Abstract

Yujiro Hayami and his coauthors have studied one of the most fundamental questions of development economics: How does democracy (or any form of community governance) affect the development process (Aoki and Hayami, 2001)? The unique approach of Hayami is that he has built his foundation for examining these questions on the study of rural communities themselves. In his books on the Philippines (Hayami and Kikuchi, 2000) and Indonesia (Hayami and Kawagoe, 1993), Hayami has studied the roles of rural communities in irrigation management, land and labor relations, risk coping, social capital, and development of the rural nonfarm sector. The major finding in many pieces of his research is that rural communities help allocate resources that increase both efficiency and equity.
