Essentials of Development Economics is just such a textbook. It provides students access to the most contemporary ideas such as experimentation while simultaneously engaging students with a compelling synthesis of the most broad, historical, and important ideas that have emerged in the field."--Bruce Wydick, Professor of Economics, University of San Francisco "Taylor and Lybbert have done it again: the third edition of Essentials of Development Economics expertly covers the key topics and approaches in our dynamic field, weaving in the most exciting new research breakthroughs. This textbook will enrich any course."--Edward Miguel, Oxfam Professor in Environmental and Resource Economics, Department of Economics, University of California, Berkeley "J. Edward Taylor and Travis J. Lybbert respond in this book to the profession's call for seeking answers to the big questions in development. They do so in the most admirable and convincing manner, exploring the work development economists actually do. Their essentials are indeed essential for any student of development."--Finn Tarp, Professor of Development Economics, University of Copenhagen "This new text provides an accessible introduction to development economics. It is essential to understanding how three-quarters of the global population live. The authors touch on key current research topics while also covering the history of thought on the topic. An outstanding volume!"--Christopher B. Barrett, S.B. & J.G. Ashley Professor of Applied Economics, Cornell University
