안녕하세요, 저는 Columbia University 에서 경제학과 박사과정을 하고 있는 설부강입니다. 제가
진행하고 있는 여러 프로젝트에 같이 참여할 학부생 또는 대학원생 RA 를 구하고 있습니다. 주
업무는 70 년대 정부가 생산한 문서를 엑셀에 입력하는 작업이고, 추후 qualifications 에 따라 다른
업무도 같이 할 예정입니다. 특히 한국 경제사에 관심이 있다면 옛 문서들도 직접 보는 좋은 기회가
될 거라 생각합니다. 가능하면 Columbia 교수님들과 같이 회의에 참여할 기회도 많이 제공하고자
합니다. 혹시 그 외에도 궁금한 사항 있으시면 연락 주시길 바랍니다 (bs2228@columbia.edu).
감사합니다.

• Abstract of the project:
Community-Driven Development (CDD) is a development practice that emphasizes community
participation and control of development process. During these projects, a community committee
is established and an elected community leader leads planning, investing, and implementation
decisions. CDD projects have received a lot of attention from development practitioners for their
promises to effectively deliver small-scale infrastructures, while creating a participatory system
that turns beneficiaries of development projects into active agents. With mounting evidence that
institutions—transparency, participation, accountability, and enhanced capacity—are important
determinants of long-term economic growth, CDD projects are often viewed as an effort to
promote institutional change in developing countries.
However, numerous RCTs have consistently proven that while CDD projects deliver small-scale
infrastructures cost-effectively, they fail to create lasting, structural social change at community-
level. Additionally, many studies find little evidence on the effect of infrastructure projects on
key development outcomes, such as children’s learning and health-related metrics.
Why do Community-Driven Development (CDD) projects fail to establish lasting social
institutions and have long-term effects on key development outcomes? In this paper, I investigate
the exact mechanisms that turn local infrastructure projects into springboards for further
development through the lens of the CDD projects implemented in rural Korea in the 1970s.
