Poverty, Inequality and Development

Traditionally, there have been two strands in the analysis of poverty, inequality and development ? a micro strand that focuses on individual behavior, welfare economics and the measurement of inequality and poverty., and a macro strand that analyzes economy-wide policies and the role of institutions. This unique volume brings together both strands in a series of essays written by leading experts in the field of economic development. Topics include measurement issues, micro-behavior determinants of poverty outcomes, economy-wide models in the SAM-CGE tradition and the institutional framework underlying macro policies.

Scholars, researchers, academic libraries, and practitioners, the book might be assigned as an upper-level undergraduate or graduate level reader
