Economic complexity and human development: How economic diversification and social networks affect human agency and welfare

Buch

This book constitutes my doctoral thesis in economics at the University of Hohenheim. But more than a title, it is the final outcome of a research journey of seven years, which has taken me from Germany to Spain, Peru, Brazil, Netherlands, England and Turkey, collecting information and seeking advice on the relations between economic development and human development. This research endeavour aims to contribute to the creation of bridges between structural change and human development research and examine the variety of methods that allow us to explore and research the complex relations between social networks, economic diversity and human development. It is highly sceptical of two-dimensional categorizations, such as black-and-white thinking, which simplify a multidimensional and complex world.
