From Right to Left in Development Theory
Author: Kevin P. Clements
Publisher: Institute of Southeast Asian
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 49
Book Description
The paper explores the central assumptions of the Neo-Classical, Structuralist, and Marxist theories of development in order to determine how these theories create real political parameters. The conclusion is that radical diagnoses of development/underdevelopment dominate academic thinking but conservative theories dominate policy formation. Given a choice between a flexible exchange rate policy and a national liberation struggle, policy makers in the Third World will opt for flexible exchange rates while justifying their actions in terms of more radical rhetoric.

Development Theory and the Economics of Growth
Author: Jaime Ros
Publisher: University of Michigan Press
ISBN: 9780472088478
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
Why are some countries richer than others? Why do some economies grow so much faster than others do? Do economies tend to converge at similar levels of per capita income? Or is catching up simply impossible? These questions have vast implications for human welfare. After a period of lack of interest in growth theory, they are back on the research agenda of mainstream economics. They have also been at the heart of development economics since its inception some decades ago. This book endeavors to answer such questions by blending classical contributions to development theory with recent developments in the economics of growth. The unifying theme is that early theoretical insights and accumulated empirical knowledge of development economics have much to offer to research in the theory and empirics of economic growth. With the help of a number of recent contributions, the ideas and insights of the classical literature in development economics can be given simple and rigorous formulations. Together, they amount to an approach to growth theory that can overcome the long-recognized empirical shortcomings of neoclassical growth economics, while being free from the objections that can be raised against the new brand of endogenous growth theory. In addition to an original thesis on the contribution that early development theory can make to the research program of modern growth economics, the book provides professional and research economists and graduate students with an evaluation of the strengths and limitations of the different strands of inquiry in the modern economics of growth. In addition it presents findings on comparative growth performance across countries. Jaime Ros is Professor of Economics and Faculty Fellow of the Helen Kellogg Institute of International Studies, University of Notre Dame.

Notes and Problems in Number Theory (Volume I)
Author: Taha Sochi
Publisher: Taha Sochi
ISBN:
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
This book is the first volume of a collection of notes and solved problems about number theory. Like my previous books, maximum clarity was one of the main objectives and criteria in determining the style of writing, presenting and structuring the book as well as selecting its contents. Modest mathematical background knowledge is required for understanding most of the contents of the book. In fact, the book in most parts requires no more than a college or secondary school level of general mathematics. So, the intended readers of the book are primarily college (or A-level) students as well as junior undergraduate students (e.g. in mathematics or science or engineering). The book can be used as a text or as a reference for an introductory course on this subject and may also be used for general reading in mathematics. The book may also be adopted as a source of pedagogical materials which can supplement, for instance, tutorial sessions (e.g. in undergraduate courses on mathematics or science).
