Abstract
The Annual Bank Conference on
Development Economics (ABCDE) brings fresh, innovative
perspectives to key problems of development. By providing a
forum in which policy makers, academics and leading
researchers focus on a common theme, ABCDE plays an
important role in advancing debate and shaping the
international development agenda. The 2009 ABCDE held June
9-11, 2008, in Cape Town, South Africa, was devoted to
'people, politics, and globalization.' The program
included a strong dose of empirical research on the
experience of developing countries in all regions of the
globe. Speakers addressed such subjects as trade and
investment, higher education and high-technology industry,
migration and remittances, the interaction between health
and economic development, and the political economy of
public expenditures.
