Billions of government dollars, and thousands of charitable organizations and NGOs, are dedicated to helping the world's poor. But much of their work is based on assumptions that are untested generalizations at best, harmful misperceptions at worst.
Winner of the 2011 Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Best Business Book of the Year Award
Billions of government dollars, and thousands of charitable organizations and NGOs, are dedicated to helping the world's poor. But much of their work is based on assumptions that are untested generalizations at best, harmful misperceptions at worst.
Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo have pioneered the use of randomized control trials in development economics. Work based on these principles, supervised by the Poverty Action Lab, is being carried out in dozens of countries. Drawing on this and their 15 years of research from Chile to India, Kenya to Indonesia, they have identified wholly new aspects of the behavior of poor people, their needs, and the way that aid or financial investment can affect their lives. Their work defies certain presumptions: that microfinance is a cure-all, that schooling equals learning, that poverty at the level of 99 cents a day is just a more extreme version of the experience any of us have when our income falls uncomfortably low.
This important book illuminates how the poor live, and offers all of us an opportunity to think of a world beyond poverty.

本书的最大贡献在于帮助我们了解穷人的心理，为政策的失败提供了本土化的心理路径解释。两位实验经济学家今年喜提诺奖，让人为这一方法感到振奋。但是这可能导致发展心理学领域非实验文章不能发表，客观上增加了经费支出，也夸大了这一方法实际适用的问题范畴。实际上，RCT方法只能解释某一有限群体的决策，重复性也不高，更难说应用到国家层面的决策。本书对于贫穷对于疾病、教育等等方面的影响都有故事样的论述，既显示出这个... 本书的最大贡献在于帮助我们了解穷人的心理，为政策的失败提供了本土化的心理路径解释。两位实验经济学家今年喜提诺奖，让人为这一方法感到振奋。但是这可能导致发展心理学领域非实验文章不能发表，客观上增加了经费支出，也夸大了这一方法实际适用的问题范畴。实际上，RCT方法只能解释某一有限群体的决策，重复性也不高，更难说应用到国家层面的决策。本书对于贫穷对于疾病、教育等等方面的影响都有故事样的论述，既显示出这个议题的复杂，也难免让人疑惑：经济学真的抓住了表面数据和结论之下的重点吗？ (展开)

由宏大叙事堆砌起来的悲观主义，是智识与职业上的屈服和妥协；由big word包装起来的深刻性，更是一种不费力气的懒惰和肤浅。惨淡经营的比较研究，针对具体问题的实证分析，不辞劳苦的田野调查，本书作者所倡导和实践的这些治学态度与方法，正是我在之后的会计学习中最为需要的。切忌空谈义理，这很重要。
