Abstract

This paper surveys the main contributions of Amartya Sen in the fields of social choice theory, income distribution, and measurement of poverty. His empirical studies on famine and his discussion of the fundamental themes of rational choice are also commented on. A recurring theme in Sen's work is his concern with issues of income distribution.
