Developing Countries in the World Economy

Jaime de Melo

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Differences in the choices of trade and macro policies, both by developing countries and by developed countries towards developing countries, have been critical in determining the overall performance of developing countries. All too often, the performance of developing countries has not been assessed using appropriately conducted studies. The papers in this book are chosen to bridge this gap and show how a quantitative approach to policy evaluation can help resolve controversies and explain the choice of observed policies.
