Introduction to Development Economics
The introductory work "Einführung in die Entwicklungsökonomik" by Isabel Günther and Kenneth Harttgen from NADEL and Katharina Michaelowa from the University of Zurich is out now!
In recent years, many countries have developed rapidly, while others seem to be falling into poverty. Even within countries there are big differences between rich and poor.
"Einführung in die Entwicklungsökonomik" (published in German) explores the reasons for this. From the perspective of development economics, Isabel Günther, Kenneth Harttgen and Katharina Michaelowa show ways to positively influence development and discuss future challenges.
Selected topics of this introduction to development economics are poverty and inequality, economic development, state and politics, economic and social policy, population growth, education and health, environment, globalisation and international cooperation.
The book is intended for students of economics and politics.
