The Mongolian Economy - A Manual of Applied Economics for a Country in Transition (Hardcover): Frederick Nixson, Bat Suvd,... The Mongolian Economy - A Manual of Applied Economics for a Country in Transition (Hardcover)

In 1990 Mongolia, the second oldest communist state in the world, initiated a fundamental transformation of its economy and moved rapidly to a multi-party democracy. Unlike any other Asian economy it adopted the shock-therapy approach to transition. This book is the first attempt to provide a detailed examination of transition in Mongolia since 1990. It includes analyses of macroeconomic performance, the agriculture and industry sectors, the labour market and the emerging financial sector. It also focuses on poverty, gender, privatisation and the environment. The contributors to this volume argue that policymakers have exacerbated the painful transition process by underestimating its complexity and by pursuing inappropriate or, at best, overly optimistic policy reforms.

The Move to the Market? - Trade and Industry Policy Reform in Transitional Economies (Hardcover, Illustrated Ed): Paul Cook,... The Move to the Market? - Trade and Industry Policy Reform in Transitional Economies (Hardcover, Illustrated Ed)
Paul Cook, Frederick Nixson
R4,363 Discovery Miles 43 630 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Move to the Market? brings together recent contributions that critically review and examine the role that trade and industry policy reforms have played in the transitional economies. It relates trade and industry policy to the wider set of reforms being implemented as part of the process of moving from a predominantly centrally planned to a more market-oriented economy. The book highlights the different and complex patterns of development that are emerging between the transitional economies of Europe, Africa and Asia.

Economics and Development Studies (Hardcover): Michael Tribe, Frederick Nixson, Andy Sumner Economics and Development Studies (Hardcover)
Michael Tribe, Frederick Nixson, Andy Sumner
R4,942 Discovery Miles 49 420 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Development studies textbooks and courses have sometimes tended to avoid significant economic content. However, without an understanding of the economic aspects of international development many of the more complex issues cannot be fully comprehended. Economics and Development Studies makes the economic dimension of discourse around controversial issues in international development accessible to second and third year undergraduate students working towards degrees in development studies.

Following an introductory chapter outlining the connections between development economics and development studies this book consists of eight substantive chapters dealing with the nature of development economics, economic growth and structural change, economic growth and developing countries, economic growth and economic development since 1960, the global economy and the third world, developing countries and international trade, economics and development policy, and poverty, equality and development economists, with a tenth concluding chapter.

This book synthesizes existing development economics literature in order to identify the salient issues and controversies and make them accessible and understandable. The concern is to distinguish differences within the economics profession, and between economists and non-economists, so that the reader can make informed judgments about the sources of these differences, and about their impact on policy analysis and policy advice. The book features explanatory text boxes, tables and diagrams, suggestions for further reading, and a listing of the economic concepts used in the chapters.
