| Title | The economics of poverty traps / Christopher B. Barrett, Michael R. Carter, and Jean-Paul Chavas. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white). |
| Series | A National Bureau of Economic Research conference report Chicago scholarship online |
| Notes | Previously issued in print: 2018. |
| Summary | While the world has seen much progress in economic growth and poverty reduction over the last few decades, the persistence of extreme poverty and its increased concentration in specific places has stimulated renewed interest in the processes of economic development and the possibility of poverty traps. This volume, based on papers first presented at an NBER conference in June 2016, draws together an outstanding collection of new studies of the dynamic, stochastic processes by which households accumulate assets and increase their productivity and earnings potential, as well as the conditions under which some individuals, groups, and economies struggle to escape poverty, and when and why adverse shocks have persistent welfare consequences. |
