Abstract

This study reflects that which is almost a controlled experiment in economic development. An island has been divided into two sectors, each with its characteristics.

This allows us to compare the firm-type economy with the bazaar and to contrast two public policy types.

Presentation discusses immigration, emigration and return migration and suggests that culture is a strong explanatory variable contributing to the understanding of economic development.
