This innovative volume, with contributions from well-established
and newer authors in the field, offers important contemporary
insights on various issues in trade and development. It comprises
both updated reviews on classic issues in the field; important
contributions on newer areas including informal cross border trade,
agglomeration and trade facilitation; and insights from firm
studies. One important theme explored here is the greater
difficulty Sub-Saharan Africa has had in benefiting from trade
compared to East Asia and Latin America.' - Andy McKay, University
of Sussex, UKThis timely Handbook comprehensively explores the
complex relationships between trade and economic performance in
developing countries, illustrating that it is not trade per se that
is important but the context, at the firm, country and regional
level, in which trade occurs. The Handbook on Trade and Development
provides a review of the current understanding of major trade
issues facing developing countries through considering specific
region or country case studies. Broad topics are covered including
trade costs and facilitation; trade preferences; trade and firm
performance; and child labor. Chapters on sub-Saharan Africa cover
primary commodities, informal cross-border trade, agglomeration and
regional integration. Chapters on Latin America include the role of
imported technology; exchange rates; export diversification; FDI;
and firm exporting. Chapters on East Asia cover the increasing
importance of China in world trade and links between trade and
environment, labor markets and FDI. This discerning work will be an
indispensable reference point for academics, researchers and
students of development economics. The broad range of topics
covered will provide a useful insight for practitioners and policy
makers into the nuances of the complex relationship between trade
and the economy in developing regions. Contributors include: C.
