The economics of development as a field of economics has achieved significant successes in selective dimensions of development – particularly in the rapid increase of income, the reduction of extreme poverty, and the growing satisfaction of basic needs – in certain countries and among specific segments of their populations.
However, continuous failures have been observed in other dimensions of development, particularly in vulnerability to shocks, increasing inequality and injustice, and unsustainable development.
This book is intended for advanced undergraduate students in economics and for graduate students in public policy, development practice, or related academic disciplines. It provides a broad perspective on the contributions and mechanisms of development and analyzes the theoretical and empirical analytical techniques that development economists can apply.
We hope that the contribution of the book for students will not be limited to acquiring the skills of a development economist and their favorable integration into the labor market, but that it will inspire them and give them the opportunity to reap the diverse benefits that development thinking and practice can offer economists as conscientious global citizens.
