Structural Development Macroeconomics can be understood as an approach to the deep determinants of economic development in which the macroeconomic policy regime has a crucial role in explaining international growth rate differences, notably among middle-income countries. It strongly relies on a multidisciplinary but rigorous assessment of the subject, combining some of the main elements of classical development and demand-led growth theories. The idea is to provide a unifying view of development processes from a macro and dynamic perspective.

Recently, economic theory has witnessed a critical shift in its methodology due to the challenges presented in the aftermath of the Great Financial Crisis and the need to design sustainable development policies that are innovative, socially inclusive, and environmentally friendly. Certainly, Structural Development Macroeconomics can provide substantial advancements in understanding the world and facing such troubles. However, the task in front of us requires an interdisciplinary approach. Therefore, it should lead to a cross-fertilisation of fields, tools, and narratives.
