Nah, for most of them it's all there, you just have to look a little bit harder. The only exceptions are countries with no functional government (DRC, Somalia) or who cut themselves off from the world (North Korea).

Development =/= equality.

China is gay. There will be hundreds of thousands of other students doing China. Focus on somewhere cool, like Turkey, Georgia, Ghana, Angola etc. Not only are they rockin' and deserve more limelight than they get, you won't be handing in the same boring shit as every other student and the...

Pretty sure you're speaking Portuguese or something buddy.

Haven't done 3104 but I can tell you that whilst 3101 is interesting it's also as easy as shit. I got 92. It all just plugging numbers into formulas and finding *basic* first derivatives.

If it's just a free option and you have 12 units to spend, I would recommend Experimental Economics (prerequisite) and then Behavioural Economics instead. They're good courses run by Andreas Ortmann and it's basically a continuation of one into the other. They also teach you a lot more than...

Results unknown; given they weren't advertised, the results probably showed no effect - selection...

Pretty sure you'll find it's a placebo effect. I'd love to see an experiment where subjects are given an exam to do then all are given the same meal, 1/3 told it'll increase performance, 1/3 told it will decrease and 1/3 told nothing and then they have to do an exam again. Would put money on...
