The World Development Report (WDR) 2015 App for iPad offers an accessible and mobile version of this key World Bank flagship on behavioral economics titled Mind, Society and Behavior. The app makes it easy for the user to find all major sections as well as tables, boxes, and figures by key message, region, topic, or several dozen keywords such as “household decision making”, “social norms”, “household income”, and “rational decision-making models.”

The app also contains additional material—some created specifically for this product—to supplement the report and its findings. With full-screen viewing of figures as well as sharing and “favorites” features, the WDR 2015 App for iPad enables development professionals, journalists, students, CSOs, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the connection between jobs and economic and social development to get the most out of this year’s WDR.
