Finance and the International Economy: v. 6 (Finance and the International Economy: The AMEX Bank Review Prize Essays - In Memory of Robert Marjolin) - Softcover

These essays are the prize-winning entrants in the sixth annual Essay Competition run by the AMEX Bank Review. This volume covers a range of issues in international finance--from closer monetary union within the EC to transition in Eastern Europe, from company behaviour in Japan to growth in Subsaharan Africa. The essays are of high quality and policy oriented, using their topicality to challenge traditional thought. Of particular importance in choosing the winners is the extent of new thinking and research, while the authors must be able to draw out clear conclusions and recommendations from the analysis. Short summaries and author biographies are presented with each essay.
