Development Microeconomics

Produktbeschreibung

Development Microeconomics is the first in a series of books which looks at the entire spectrum of development economics issues and combines the strengths of conventional developmental thought with the insights of contemporary mainstream economics. The main new conceptual tool used is the application of the theory of imperfect information and the effects this has on the behavior of economic agents. This book is designed specifically for graduate students.
