| Summary: | The Annual Bank Conference on
Development Economics (ABCDE) is one of the best-known
conferences for the presentation and discussion of new
knowledge on development. It is an opportunity for many of
the world's finest development thinkers to present
their ideas. The papers in this volume were presented at the
ABCDE that was held on January 16-17, 2007, in Beijing,
China. Each year the topics selected for the conference
represent either new areas of concern for future research or
areas that the author believes will benefit from a
reexamination. The topic of the 2007 conference was
'higher education and development,' which
encompassed five themes: higher education and migration,
private-public provision of higher education, financing of
higher education, technological innovation (linkages between
universities and industry), and higher education and labor
markets in Asia. |
