Latin American Development Priorities : Costs and Benefits Paperback / softback
Edited by Bjorn (Copenhagen Business School) Lomborg
Paperback / softback
Description
Many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have achieved considerable economic growth, yet the region still faces many seemingly intractable problems.
The conventional wisdom in development agencies - that prioritization is impossible and that everything must be done - is simply not effective.
Latin American Development Priorities shows how limited resources could be used for the greatest benefit of the Latin American and Caribbean region.
A panel of economists met over three days in San Jose to review proposals to tackle the ten most important challenges, which emerged from a survey by the Inter-American Development Bank.
The expert panel was asked a question which appears simple but is actually very difficult to answer: What should Latin American governments do with an additional nominal $10 billion?
Hard choices are needed if Latin America's problems are to be tackled effectively.
This book provides the means to make those choices as objectively as possible.
