development-economics
From the author
Economics of low-income countries and the structural transformation from agrarian poverty to industrial prosperity. Covers growth models (Solow, endogenous growth, unified growth theory), the role of institutions (inclusive vs. extractive), inequality measurement and dynamics (Gini, Lorenz curve, Kuznets), poverty traps and their mechanisms (nutritional, financial, geographical), foreign aid debates, and the capability approach as an alternative development metric. Use when analyzing why some countries are rich and others poor, evaluating development interventions, or reasoning about the relationships between growth, inequality, institutions, and human well-being.
