Contemporary Issues in Development Finance (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Contemporary Issues in Development Finance provides comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of theoretical and policy issues in development finance from both the domestic and the external finance perspectives and emphasizes addressing the gaps in financial markets.

The chapters cover topical issues such as microfinance, private sector financing, aid, FDI, remittances, sovereign wealth, trade finance, and the sectoral financing of agricultural and infrastructural projects. Readers will acquire both breadth and depth of knowledge in critical and contemporary issues in development finance from a philosophical and yet pragmatic development impact approach. The text ensures this by carefully integrating the relevant theoretical underpinnings, empirical assessments, and practical policy issues into its analysis. The work is designed to be fully accessible to practitioners with only a limited theoretical economic background, allowing them to deeply engage with the book as useful reference material. Readers may find more advanced information and technical details provided in clear, concise boxes throughout the text. Finally, each chapter is fully supported by a set of review questions and by cases and examples from developing countries, particularly those in Africa.

This book is a valuable resource for both development finance researchers and students taking courses in development finance, development economics, international finance, financial development policy, and economic policy management. Practitioners will find the development impact, policy, and conceptual analysis dimensions insightful analysing and designing intervention strategies.

Rezensionen

"This book provides an excellent overview of the challenges of financial sector development in developing countries. The different chapters touch on all the relevant dimensions, including international capital flows, microfinance and financial inclusion. An important contribution to our field!" - Thorsten Beck, Professor of Banking and Finance, The Business School (formerly Cass), University of London, UK

"An abundance of literature exists in development finance, but this book will be an important 'one stop shop' for researchers, teachers, and policy makers. It is thematic and coherent. The underpinning is on contemporary theories and empirics linking finance and development with emphasis on inclusive development. This is because financial sector development alone does not ensure inclusive finance that is vital for inclusive development. The financial instruments considered are also wide ranging; so are the actors who can help bridge the financial development gap." - Lemma Senbet, The William E. Mayer Chair Professor of Finance, University of Maryland, USA; Immediate Past Executive Director/CEO, African Economic Research Consortium
