Elle consiste à évaluer les politiques de lutte contre la pauvreté au moyen d’expériences pilotes menées avec la rigueur des essais cliniques. Quinze ans après sa première leçon inaugurale, Esther Duflo dresse le bilan des succès et des échecs de ces politiques dans le monde. Malgré des évolutions constatées dans certains domaines, nous sommes aujourd’hui à un point de bascule : la pauvreté augmente et les conséquences du réchauffement climatique, dont les pays les plus défavorisés seront les premières victimes, menacent d’effacer la plupart des gains que nous pensions acquis. Quelles leçons en tirer face à l’urgence des problèmes auxquels sont confrontés les plus démunis ?

Download or read book Le hasard de la preuve written by Judith Favereau and published by ENS Éditions. This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En créant en 2003 le Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (ou J-PAL) au Massachusetts Institute of Technology, les chercheurs Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo et Sendhil Mullainathan ont souhaité « transformer la recherche en action ». En effet, le J-PAL s’est donné pour objectif de fournir, via une méthode expérimentale construite sur le modèle des essais cliniques en médecine, des preuves d’efficacité concrètes des programmes d’aide au développement, et de faire en sorte que ces preuves puissent être utilisées par les décideurs politiques. L’accumulation et l’utilisation de ces preuves par la sphère politique conduiraient à ce que Banerjee et Duflo appellent une « révolution douce », c’est-à-dire un monde où l’extrême pauvreté serait éradiquée. Mais comment les résultats issus de ces expériences sont-ils produits ? Ces expériences permettent-elles véritablement de produire des preuves ? Les résultats de ces expériences sont-ils fiables et utilisables par les décideurs politiques ? Peut-on transposer les résultats d’une expérience menée sur un territoire particulier à un autre territoire ? Une telle méthode peut-elle donner lieu à une transformation profonde des politiques de lutte contre la pauvreté ? Cet ouvrage se propose de répondre à ces questions en conduisant une analyse épistémologique de l’approche du J-PAL, et en interrogeant la validité de la méthode qu’il promeut, tout autant que sa portée et son apport plus global à l’économie du développement et aux politiques de lutte contre la pauvreté.

Download or read book Economics 4 volumes written by David A. Dieterle and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 2345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive four-volume resource that explains more than 800 topics within the foundations of economics, macroeconomics, microeconomics, and global economics, all presented in an easy-to-read format. As the global economy becomes increasingly complex, interconnected, and therefore relevant to each individual, in every country, it becomes more important to be economically literate—to gain an understanding of how things work beyond the microcosm of the economic needs of a single individual or family unit. This expansive reference set serves to establish basic economic literacy of students and researchers, providing more than 800 objective and factually driven entries on all the major themes and topics in economics. Written by leading scholars and practitioners, the set provides readers with a framework for understanding economics as mentioned and debated in the public forum and media. Each of the volumes includes coverage of important events throughout economic history, biographies of the major economists who have shaped the world of economics, and highlights of the legislative acts that have shaped the U.S. economy throughout history. The extensive explanations of major economic concepts combined with selected key historical primary source documents and a glossary will endow readers with a fuller comprehension of our economic world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are the individuals whose novel ideas, writings, and philosophies have influenced economics throughout history—and in doing so, have helped change the world? This encyclopedia provides a readable study of economics by examining the great economists themselves. This book presents biographies of 200 economic thinkers throughout history, supplying a one-stop reference about the men and women whose ideas, writings, and philosophies created the foundation of our current understanding of economics. Depicting their subjects within the contexts of history, development economics, and econometrics, these biographies provide an insightful overview of the world of economics through the economists of significance and the many subdisciplines, topics, eras, and philosophies they represent. Economic Thinkers: A Biographical Encyclopedia begins by describing economic thinkers in ancient Greece and Rome, moves through history to cover economists in the 15th through 19th centuries, and addresses economic theory in the 20th century and the modern era. Written to be easily accessible and highly readable, the work will appeal to students, scholars, general readers, and anyone interested in learning about the historical and philosophical foundation of economics.

This book was released on 2015-07-25T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nul ne conteste que la santé et l'éducation constituent des priorités absolues. Mais la situation actuelle n'incite pas à l'optimisme : neuf millions d'enfants meurent chaque année avant l'âge de cinq ans de maladies que l'on sait guérir et, en Inde, la moitié des enfants scolarisés ne sait pas lire. Pour remédier à cet état de fait, Esther Duflo évalue localement et concrètement les programmes de lutte contre la pauvreté, à l'aide d'une méthode révolutionnaire : l'expérimentation aléatoire. De l'Inde au Malawi, du Kenya au Mexique, cette méthode permet de répondre à de nombreuses questions : comment rendre plus efficaces les campagnes de vaccination ? Comment améliorer l'instruction des enfants à moindre coût ? Comment lutter contre l'absentéisme des enseignants et des infirmières ? La santé et l'éducation sont les préalables non seulement au bien-être social, mais aussi à la liberté : ce livre montre comment les faire progresser de manière décisive. Première titulaire de la chaire " Savoirs contre pauvreté " au Collège de France, Esther Duflo est professeur en économie du développement au MIT et fondatrice de J-PAL, laboratoire d'action contre la pauvreté. En 2009, elle a reçu le prestigieux prix MacArthur, qui récompense les recherches les plus novatrices. Elle publie pour la première fois une synthèse de ses travaux.

