The Economics of Resource Rich Economies discusses the problems and benefits of economies rich in natural resources. After a brief look at some historical aspects, it explores the concept known as the 'Dutch Disease' and offers empirical and theoretical insights into the effects of rich natural resources on economic growth. It investigates the political economy of natural resources, issues of conflict and natural resources and a variety of policies and strategies for managing the revenue from natural resources.
The objective of the Single European Act is to establish a European market without barriers, thereby enabling the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital. To achieve this end the European Commission has put forward some 300 directives to be implemented by 1 January 1993. The contributors to this volume offer a critical evaluation of the likely effects of these measures for Europe as a whole and for the UK economy, in particular.

Depending on one's point of view, multinational enterprises are either the heroes or the villains of the globalized economy. Governments compete fiercely for foreign direct investment by such companies, but complain when firms go global and move their activities elsewhere. Multinationals are seen by some as threats to national identities and wealth and are accused of riding roughshod over national laws and of exploiting cheap labor. However, the debate on these companies and foreign direct investment is rarely grounded on sound economic arguments. This book brings clarity to the debate. With the contribution of other leading experts, Giorgio Barba Navaretti and Anthony Venables assess the determinants of multinationals' actions, investigating why their activity has expanded so rapidly, and why some countries have seen more such activity than others. They analyze their effects on countries that are recipients of inward investments, and on those countries that see multinational firms moving jobs abroad. The arguments are made using modern advances in economic analysis, a case study, and by drawing on the extensive empirical literature that assesses the determinants and consequences of activity by multinationals. The treatment is rigorous, yet accessible to all readers with a background in economics, whether students or professionals. Drawing out policy implications, the authors conclude that multinational enterprises are generally a force for the promotion of prosperity in the world economy.
What exactly is spatial inequality? Why does it matter? And what
should be the policy response to it? These questions have become
important in recent years as the spatial dimensions of inequality
have begun to attract considerable policy interest. In China,
Russia, India, Mexico, and South Africa, as well as most other
developing and transition economies, spatial and regional
inequality - of economic activity, incomes, and social indicators -
is on the increase.
