`This book is unique in its broad coverage of the concept of
"division of labour". The variety of contributions highlight the
shape of the "division of labour", showing that it is not just
limited to the old notions of the degree of the division of labour
among productive units, along the lines of Adam Smith, or the
degree of specialization amongst countries, along the lines of
David Ricardo. The authors use different apertures to present a
panoramic and detailed view of contemporary analyses, including not
only gender, but also assets, sectors and nations. The book edited
by Robert Solow and Jean-Philippe Touffut therefore provides a
refreshing new vision on one of the oldest concepts popular in
economic analyses.' - Luc Soete, Maastricht University and Director
of UNU-MERIT, The Netherlands How is work divided up in the
household, within an industry, a nation or between continents? What
are the dynamics of the division of labour? The wide-ranging
contributions to this book explore these questions from
technological, capital and political perspectives. They include
in-depth studies of gender, the firm, countries' economic
specializations, ICTs, foreign direct investment and agriculture.
In this book, ten distinguished contributors - economists, scholars
and practitioners - take stock of the shape of the division of
labour and provide useful policy recommendations. The Shape of the
Division of Labour will interest researchers and students of
international economics, labour economics, international trade and
finance, as well as economists and public policy advisers and
analysts.
