The selected topics seek to include new areas of concern, and current research, as well as areas believed to benefit from exposure to recent knowledge, and experience. This year's conference focused on new development thinking, crises and recovery, corporate governance and restructuring, and, social security, public and private savings. The opening address outlines challenges for development, that include the intransigence of poverty in Africa, and ways to establish public-private partnerships at the country, and global levels, while the keynote address identifies equilibrium, and change as the focus of development economics: long-term sustainable growth requires development of a consensus behind the reform policies. Discussions varied from crises and recovery, through perspectives on the recent history of transition economies, to arguments on the possibilities of poverty reduction on a grand scale. Other topics include the exploration of development strategies, revision of the role of aid in providing finance, changing policies, and knowledge transfer, and, how to coordinate development problems.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGGREGATE INDICATORSATTENUATED INCENTIVESBANKING SECTORBONDSBUDGET DEFICITSCAPITAL MARKETSCLIMATE CHANGECOMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENTCOMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENTCOMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORKCONDITIONALITYCORPORATE GOVERNANCECOUNTRY LEVELCRISESDEBTDEMOCRACYDEMOGRAPHICSDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT NETWORKDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDEVELOPMENT PROCESSDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDIRECT INVESTMENTECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCESECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC EFFICIENCYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INCENTIVESECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC POWERECONOMIC REFORMSECONOMIC RESEARCHECONOMIC SYSTEMSECONOMIC THEORIESECONOMIC THEORYECONOMICSECONOMISTSEDUCATION LEVELEMPIRICAL EVIDENCEEQUILIBRIUMEXPORTSEXTERNAL SHOCKSEXTERNALITIESFIGHTING CORRUPTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL SYSTEMSFREE TRADEGDPGLOBAL GOVERNANCEGLOBAL TRADEGNPGOOD GOVERNANCEGROWTH RATESHUMAN DEVELOPMENTIMPERFECT COMPETITIONINCENTIVE EFFECTSINCENTIVE STRUCTURESINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME EFFECTINCOME GROWTHINEQUALITYINFANT MORTALITYINFORMAL NETWORKSINSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTSINSTITUTIONAL CHANGESINSURANCEINSURANCE MARKETSINTERNATIONAL COMMUNITYINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTKNOWLEDGE CREATIONLABOR MARKETLABOR PRODUCTIVITYLIFE EXPECTANCYMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMACROECONOMIC STABILIZATIONMARKET FAILURESMARKET INCENTIVESMIXED ECONOMYMULTIPLIER EFFECTNATIONAL GOVERNANCENONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSNUTRITIONOILORGANIZATIONAL CAPITALOWNERSHIP STRUCTUREPARETO OPTIMUMPARTICIPATORY POVERTYPARTICIPATORY POVERTY ASSESSMENTSPER CAPITA INCOMEPERFECT INFORMATIONPOLICIESPOLICY CHANGESPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOOR COUNTRIESPOOR PEOPLEPOVERTYPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCT MARKETSPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC GOODPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC POLICIESREAL WAGESRISK SHARINGSAFETY NETSSAVINGSSHARECROPPINGSHARECROPPING CONTRACTSSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL DIMENSIONSSOCIAL JUSTICESOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SECURITYSPILLOVERSSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTSUSTAINABLE GROWTHTAXATIONTELEVISIONTRANSITION ECONOMIESUNDERSTANDING POVERTYUNEMPLOYMENTWEALTH DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESCONSENSUS BUILDINGKNOWLEDGE TRANSFERCONDITIONALITYMARKET ECONOMYTRANSITION ECONOMIESAID COORDINATIONECONOMIC CRISISFINANCIAL CRISESECONOMIC RECOVERYECONOMIC GROWTHRESTRUCTURING ASSISTANCECORPORATE GOVERNANCELEGAL ASPECTSSOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEMSSAVINGSPUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSFUNDING CAPACITYPENSION REFORMINEQUITYDEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORSHOUSEHOLD WELFARE INDICATORSWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-4981-3
