Political Economy and Development: a progress report
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
Date: Wednesday 10 February 2016 Time: 6.30-8pm Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building Speaker: Professor Tim Besley Chair: Professor Oriana Bandiera Professor Besley gives his inaugural lecture as Sir William Arthur Lewis Chair in Development Economics. A major change in mainstream thinking in economics over the past 25 years has been towards improving our understanding of how the policy process (political and bureaucrat) affects policy outcomes. Such changes in economic thinking are partly in response to the need to have a persuasive account of the diverse historical development experiences of various countries and regions. One key debate following this research has been about whether a particular configuration of institutions is needed to promote inclusive economic development. This lecture will take stock of what has been learned and critically appraise the state of knowledge, drawing some implications for how international financial institutions and aid practitioners approach their business. Tim Besley is Deputy Head for Research of the Department of Economics and an associate member of CEP, IGC and STICERD at LSE. Oriana Bandiera is Professor of Economics and Director of STICERD at LSE. The Department of Economics at LSE (@LSEEcon) is one of the largest economics departments in the world. Its size ensures that all areas of economics are strongly represented in both research and teaching.

This lecture is really interesting. For future videos, when he's talking about the chart being projected, could you move the camera just for a minute, to also show us the chart? I feel like I missed part of the story. Thank you very much!
