Armutsminderung und Entwicklung
Der Forschungsbereich beschäftigt sich mit Fragen der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung in Niedrigeinkommensländern, wobei ein Schwerpunkt auf der Armuts- und Verteilungsproblematik liegt. Konkret dreht sich die Forschung zurzeit um die folgenden vier Themen, die jeweils für eine große Zahl von Entwicklungsländern relevant sind:
- die Rolle der ländlichen Entwicklung in der Armutsbekämpfung;
- die Herausforderung, die Armen am Ressourcenreichtum partizipieren zu lassen;
- die Auswirkungen der Globalisierung – insbesondere der Handelsintegration und der internationalen Migration – auf Armut, Verteilung und Entwicklung;
- die Allokation und Effektivität der Entwicklungshilfe.
Zur Förderung der internationalen Forschungszusammenarbeit im Bereich des breitenwirksamen Wachstums unterhält unsere Forschungsgruppe das "Poverty Reduction, Equity, and Growth (PEG) Network".
Als Research Associate ist Jann Lay (Universität Göttingen und GIGA Hamburg) an verschiedenen Projekten des Forschungsbereichs beteiligt.
