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
.... an impressive accomplishment.
Economic Record
..."One can reasonably expect all development economists to consult this volume extensively, but, as should now be clear, there is something
here for everyone. The quantitative tools certainly have applicability beyond development economics, and the thought-provoking chapters
on institutions and land will be of wide interest."
Economics of Planning
The two sections of the third volume of the Handbook of Development Economics edited by Professor J. Behnnan and T.N. Srinivasan
will certainly be regarded as major reference works by students, teachers and researchers.
..."On the whole, like the first and
second volumes, the IIIA and IIIB volumes will be regarded as a collection of some excellent and useful surveys by many leading authorities
in the field of development economics. ...together, they make excellent reading and sources of very useful references."
