Readings in Development Microeconomics Micro-Theory

These two volumes of readings attempt to bring some degree of structure to a relatively diffuse field. Because of the sheer volume of high-quality work in development economics research, they are intended as a sampling of work at the frontier of the field, rather than as a comprehensive overview. Volume I: Micro-Theoryfocuses on theoretical work. Topics covered include sharecropping as a principle-agent problem, fragmented duopolies, credit market imperfections, poverty traps, peer monitoring in credit cooperatives, coordination failures, human capital accumulation as an engine of growth, and environmental issues in development.Bardhan, Pranab is the author of 'Readings in Development Microeconomics Micro-Theory' with ISBN 9780262024846 and ISBN 0262024845.
