Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Development economics is a branch of economics that focuses on improving the sustainability of fiscal, economic, and social conditions in developing countries. Development economics considers sustainable factors such as health, education, working conditions, domestic and international policies, and market conditions, with a focus on improving conditions in the world's poorest countries. The field also examines both macroeconomic and microeconomic factors relating to the sustainable structure of developing economies and domestic and international economic growth. The aim of this Special Issue is to identify challenges and sustainable trends in development economics and offer possible solutions for successfully dealing with them.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- economics of growth and applications to developing countries;
- sustainable education, human capital, and endogenous growth;
- institutions and policies for development and sustainability;
- inequality and development;
- history, expectations, sustainability, and development;
- sustainable labor markets, migration, urbanization, and city growth;
- sustainable family planning, labor force, and income fluctuations;
- sustainable globalization and economic development.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Roman Vavrek
Guest Editor
