NEUDC 2007

Our Center for International Development is playing host over the next couple of days to this year's Northeast Universities Development Consortium Conference--an annual conference on development economics.  Looking at the variety of sessions and papers being presented, I am once again struck by how strong and fertile the field has become.  Economic Development was once a weak sub-discipline within economics. Clearly no longer.

In my mind, the next big challenge is to integrate the work on macro (mostly growth, trade, and finance) with the work on micro (mostly health, education, and evaluation).  A few people are working in that intersection, but not nearly enough in my view.  The micro economists face the challenge of demonstrating that their work can say something about economy-wide growth patterns and differentials--the strongest determinant of poverty patterns in the world.  Meanwhile, macro types have to develop evidence that passes the microeconomists' more demanding requirements.

As a graduate student concentrating on trade and development, I was wondering if you could elaborate further on the last sentence.

[Chelnikov]

Could you please offer some examples of the "few people" working to integrate development-related macro and micro work?

Also, a concrete example of the types of "evidence that passes the microeconomists more demanding requirements" would be greatly appreciated. Are you referring generally to greater theoretical rigour in terms of the microfoundations of macro models, or instead are you referring to more specific empirical requirements akin to the types of data used in applied microeconomics and microeconometrics?

Many thanks in advance if you could elaborate and give some examples!!

Thanks for sharing the program Dani. I am amazed how much it has grown. I was lucky enough to present, comment, and chair sessions at the NEUDC when I was a young asst prof and the experience was always very invigorating. It was something I needed because I was at a small, teaching university at the time that was not known for its research. Actually, just looking at the schedule makes me think of those days quite fondly.

We really should do more of these, while some of our jokes are meant for a more "adult" crowd (still safe for work and not vulgar or anything) - we'd like to post some jokes catered more towards are younger readers.[url=http://www.thehandbags.us/4-dior-handbags/]Replica dior-handbags[/url]Barbara Bui Handbags Specifically, short and simple jokes that kids can remember [url=http://www.thehandbags.us/]Replica Gucci handbags[/url]and tell their friends for a quick laugh.Dr. Smith recently got his doctorate in psychology and his first assignment was to visit the community loony bin retirement home for the patient's monthly mental examination[url=http://www.thehandbags.us/6-hermes-handbags/]Replica Hermes handbags[/url].An aspiring young lawyer was sitting in her office late one night, when Satan appeared before her.

I think this is a great post. One thing that I find the most helpful is number five. Sometimes when I write, I just let the flow of the words and information come out so much that I loose the purpose. It’s only after editing when I realize what I’ve done. There’s defiantly a lot of great tips here I’m going to try to be more aware of.
