This volume includes some of the papers presented at the Inaugural Conference of the Institute for Social and Economic Studies (IESE), which took place on 19 September, 2007, in Maputo. The articles contained in this volume were selected from two Conference panels, on “Macroeconomic themes” and “Social and economic development and poverty”. The topics of the Conference, on “Challenges for social and economic research in Mozambique”, and of the panels were broad and dependent on papers submitted. Hence, the current selection of papers does not address a common problematic nor follow a common approach. The only common element in all papers is that they all deal with economic issues, although following different methodologies and approaches.
