Development economics involves the creation of theories and methods that aid in the determination of policies and practices and can be implemented at either the domestic or international level. This may involve restructuring market incentives or using mathematical methods like inter-temporal optimization for project analysis, or it may involve a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods. Unlike in many other fields of economics, approaches in development economics may incorporate social and political factors to devise particular plans. The book contains an editorial introduction on the contemporary issues in development economics relating to financial sector, social sector, micro-finance and international trade. The book will be useful to academicians, researchers and general readers interested in development economics in the context of changing economic scenario.
