Growth And Economic Development: Essays in Honour of A. P. Thirlwall - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This valuable and engaging new book bears eloquent testimony to A.P. Thirlwall's substantial contribution to economics over the last 40 years. The volume does not attempt to provide a comprehensive review of such a prolific figure, but rather demonstrates the considerable influence that his work on economic theory has had on his contemporaries, and the profession as a whole.

From his early pioneering research in regional and labour economics to his more recent exploration of growth and development economics, leading experts in the field bear witness to the significant role he has played in the evolution of the discipline. In addressing some of the most pivotal aspects of his career, the contributors cover a range of topics including 'Thirlwall's Law', the application of Keynesian macroeconomic approaches, the 'General Theory' within open economies, the connection between short-run cycles and long-run growth, endogenous growth theory, the Stability and Growth Pact, as well as broader development issues and problems. In championing Thirlwall's challenging work, this volume provides a lively and comprehensive account of some of the most important areas of economics today.

This book will prove an essential read for academics and policy makers alike who are interested in trade, growth and development economics.
