Reviews Economic Record ..." this is a wonderfully stimulating and comprehensive collection of essays on development economics. It deserves to be on the shelf
of every serious scholar of development economics and to be closely read by graduate students working in the area."
Journal of Economics/Zeitschrift für Nationalökonomie "If one abmitiously attempts to make an overall evaluation of these two volumes, one must conclude that the two volumes are excellent
and extremely worthwhile for all readers who are interested in development economics. Not only are almost all important problems tackled
and very well presented in these two volumes, but also one learns how difficult the various problems of developing countries are and
how difficult it is to achieve certain progress in the development of such countries. All chapters have an extremely good reference list
so that one easily finds more literature should one desire to study specific problems."
Journal of Economic Literature ..."The Handbook is an impressive accomplishment. Academics more than practitioners will be the beneficiaries, and a cohort of graduate
students will find the comprehensive surveys and extensive bibliographies a basic reference."
Kyklos ..."Overall, the volume provides an admirable overview of the field of development economics for the topics that it covers. ...We certainly
owe a debt of gratitude to Chenery† and Srinivasan for toiling with the huge task of putting this volume together.
No one else could have done a better job."
Natural Resources Forum ..."The strength of the Handbook is that it presents a reasonable sample of articles on the main topics of development economics, narrowly defined."
Development Policy Review "This addition to the prestigious North-Holland series of Handbooks in Economics is fully up to the high standards set by earlier titles.
..."
"... These books should be obligatory items on the acquisitions list of any libraries which take their coverage of development
economics seriously."
