The Module

Group support for EC307 Development Economics at LSE

Examines the microeconomic foundations of development, including poverty, inequality, education, health, labour and capital markets, governance, firms, trade and climate. Students combine theory and econometric evidence to assess constraints and evaluate development policies.

Our EC307 group sessions are designed to make the module feel more manageable. Sessions can focus on clarifying lecture material, rebuilding foundations, working through problem sets, data exercises, coding tasks and exam-style questions, and developing a clearer strategy for revision and assessed work.

Because everyone in the group is studying the same LSE module, sessions stay closely focused on the particular methods, notation and types of question students encounter in EC307.

What students often find difficult
  • Understanding the main concepts without losing sight of the bigger picture
  • Applying the theory to problem sets, data exercises, coding tasks and exam-style questions
  • Knowing how much detail is expected in assessed answers
  • Building a clear revision plan when the module starts to feel cumulative

Working in a small group also gives students the opportunity to see how others approach the same problem and to learn from questions they may not have thought to ask themselves.

How the sessions can help
  • Reviewing the intuition behind the core methods
  • Working through problem sets step by step
  • Interpreting output, results and applied examples
  • Building confidence with exam-style questions
  • Focusing on the exact parts of EC307 that the group finds unclear

The aim is not simply to work through solutions, but to make sure students understand the methods well enough to apply them independently.

Topics we can cover

Poverty and inequality
Education and health
Labour and capital markets
Governance and firms
Trade and climate
Econometric policy evaluation
