Synopsis de l’éditeur
"Poverty and inequality are inherently complex features of any society, with multiple long- and short-term causes, consequences, and cures. In such a challenging field, this volume is a rare achievement: it combines analytical depth and methodological innovation with a thematic breadth that weaves together institutional origins, intergenerational persistence, spatial perspectives, and policy options. Edited and written by some of the brightest economists in Europe and the Americas working on these issues, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in poverty or inequality in Latin America."--Francisco H.G. Ferreira, Development Research Group, The World Bank "This book makes the unique contribution of addressing fundamental policy questions -- how inequalities are reproduced over time and space, what cost do high inequalities have on development, and what policies have been effective in reducing inequalities -- by using highly rigorous econometric and modeling techniques. It definitely advances our scientific understanding of these vexing questions and suggests realistic policy options that provide hope for change."--Elisabeth Sadoulet, Professor of Agriculture and Resource Economics, University of California at Berkeley -- Elizabeth Sadoulet "This book makes the unique contribution of addressing fundamental policy questions--how inequalities are reproduced over time and space, what cost do high inequalities have on development, and what policies have been effective in reducing inequalities--by using highly rigorous econometric and modeling techniques.
