It is the season for compiling lists! We鈥檝e collected the most interesting 2016 lists that we鈥檝e seen so far on topics related to economic development. We also compiled a list of the top five posts from this blog.
Best Books

- by Africa Is A Country (a useful list during the holidays when we find ourselves with time to read fiction)
If you want to avoid getting too bogged down in the newest hype, it鈥檚 also worth checking out the Real World Economics Review list of (compiled through a poll earlier this year).
Best papers, blogs, and misc.

聽Finally, the top 5 most read articles on this blog this year
- Female Economists and the Blogosphere 鈥 Do We Dare Mention Sexism? (as relevant as ever, considering the male dominance of all the above-mentioned lists)

The way this list in chosen does not necessarily all those which are the most significant even if they might be thought to be best by non-scientists. How about a list which covers all the more scientific ones too?
