Surveys in Development Economics - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book contains ten literature surveys on important topics in development Economics. They provide a review and synthesis of the current state of knowledge within each topic; highlight literature which has advanced understanding; and identify areas where current knowledge is lacking. Particular emphasis is given to theoretical and empirical controversies in the literature and each survey is accompanied by an extensive bibliography. Written mainly by British and American specialists, the surveys include such topics as trade theory and the less developed countries; trade strategies and industrialization in LDCs; multinational enterprises in LDCs; poverty, inequality and development; inflation and stabilization policy in LDCs; technology choice and factor proportions problems in LDCs; the labour market and human capital in LDCs; taxation and development and agriculture and economic development. Designed to complement development economics textbooks used in undergraduate and graduate courses, it should also provide a valuable reference source for researchers in the field, and for anyone interested in development economics.
