Economic Development Policy and Management (EDP&M) Program

(新 「経済開発政策・マネジメント」 プログラム)

Graduate School of International Development, Nagoya University

(by EDP&M Program Faculty: July 2020)

The EDP&M program deals with the issues and topics pertaining to economic development

that constitute the core of socio-economic development. This program trains students to

become career development economists or other experts in economic development who can

contribute to poverty reduction through economic growth via increased income and

employment creation. Facing the multi-dimensional development problems of the 21st

century, development economists who are well-versed in New Political Economy―a fusion

of politics, economics, and culture― are needed. Economists should consider both

traditional and new agents in development, socio-economic institutions and embedded

culture in a comprehensive manner to effectively situate economic development in a broad

context of socio-economic development. With the former Rural and Regional Development

Management Program merging into this program starting in April 2018, the program

contains rural and agricultural development as one of the key areas of focus. In addition to

the basic subjects for economic development such as Development Economics, Development

Macroeconomics, Development Microeconomics and Statistics/Econometrics, the EDP&M

program offers the following focal areas while preparing students for their professional

careers: Poverty-Growth-Inequality Triangle, Globalization and Development, Rural

Economics and Development, Industrial Development, Tourism Economics and

Development, Development Finance and Public Financial Management, among other

related areas. In pursuing teaching and research in these key areas, the program stresses

the importance of creating an optimal mix of ideas and concepts, theoretical frameworks,

case studies, field work, and rigorous qualitative and quantitative analyses for us to support

evidence-based policy making and execution. The EDP&M program also possesses a global

network of development policy makers, practitioners and researchers consisting of our

program alumni and collaborating researchers and practitioners, for us to tap into their

accumulated knowledge and experience in managing economic development.

Message to Applicants/Students:

Although living standards have improved in many countries in recent decades, persisting inequality,

slowdowns in productivity, and the unintended consequences of globalization have reasserted the importance of

international collaboration for evidence-based policymaking in developed and developing alike. The

availability of satellite imagery, big data, business microdata, and historical national accounts has been an

important step toward looking into the black box of globalization and rethinking modern development

economics. Through data analysis and economic theory, our seminar explores the various economic

development drivers and how to design and implement effective policies.
