Dr. R. Albert Berry

R. Albert Berry, Department of Economics, University of Toronto, has made profound contributions to the understanding of economic development processes, especially those in Latin America. His analyses of agricultural change, the functioning of labour markets and income distribution in Latin America have been highly influential in the elaboration of policies for development. His principal impact has been through his demonstration that small- and medium-scale enterprises are likely to contribute not only to greater equity but also to greater efficiency both in agriculture and in industry in developing countries.
