This second edition of Development Economics: Theory and Practice continues to provide students and practitioners with the perspectives and tools they need to think analytically and critically about the current major economic development issues in the world.

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 text is fully engaged with the most cutting-edge research in the field and equips readers with analytical tools for impact evaluation of development programs and policies, illustrated with numerous examples. It is underpinned throughout by a wealth of student-friendly features, including case studies, quantitative problem sets, end-of-chapter questions, and extensive references. Excel and Stata exercises are available as digital supplements for students and instructors.

    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.

    Review

    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

      5.0 out of 5 stars Equations on the e-book
      Reviewed in the United States on 13 January 2022

      This note from the authors is to certify to readers that the problem with equations on the e-book has been fixed by the publisher after receiving the warning from Kevin Mann.

      1.0 out of 5 stars Book does not display equations
      Reviewed in the United States on 21 August 2021
      Verified Purchase
      (update - one month later) The e-book continues to randomly leave certain equations. I contacted the publisher and went back forth with a few emails and supplied some screenshots of certain instances of the issue, but they have since fallen out of contact (last email was from 3 weeks ago). I've lowered the review to 1-star because of this. NOTE: It's not a review of the book itself, the material is fantastic and digestibly conveyed. But to pay as much as students do for books and then to be written off when their product is literally incomplete (like buying a bike with a missing gear) is unacceptable. Most of the equations presented in the text are not easy to come by and finding the correlates on Google would be tedious guesswork.

      (original review) Bought this e-book for school, but there are random spots that seem to be meant for an equation but the info. is randomly missing. Hoping the publisher can do something about this, considering the cost of the text. (This happens more than once in the first chapter, haven't read past that yet.)
