ECO 327 • Comparative Economic Systems

Course Description

Two major sets of countries are examined to explore alternative growth policies and experiences: the economies in transition that were formerly centrally planned, and the economies of Western and Central Europe that belong to the enlarged European Union, with consideration of how a multinational economic system is emerging through the EU experience. Japan is considered as a deviant example of mature capitalism, China as a deviant transition economy, and India as an example of the restructuring experience of the less developed economies.
