Yanis Bekhti

PhD candidate in Economics at @Unicatt & @SorbonneParis1 | Working on deindustrialisation, structural change and commodities.

[Jesús Fernández-Villaverde @JesusFerna7026]

A fundamental lesson from my posts these last two weeks on modernization, industrial policy, and development is that development economics should be about understanding why South Korea got rich but Bolivia did not.

The current field has largely given up on that question. Sharply identified RCTs on small micro programs are a fine way to publish in the AER and get tenure at a fancy university, but a profession that knows everything about microfinance impact evaluations and almost nothing about industrialization has misallocated its own intellectual capital on a pretty heroic scale.

RIP José Mujica. Many will remember his Volkswagen Beetle but this will be the enduring image for me — a one-time guerrilla who eventually embraced his former rivals and helped turn Uruguay into a model democracy for Latin America and the world.
