I have an economic development midterm on thrusday. I find it hard to know exactly what to study. I feel I have the basics down, but cannot corner the small peice of information that will make the difference between an A and a B. I feel the difficulty of studying for exams is a part of being an econ major that recieves little credit. Although effort intensive, writting papers comes with a level of perdictable results. Where as econ midterms have a high degree of grade variance. Thrusday's exam will depend mainly on what questions Giorgio asks and how well I prepare my answers. Sounds simple huh? Well not so much when questions ask how the development of financial institutions will affect rural-urban migration.
(It depends on which theory of rural urban migration you believe: it will decrease under the portfolio investment theory and change in an uncertain direction under the Harris-Todarro model. Just incase you were wondering.)
