This text focuses on group behaviour in developing countries. It
includes studies of producer and community organizations, NGOs, and
some public sector groups. Despite the fact that most economic
decisions are taken by people acting within groups - families,
firms, neighbourhood or community associations, and networks of
producers - the analysis of group functioning has not received
enough attention, particularly among economists. Some groups
function well, from the perspectives of equity, efficiency, and
well-being, while others do not. This book explores why The text
covers groups that perform three types of function: overcoming
market failures (for example, producer organizations); improving
the position of their members (for example, Trade Unions), and
distributing resources to the less well-off (for example, NGOs and
the public sector) It contrasts three modes of group behaviour:
power and control; co-operation; and the use of material
incentives, exploring what determines modes of behaviour of groups,
and the consequences for efficiency, equity, and well-being.
