team

 

The research group on “Political economy and development“started in September 2006. Our research interests cover development processes in low-income countries, the interests of various (local, national and international) actors involved in these processes, and the institutional conditions conducive to poverty reduction and growth. A particular focus is on education policy, the efficiency of reforms, and their sustainability given stakeholder interest in the different countries considered. Other research topics include international climate policy, microfinance, and the impact of poverty reduction strategy processes (PRSP) on democratization. We mainly work empirically, using large household and student surveys, or experiments.
