Kiva Lender: Giorgio

Location: Exeter, NH United States
Occupation: Educator
I loan because: Economic development can't happen without investment. And investment can't happen without credit.

Economic development is best described as "the expansion of the capabilities of people to lead the kind of life they have reason to cherish" (Amartya Sen).
About me: I teach economics and specialize in the economics of developing countries. I also maintain a website with resources and information on development economics (see link below).
