The book begins by introducing the quantitative approach to development economics. Each section uses data to illustrate key policy issues. Part One focuses on the basics of understanding the role of education, technology and institutions in determining why incomes differ so much across individuals and countries. In Part Two, the focus is on techniques to address a number of topics in development, including how firms invest, how households decide how much to spend on their children's education, whether microcredit helps the poor, whether food aid works, who gets private schooling and whether property rights enhance investment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA distinctive feature of the book is its presentation of a range of approaches to studying development questions. Development economics has undergone a major change in focus over the last decade with the rise of experimental methods to address development issues; this book shows how these methods relate to more traditional ones.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003ePlease visit the book's website at www.empiricalde.com for online supplements including Stata files and solutions to the exercises.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMåns Söderbom\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics, School of Business, Economics and Law, University of Gothenburg, Sweden. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrancis Teal\u003c\/strong\u003e is Research Associate, CSAE, University of Oxford and Managing Editor Oxford Economic Papers, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarkus Eberhardt is Assistant Professor in Economics, School of Economics, University of Nottingham, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimon Quinn is Associate Professor in Economics and Deputy Director of the Centre for the Study of African Economies, Department of Economics, University of Oxford, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrew Zeitlin\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor at the McCourt School of Public Policy, Georgetown University, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 434\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.95 x 9.72 x 6.89 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 23, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47200666517753,"sku":"9780415810494","price":170.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Um9TcGoxMDNPUld6WlJaSHpYTDY1QT09.webp?v=1767978282","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/empirical-development-economics-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
