Infrastructure and Development: A Critical Appraisal of the Macro-level Literature (2008, background): “The point that output-per-worker in developing countries is lower than implied by the amount of capital available is discussed in Prescott (1998) and Banerjee and Duflo (2005).”
Inputs, Incentives, and Complementarities in Education: Experimental Evidence from Tanzania* (2018, unknown): “…countries.2 However, while the idea of complementarities across policies to improve human welfare has been a central theme in development economics (Johnston & Mellor, 1961; Ray, 1998; Banerjee & Duflo, 2005), there is limited wellidentified evidence of such complementarities in practice.”
Barriers to entry and returns to capital in informal activities : evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa (2011, unknown): “Faced with different costs of capital because of differences in wealth and their capacity to provide collateral, borrowers may have to choose to invest in different technologies (Banerjee and Duflo, 2005).”
Human Capital and Regional Development (2013, result): “Consistent with earlier observations of Banerjee and Duflo (2005) and LaPorta and Shleifer (2008), economic development occurs in educated regions that concentrate entrepreneurs, who run large productive firms.”
Middle-Income Traps: A Conceptual and Empirical Survey (2015, background): “6 Parente and Prescott (2005), and Banerjee and Duflo (2005) present surveys from different perspectives. low-growth “poverty traps” that generally focuses on low income countries, 7 as mentioned above.”
Returns to Capital in Microenterprises: Evidence from a Field Experiment (2007, unknown): “Given the importance of this issue, there are an increasing number of estimates of the returns to capital in small scale productive activities in developing countries (see Banerjee and Duflo, 2005).”
Factorial Designs, Model Selection, and (Incorrect) Inference in Randomized Experiments (2019, background): “Indeed, a long tradition in development economics has highlighted the importance of complementarities across programs in alleviating poverty traps (Ray, 1998; Banerjee & Duflo, 2005), which suggests that assuming away interactions in empirical work may be a mistake.”
Access to Finance (2010, unknown): “…studies, in addition, hold the promise of evaluating specific assumptions underlying theoretical models, such as the non-convex production technologies that undergird models like those of Galor and Zeira (1993) and Banerjee and Newman (1993)—a research program outlined by Banerjee and Duflo (2005).”
Troubling Tradeoffs in the Human Development Index (2010, unknown): “However, Banerjee and Duflo (2005) question whether the evidence supports the claim that returns to education vary much across countries. valuation of longevity.”
