The content and treatment of the subject of development in this volume is distinctive in many ways. It is a balanced mix of theory and practical elements, dealing with a number of issues at micro as well as macro levels. The analyses of the current socio-economic problems are attempted in an elegant yet simple manner which makes it equally useful for an aspiring researcher in economics or any inter disciplinary field. The methodologies of the articles include analytical verbal argumentative logic, theoretical constructs or different versions of statistical, econometric or programming techniques. It also contains well written survey articles, which are useful in grasping the fundamental research issues and in tracing the progress of research in an area. The general scope of the book is very wide as the readership can include researchers, scholars, graduate and undergraduate students, policy makers and practitioners. Though the contributors are primarily scholars in the field of Economics or Statistics, the book contains useful takeaways for those working in the area of Development. It will also be of interest to policy makers and practitioners interested in development issues, and to post graduate students in Economics or any field, in social science, management or development. 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aMacroeconomics 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W32000 606 $aLabor Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W37000 606 $aR & D/Technology Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aMacroeconomics. 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 14$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics. 615 24$aLabor Economics. 615 24$aR & D/Technology Policy. 676 $a338.9 702 $aBandyopadhyay$b Simanti$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDutta$b Mousumi$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910350322403321 996 $aOpportunities and Challenges in Development$92235731 997 $aUNINA
