发展涉及经济结构的根本性变化，涉及资源从农业向服务业和工业的转移，涉及向城市的移民和劳动力的国际流动，涉及贸易和技术的转型。社会包容和变革——健康和预期寿命、教育和识字率、人口规模和结构以及性别关系方面的变化——是故事的核心。政策挑战是帮助释放和引导这些变革和包容的力量。但政策制定者如何评估他们所做的或正在做的是否正确？自 20 世纪 70 年代以来，公共经济学就把对增长的严肃分析置于其议程的中心。它展示了如何在理论和实证上将增长和分配——简单地说，就是蛋糕的大小和蛋糕的分配——严格地整合到公共政策的讨论中。
Development is about fundamental change in economic structures, about the movement of resources out of agriculture to services and industry, about migration to cities and international movement of labor, and about transformation in trade and technology. Social inclusion and change-change in health and life expectancy, in education and literacy, in population size and structure, and in gender relations-are at the heart of the story. The policy challenge is to help release and guide these forces of change and inclusion. But how can policymakers assess whether what they have done, or what they are doing, is right? Since the 1970s public economics has placed the serious analysis of growth at the center of its agenda. It has shown how to integrate growth and distribution - in simple terms, the size of the cake, and the distribution of the cake-rigorously into the discussion of public policy, both theoretically and empirically.
