The first assesses prospects for the major regions of the world including the United States, Japan and the European Community. The second examines macroeconomic policy looking specifically at monetary and fiscal policy, exchange rates, income policies, the public sector and social policies. The final section deals with microeconomic policies for trade, agriculture, energy, the environment, labour markets and financial markets.;The breadth of evidence and practical relevance of the analysis should make the book valuable reading for policy-makers, advisors, corporate planners, professional economists and students.
