Overview
About the program
The Globalization and Development Research Training Group at the University of Göttingen focuses on how economic globalization - by flows of capital, labor and technology - affects individuals in developing countries and how they in turn respond and shape globalization.
In more detail, we intend to connect globalization and development research in three ways, i.e., (1) by focusing on the transmission mechanisms between globalization and development at the individual and household level, (2) by studying the adaptation of households and institutions in developing countries to globalization and (3) by examining how these responses to globalization have repercussions on the globalization process itself. It is thus a common characteristic of our research program that analyses will go down to the individual or household level.
Consequently, we develop, apply, and empirically test theories with micro foundations and study micro datasets providing information about individual and household responses.
