Description
This third volume of the Handbook of Development Economics employs rigorous theoretical and empirical frameworks. It focuses
on policy and includes material from unpublished and not generally available sources. In particular, it covers analytical and policy
issues arising from the collapse of the paradigm of development based on import-substituting-industrialization in most developing countries;
and the demise of centrally planned economies of
Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. The volume also deals with the increasing
recognition of the importance of micro behavioral responses to a range of incentives and unobserved factors both for analysis and for
policy formulation.
It discusses the ongoing process of economic reforms in developing countries by reducing state involvement in the
economy through privatization, opening up the economy much more to foreign trade and investment and allowing market forces and the private
sector to guide resource allocation to a much greater extent. As well as updating developments on topics which were included in the earlier
volumes, this Handbook also includes different topics, such as econometric and
other empirical modeling tools for development analysis
and the role of technology in the development process.
As in the previous volumes of the series, the chapters in this Handbook provide
self-contained surveys summarizing not only received knowledge but also recent developments. Each chapter is also a definitive source,
reference and teaching supplement for use by researchers and advanced graduate students.
