About this title

Review

...Anyone interested in a detailed analysis of any aspect of the reforms process, and those contemplating research associated with it, will find this book useful. Labour Market Bulletin ...This book is valuable not only for its thorough empirical analysis of New Zealand's economy but also for the general lessons to be drawn from it about the consequences of drastic economic liberalization. Journal of Economic Literature ... The papers are written by foremost experts in each field...
...I would like to commend particularly the authors of three papers for their outstanding analyses of their areas. These are the chapters by Grimes on "Monetary Policy," by Chapple, Harris and Silverstone on "Unemployment" and by Hall on "Economic Growth...".
...This book has helped immensely in setting out the record and analysing the remarkable reforms of the decade...
...These papers deserve the most careful attention of all reform-minded economists.
