Lucas Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Hello, I am writing one of my commentaries about development economics. It is based on tied aid in an African LEDC, that will improve its transportation infrastructure. I am going to draw a PPC with an outward shift, but I don't know about a second diagram since a Lorenz curve would not fit my topic. Does the poverty cycle count as a proper diagram? And can I use any diagrams from other sections of the course because there is really only a few diagrams in development economics. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infested Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Yes, as far as I remember essay questions on development economics almost always include diagrams from other sections, or none at all. Even document-based questions on development economics will tend to ask about concepts from other sections like micro/macroeconomics. A suitable diagram for your case could possibly be one which shows the change in aggregate supply/demand, depending on whether you are looking at long-term or short-term. You could draw a poverty cycle, but I don't recommend it as it's a very self-explanatory diagram and the amount of words you spend explaining it won't yield very much value, and explaining a diagram like the PPC or AD/AS would be more meaningful. PM me if you have any further questions, I'd be happy to help 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
