4 major sectors are involved in the econ development of Ur communities: (1) the pop, or human sector; (2) the export industry sector; (3) the local service sector; (4) the agencies of gov which serve the public needs of the area. Each sector develops its own goals & contributes to the fulfillment of the goals of the other sectors. The goals of all 4 sectors are achieved by raising the real per capita productivity & income of the community.

The human sector contributes skills & effort to all sectors & benefits both materially & in the quality of community life. AA.

AbstractThis chapter surveys the implications of some studies in network economics research for economic development. We focus on information flow and risk-sharing—two topics where work in theory, empirics, and policy analysis have been especially intensive and complementary. In analysing information, we distinguish models of information diffusion and aggregation, highlight how different models imply very different guidance regarding the right way to seed information. In discussing risk-sharing, we look at the key frictions that impede efficient informal insurance, and some potential unintended consequences when policymakers intervene to help. Throughout, we stress practical insights that can be used with limited measurement of the details of networks.
