A substantial introduction to the study of group behaviour in developing countries. Groups account for the majority of economic decisions, yet this remains a relatively neglected area of study. This book provides both relevant theoretical issues and eleven case studies. The authors explore what determines modes of behaviour of groups, and the consequences for efficiency, equity, and well-being, concluding that the universal presumption in favour of material incentives needs to be abandoned and cooperation supported if markets and groups are to function well and in an equity-friendly direction.
