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 ambitiously 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."
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."
The Economic Journal ..."Each survey is self-contained .... with its own bibliography and notes to assist the reader and student in further study. ..... an
extensive and excellent index also helps the reader to study what is being said on specific matters across the various surveys."
