Description
Summary:This volume contains the papers and proceedings of the 26th Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics (ABCDE) held on June 15 to 16, 2015, in Mexico City. The theme of the conference was productivity, growth, and the law, and it was hosted jointly by the Bank of Mexico and the World Bank. The committee chose the topics of the ABCDE sessions and selected the papers to be presented at those sessions. A call for papers appeared on the World Bank’s web site and other academic outlets six months in advance of the conference. In this volume, a subset of the selected papers is being published, along with the keynote addresses of two well-known academics.
