Can People in Poor Countries Escape Poverty without Moving to Cities?

The majority of people in extreme poverty live in rural areas in developing countries. For decades, policymakers have focused on alleviating rural poverty by generating rural growth. This talk will combine evidence from the existing literature and research that I have conducted with Paul Novosad to question whether major investments in rural areas can generate meaningful economic growth or poverty alleviation in those areas.
Sponsored by the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding and the Economics Department. Made possible by the E. M. Skowrup 1937 Fund.