Download or read book The Solidarity Economy written by Jean-Louis Laville and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questioning the boundaries between politics and economics Jean-Louis Laville’s large body of work has focused on an intellectual history of the concept of solidarity since the Industrial Revolution. In The Solidarity Economy, his most famous distillation of this work, Laville establishes how the formations of economic solidarities (unions, activism, and other forms of associationalism) reveal that the boundaries between politics and economics are porous and structured such that politics, ideally a pure expression of ethics and values, is instead integrated with economic concerns. Exploring the possibilities and long histories of association, The Solidarity Economy identifies the power of contemporary social and solidarity movements and examines the history of postcapitalist practices in which democratic demands invade the heart of the economy. The Solidarity Economy ranges in focus from workers associations in France dating back to the nineteenth century, to associations of African Americans and feminists in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, to a Brazilian landless-worker coalition in the twentieth century. Studying solidarity associations over time allows us to examine how we can recombine the economic and political spheres to address dependencies and inequalities. Ultimately, The Solidarity Economy has global scope and inspiring examples of associations that deepen democracy.

This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Academic and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. In October 2019, Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo, and Michael Kremer jointly won the 51st Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel "for their experimental approach to alleviating global poverty." But what is the exact scope of their experimental method, known as randomized control trials (RCTs)? Which sorts of questions are RCTs able to address and which do they fail to answer? The first of its kind, Randomized Control Trials in the Field of Development: A Critical Perspective provides answers to these questions, explaining how RCTs work, what they can achieve, why they sometimes fail, how they can be improved and why other methods are both useful and necessary. Bringing together leading specialists in the field from a range of backgrounds and disciplines (economics, econometrics, mathematics, statistics, political economy, socioeconomics, anthropology, philosophy, global health, epidemiology, and medicine), it presents a full and coherent picture of the main strengths and weaknesses of RCTs in the field of development. Looking beyond the epistemological, political, and ethical differences underlying many of the disagreements surrounding RCTs, it explores the implementation of RCTs on the ground, outside of their ideal theoretical conditions and reveals some unsuspected uses and effects, their disruptive potential, but also their political uses. The contributions uncover the implicit worldview that many RCTs draw on and disseminate, and probe the gap between the method's narrow scope and its success, while also proposing improvements and alternatives. Without disputing the contribution of RCTs to scientific knowledge, Randomized Control Trials in the Field of Development warns against the potential dangers of their excessive use, arguing that the best use for RCTs is not necessarily that which immediately springs to mind. Written in plain language, this book offers experts and laypeople alike a unique opportunity to come to an informed and reasoned judgement on RCTs and what they can bring to development.

Download or read book Public Policy Lessons from the AIDS Response in Africa written by Fred Eboko and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public Policy Lessons from the AIDS Response in Africa examines how the interplay between national state dynamics in Africa and the global political arena has shaped the global AIDS response, and in this context develops a framework for analysing public policy action more broadly in contemporary Africa. By applying comparative political sociology to AIDS public action, this book identifies four political models that are applicable to public initiatives. Fred Eboko goes on to test these in other domains – namely, the malaria and tuberculosis health subsectors, and the education and environment sectors. By articulating global and national connections and contributing a critical perspective grounded in African scholarship and French political science, the author builds a bold and ambitious framework with the potential to enable coherent and effective public policy action in Africa. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of public health, global health, political science, and development studies, as well as policy-level practitioners in the areas of global health and development.

Download or read book The State of Economics the State of the World written by Kaushik Basu and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading economists address the ongoing challenges to economics in theory and practice in a time of political and economic crises. More than a decade of financial crises, sovereign debt problems, political conflict, and rising xenophobia and protectionism has left the global economy unsettled and the ability of economics as a discipline to account for episodes of volatility uncertain. In this book, leading economists consider the state of their discipline in a world of ongoing economic and political crises. The book begins with three sweeping essays by Nobel laureates Kenneth Arrow (in one of his last published works), Amartya Sen, and Joseph Stiglitz that offer a summary of the theoretical foundations of modern economics—the twin pillars of general equilibrium theory and welfare economics. Contributors then turn to macroeconomic stabilization and growth and, finally, new areas of research that depart from traditional theory, methodology, and concerns: climate change, behavioral economics, and evolutionary game theory. The 2019 Nobel Prize laureates, Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo, and Michael Kremer, contribute a paper on the use of randomized control trials indevelopment economics.
