Abstract

Professor Sir Paul Collier is one of the leading development economists of the post-war generation. Studying under Max Corden at Oxford in the 1970s, his earliest research was in international trade theory. This was a foundation for later work on the economics of labour markets and natural resources in East Africa. Subsequently, he has been part of the re-engagement of development economics with other social sciences, and in particular political science, with influential work on the economics of civil wars, fragile States, aid effectiveness, and urbanisation. Apart from a period of time as research director at the World Bank, most of his career has been spent at Oxford, where he founded the Centre for the Study of African Economies.
