But these are models not theories

[Aik Admi]

Grab Economic Development by Todaro & Smith and cover the theories that fall in the relevant chapters, which I think are 2... And Shtanzeel is right, these Are theories....though the list is a selection of the most rigorous theories...there are many others that shouldn't be ignored like Prebisch Singer thesis, Big Push, Balanced and Unbalanced Growth, 2 sector Model etc

And a Model is simply a device to back theory up just like an Equation or Historical evidence etc

Dr. Aqdas Ali Kazmi's Vision 2030 would help you regarding this!

He is a former Joint Chief Economist (JCE) at Planning Commission of Pakistan and I am lucky enough to have had worked with him on a Project regarding WTO.

Best advise is to pick book of ML jhinghin. Therr are all these theories backed with mathematical material. It is easy. I myself taught development economics from this book. For advanced reading see Development economics by debraj. Ray. For medium level see AP thirwal and todaro

Ray is the best book but overly choosy about theories and subject content. Todaro and Smith may be more generalised but covers more things as far as theories are concerned - to the best of my memory

How you rate D.Ace Moglu?

Acemoglu? How can I rate him! He is among the leaders of development economists...but does he really have a book on Development Economics? There's Why Nations Fail but I don't know how useful it could be for css candidates who'll need to reproduce long-developed theories, not necessarily AJR's (Acemoglu, Johnson and Robinson) take.
