Description
For this Handbook authors known to have different views regarding the nature of development economics have been selected. The Handbook
is organised around the implications of different sets of assumptions and their associated research programs. It is divided into three
volumes, each with three parts which focus on the broad processes of development.
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 It focuses on policy and includes material from unpublished and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.
