Abhijit V. Banerjee Livres

« Face aux inégalités qui explosent, aux désastres politiques et aux catastrophes environnementales qui menacent de toutes parts, cet ouvrage montre que tout n'est pas perdu. Si des choix de politiques publiques nous ont menés où nous sommes, rien n'empêche d'en faire d'autres. À condition de dresser, d'abord, un constat honnête. Ces pages traquent les fausses évidences sur toutes les questions les plus pressantes : immigration, libre-échange, croissance, inégalités, changement climatique. Elles montrent où et quand les économistes ont échoué, aveuglés par l'idéologie. Mais l'ouvrage ne fait pas que renverser les idées reçues. Il répond à l'urgence de temps troublés en offrant un panel d'alternatives aux politiques actuelles. Une bonne science économique peut faire beaucoup. Appuyée sur les dernières avancées de la recherche, sur des expériences et des données fiables, elle est un levier pour bâtir un monde plus juste et plus humain. En cela, Économie utile pour des temps difficiles est aussi un appel à l'action. »-- Quatrième de couverture

Why do the poor borrow to save? Why do they miss out on free life-saving immunizations, but pay for unnecessary drugs? In Poor Economics, Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo, two practical visionaries working toward ending world poverty, answer these questions from the ground. In a book the Wall Street Journal called “marvelous, rewarding,” the authors tell how the stress of living on less than 99 cents per day encourages the poor to make questionable decisions that feed—not fight—poverty. The result is a radical rethinking of the economics of poverty that offers a ringside view of the lives of the world's poorest, and shows that creating a world without poverty begins with understanding the daily decisions facing the poor.

Winner of the 2011 Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Best Business Book of the Year Award Billions of government dollars, and thousands of charitable organizations and NGOs, are dedicated to helping the world's poor. But much of their work is based on assumptions that are untested generalizations at best, harmful misperceptions at worst. Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo have pioneered the use of randomized control trials in development economics. Work based on these principles, supervised by the Poverty Action Lab, is being carried out in dozens of countries. Drawing on this and their 15 years of research from Chile to India, Kenya to Indonesia, they have identified wholly new aspects of the behavior of poor people, their needs, and the way that aid or financial investment can affect their lives. Their work defies certain presumptions: that microfinance is a cure-all, that schooling equals learning, that poverty at the level of 99 cents a day is just a more extreme version of the experience any of us have when our income falls uncomfortably low. This important book illuminates how the poor live, and offers all of us an opportunity to think of a world beyond poverty. Learn more at www.pooreconomics.com

FROM THE WINNERS OF THE 2019 NOBEL PRIZE IN ECONOMICS 'Wonderfully refreshing . . . A must read' Thomas Piketty In this revolutionary book, prize-winning economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day. From immigration to inequality, slowing growth to accelerating climate change, we have the resources to address the challenges we face but we are so often blinded by ideology. Original, provocative and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times offers the new thinking that we need. It builds on cutting-edge research in economics - and years of exploring the most effective solutions to alleviate extreme poverty - to make a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. A much-needed antidote to polarized discourse, this book shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.

From the award-winning founders of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab at MIT, a transformative reappraisal of the world of the extreme poor, their lives, desires, and frustrations.

We all know of Abhijit Banerjee as a Nobel Prize–winning Economist. Now meet Abhijit Banerjee the gourmet chef. In this playful, erudite and sensationally delicious cookbook, Banerjee takes us through the recipes he has delighted his friends, colleagues and students with—from charred avocado to Andhra pork ribs, deconstructed salade niçoise to a trifle made in under 20 minutes. Along the way he riffs on Karl Marx, Bengali vegetarian cooking, and why soup is so consoling. Superbly illustrated by Cheyenne Olivier, this is a book to both read and to cook outstanding meals from.

The book delves into the investigation of meromorphic functions in the complex plane, focusing on a uniqueness theorem related to the sharing of two sets. It builds upon previous findings, enhancing and refining earlier results. The work employs standard notations from Nevanlinna theory and introduces a unique range set to facilitate the analysis. Additionally, it defines E as a set of positive real numbers with finite linear measure, allowing for varied occurrences throughout the discussion.

Wirtschaftsnobelpreis 2019 und Deutscher Wirtschaftsbuchpreis 2020! Zwei preisgekrönte Ökonomen über Versagen und Verantwortung der Wirtschaftswissenschaftler Ungleichheit, Armut, Migration, freier Handel, Wirtschaftswachstum und Umweltfragen sind die Probleme, die weltweit täglich die Schlagzeilen beherrschen. Hierzu wären Wissen und Rat von Wirtschaftswissenschaftlern dringend gefragt. Die für ihre bahnbrechenden Arbeiten zur Armutsforschung bekannten Ökonomen Esther Duflo und Abhijit Banerjee halten in diesem Buch ihren Kollegen provokant den Spiegel vor: Katastrophale Krisen wie die Lehman-Pleite haben sie verschlafen, oft verstellen ideologische Vorbehalte den Blick, und bei Streitthemen wie dem Euro haben sie sich gescheut, unbequeme Wahrheiten auszusprechen. Duflo und Banerjee zeigen anschaulich, was gute Ökonomie stattdessen zur Lösung der dringenden Weltprobleme beitragen kann.

Fascynująca opowieść o naszej rzeczywistości i głos, którego potrzebujemy, by odzyskać wiarę w przyszłość. Świat, jaki znamy, na naszych oczach gwałtownie się zmienia. Masowe migracje powodowane wojną i biedą. Rosnące ceny podstawowych produktów. Katastrofy ekologiczne. Rewolucja technologiczna. Jak sobie z nimi radzić? Gdzie szukać perspektywy, która pomoże uporządkować poplątany obraz? W ekonomii? Gdy w Wielkiej Brytanii i USA zapytano ludzi, której grupie zawodowej ufają najmniej, ekonomiści uplasowali w czołówce niechlubnego wyścigu. Tylko politycy wypadli gorzej. Być może dlatego, że ekonomia rodem z Wall Street już dawno przestała służyć ludziom – to oni mieli służyć ekonomii. Ta książka ma szansę wreszcie to zmienić. Abhijit Banerjee i Esther Duflo, laureaci ekonomicznego Nobla, przywracają należne miejsce prawdziwym ludzkim potrzebom, a podszyte ideologią fake newsy zastępują rzetelnymi dowodami. Czy niekontrolowany rozwój technologiczny to szansa czy zagrożenie? Co z oddziaływaniem gospodarki na katastrofę klimatyczną? Jak naprawdę napływ imigrantów odbija się na lokalnych pracownikach? Good Economics ustawia te dyskusje w nowym świetle i jednocześnie przywraca wiarę w misję i znaczenie ekonomii.
