I don't have any connection to BIAC.
My specialty is human capital (education) and economic growth and development
Ah. I know something of the former and little of the latter. I'd presume your interests are much more normative than mine.
Does the term 'normative' work in that context?
Yes,
I could try to say that my work focuses only on understand how growth and development take place for example but this in practice this it doesn't work that way.
A conversation with students, policy makers, even fellow economists will not go more than 5 - 10 mins without taking a normative tact. Virtually everyone is in favor of more growth and so the question is invariably, "what should we DO to achieve it"
