Development Economics: Theory and Practice
Autor Alain de Janvry, Elisabeth Sadouleten Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2021
Alain de Janvry and Elisabeth Sadoulet identify seven key dimensions of development—growth, poverty, vulnerability, inequality, basic needs, sustainability, and quality of life—and use them to structure the contents of the text. The book gives a historical perspective on the evolution of thought in development. It uses theory and empirical analysis to present readers with a full picture of how development works, how its successes and failures can be assessed, and how alternatives can be introduced. The authors demonstrate how diagnostics, design of programs and policies, and impact evaluation can be used to seek new solutions to the suffering and violence caused by development failures.
In the second edition, more attention has been given to ongoing developments, such as:
- pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals
- continuously rising global and national inequality
- health as a domestic and international public good
- cash transfers for social protection
- carbon trading for sustainability
This unique text is ideal for those taking courses in development economics, economic growth, and development policy, and will provide an excellent foundation for those wishing to pursue careers in development.

Recenzii
Praise for the first edition:
"This is a great book that fills many gaps in the existing textbook options, including rich material coming out of the RCT revolution, while sustaining depth on the classic questions in development." — Samuel Bazzi, Professor of Economics at Boston University, USA.
"Overall, I strongly recommend using this textbook for economic development. It is rich with material, examples, and case studies. It includes extensive discussions on data and studies using the randomized control trial approach, which is widely used in development research nowadays." — Rotua Lumbantobing, Assistant Professor of Economics at Western Connecticut State University, USA
