Livre

Banerjee, Abhijit Vinayak (1961-....) - économiste. Auteur | Duflo, Esther (1972-....). Auteur

But much of the work they do is based on assumptions that are untested generalizations at best, flat out harmful misperceptions at worst. Banerjee and Duflo have pioneered the use of randomized control trials in development economics.
