Discussion: Economic and Social Indicators of Rural Development From an Economic Viewpoint

John E. Waldrop

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1972, vol. 4, issue 1, 247-249

Abstract: Drs. Edwards and Coltrane show great courage in agreeing to discuss in one paper all of the variables, data, theories, models, and relationships that might be included according to the title. It was comforting to me to see that their very first endeavor was to set forth some definitions for some often used terms but terms whose meaning is seldom clearly stated by the user.The authors distinguish between economic development and growth and suggest some alternative definitions for rural and rural development. Let us take a closer look at their efforts.
