    Content: For this Handbook authors known to have different views regarding the nature of development economics have been selected. The Handbook is organised around the implications of different sets of assumptions and their associated research programs. It is divided into three volumes, each with three parts which focus on the broad processes of development. Volume 1 of the Handbook begins by discussing the concept of development, its historical antecedents, and alternative approaches to the study of development, broadly construed. The second part is devoted to the structural transformation of economies. The role that human resources play in economic development is the focus of the last section of this volume

    Chapter 15 Labor markets in low-income countries (1988)

    ISBN: 0444703373
    Content: Labor being by far the most abundant resource in low-income countries, the determination of the returns to labor plays a central role in models of development. The chapter discusses the operation of low-income labor markets with reference to the models that have been and continue to be influential in shaping the study of such markets. These models are evaluated in terms of their ability to shed light on the realities of the allocation, pricing, and employment of labor in low-income countries. The chapter discusses models directly concerned with and evidence on the employment and pricing of labor in the rural (agricultural) sector. The chapter also discusses the process of determining rural wages are and their rigidity, the social and private costs of reallocating labor from agriculture to other activities, labor supply behavior, labor market dualism, and unemployment determination. The chapter describes risk-mitigating and effort-eliciting contractual arrangements involving rural labor and the organization of the agricultural enterprise in an environment characterized by incomplete markets. The chapter discusses the issue of whether labor is efficiently allocated across sectors and across geographical areas and problems of barriers to mobility. Models of migration incorporating human capital investments, information and capital constraints, uncertainty with respect to employment, riskiness in annual incomes, temporary migration, remittances, and heterogeneity in preferences and abilities among workers are discussed. The chapter also discusses urban labor markets, and addresses issues concerning the duality of urban labor markets and unemployment determination. The chapter highlights issues of importance to the study of developing economiesin particular, life cycle and intergenerational labor market mobility.

    ISBN: 0444703373
    Content: This chapter presents a discussion on the economic organization, information, and development. The chapter sets out the basic tenets of the theory and contrasts these with some alternative hypotheses. The chapter also discusses the theory of rural organization that attempts to describe the organization of economic activity within the rural sector. The chapter discusses the urban sector within less developed countries (LDCs). The chapter also describes the market equilibrium. The chapter describes recent research devoted to analyzing the consequences of alternative policies within this structure. The analysis in few areas is static, but the development process itself is dynamic. Thus, the chapter is concerned with growth, technical change, and entrepreneurship. The chapter presents some concluding remarks, including some observations concerning the role of the government in the development process from this broader perspective. The rapid improvements in agricultural technology during the past two decades mean that significant improvements in standards of living can occur without industrialization and urbanization. The LDCs thus face a choice about the appropriate path of development. A major source of the difference between developed and LDCs lies in the efficiency with which the available supplies of capital are used. The analysis of the appropriate role of the government is far more complex than traditional analyses.

    ISBN: 0444703373
    Content: This chapter focuses on schooling, as an investment with market returns is not intended to detract from the importance of education as a public good and as a source of consumption benefits, but rather to review how economic concepts and statistical methods have recently progressed in quantifying the roles of education in economic development. This chapter surveys a small part of the extensive literature on the linkages among education, productivity, and development, and assesses several areas where concerted research might clarify important issues and potentially change policies. This chapter presents an economic interpretation of this educational explosion. Most of the growth in public expenditures on education is attributed to increases in growth of real income per adult. The chapter describes the expansion of the world's educational system both in terms of its inputs of public and private resources and its output of students, and then estimates how income, price, and population constraints appear to govern this process. The chapter presents a contrast on causal frameworks proposed to explain the relationship between education and productivity, and discusses sources of data to measure the relationship and discriminate among causal interpretations. The chapter reviews evidence on the market returns to schooling measured for entrepreneurs and employees, men and women, and migrants and nonmigrants. The chapter also presents the evidence of schooling's effects on nonmarket production. The chapter discusses the policy issues for development that arise from the apparent effects of education on economic productivity and the mechanisms used to finance and manage the educational system.

    ISBN: 0444703373
    Content: This chapter presents an investigation on the availability of the current development theory, in the writings of the 18th century. The theory of economic development established itself in Britain in the century and a half running from about 1650 to Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations. The chapter concentrates on the writings of the three superstars of the eighteenth century, Hume, Steuart, and Adam Smith. The eighteenth century economists did not find the precise distinction between tradeable and non-tradeable goods and services. They were also conscious of the difficulties of exporting imposed constraints on the growth of the economy. If they were obsessed with the balance of payments, it may also be said that mid-twentieth-century economists underestimated the importance of this constraint, and paid the penalty in almost continual international currency crises from 1913 to the time of writing (1985). The Quantity Theory of money was well known to economists throughout the eighteenth century, because of its formulation by John Locke. About the short-term effects on wages of an increase in the demand for labor, the long-run effects were disputed by at least three groups: those who believed in increasing returns, those who saw an infinitely elastic supply of labor, and a third group that expected diminishing returns. Economic institutions were different then from now, and this is reflected in the shape of development theory. The eighteenth century could not contribute spectacularly to the monetary theory of the twentieth century, because the institutional background differed so greatly as between the two periods. This is an age of paper moneybanknotes checks and so onwhereas theirs was still an age of precious metals circulating as money.
