or set of answers to this questionthere are many important
things that a government should consider.)
The paper is going to be marked on: i) the quality of the writing, ii) your ability to integrate a
considerable amount of course material while still only focusing on three or four different things.
You do not need to provide references for the material from the lectures, but you should provide
page references for material from the textbook, particularly material that has not been covered in
the lectures. This is NOT a research paper. Therefore, all of the ideas and content in the paper
should be from the course material, and your reflections on or linkages between the different
pieces of course material.
The paper should be no more than 2 pages, double-spaced, 12 point font, with 1 inch margins.
(You obviously cannot discuss everything given this constraint).
