Counterfactual Causal Analysis. An immense amount of important work has been done in statistics and economics in the past several decades developing a formal counterfactual approach to causal analysis.

It is widely believed that, in the context of the developing world, access to capital is one of the crucial determinants of prosperity. Through close study of specific transactions this course will explore legal and economic aspects of some of the channels through which capital tends to flow to the inhabitants of developing countries. The types of transactions examined will include sovereign lending, foreign aid, project financing, development banking, and micro-lending. In addition to canvassing the relevant academic literature, for each type of transaction we will review examples of actual transactions. These course materials are made available to anyone wishing to teach or study the topic of financing development. Contents of the Course The readings in the introductory section set out the intellectual underpinnings of the course. Unit 1: Introduction Reading Links. Global governance - Our work.
