This collection of essays draws from over thirty years of work by noted economist Pranab Bardhan to address the inter-related themes of international trade, growth, and rural development. Covering a wide range of important issues within the field, these essays describe theoretical and empirical perspectives on economic agents both at the micro and macro levels of the economy in development. Introductions to each of the book's three sections place the articles in perspective and relate them to current research.

Pranab Bardhan is Professor of Economics at University of California, Berkeley, and co-chair of the MacArthur Foundation- funded Network on the Effects of Inequality on Economic Performance. He is Chief Editor of the Journal of Development Economics, has contributed numerous journal articles, and has written or edited 15 books, including The Role of Governance in Economic Development: A Political Economy Approach (1997), Development Microeconomics (with Christopher Udry, 2000), and the two-volume Readings in Development Microeconomics (with Christopher Udry, 2000).
