The Economics of Adjustment and Growth

The Economics of Adjustment and Growth Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Economics of Adjustment and Growth moves the study of macroeconomics for developing economies away from the traditional static approach and toward a more dynamic, growth-oriented framework. Pierre-Richard Agénor presents an analysis of policy issues involved in designing economic adjustment programs in developing countries and structural reform policies aimed at fostering economic growth. Emphasizing the need to take into account the structural features of these countries, his work dwells on the considerable body of analytical research and empirical evidence of the past two decades in academic circles and international organizations. It provides cutting-edge analysis of many current real-world issues, such as financial crises and the role of trade integration in fostering economic growth. Overall the book offers an impressive overview of the macroeconomic and structural adjustment issues facing developing economies today.

Review:

From the prepublication reviews

"This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of issues, theory, and empirical evidence on the complex relations between stabilisation, structural reform, and growth. Pierre-Richard Agénor skillfully blends theory, empirical evidence, and policy lessons on all relevant topics related to growth and development. Brilliantly written, this book is required reading for professional economists and advanced students concerned with adjustment and reform, as well as policymakers in developing countries."
