Education And World Development: 25 Years Of Publications Of The Euro-American Association Of Economic Development Studies

This paper presents a brief history of the Euro-American Association of Economic Devleopment Studies (EAAEDS) on its 25th Anniversity. This is a little-big association that has contributed to publish many interesting cuantitative studies on Education, World development and Quality of Life. We wish to highlight the interest of the contributions of the journals, books and reports published by the Association for the period 2001-2025. We cite several articles related with the important role of Education, Industria, Trade and other variables on World Development and include lists of the most popular articles. We have analyzed international development with panel data of many countries, for several periods, and the empirical evidence shows that Education is generally the main driver of development thanks to its positive effects on social values, the quality of government, industrial and non-industrial production per capita, and quality of life. The Association was founded by members of the Econometrics Team at the Faculty of Economics of the Spanish University of Santiago de Compostela in year 2001 and is grateful to the support from prestigious authors from many countries, including Nobel Prize Lawrence R. Klein who lent his support by accepting the position of Honorary President of the Association, from year 2004 until his deeply felt passing in 2013.
