Developing Economies in Transition. Volume 1. General Topics

摘要

The first Global Prospects Conference was held at the World Bank, Washington, D.C. on April 25-26, 1989. The stated purpose of the conference was to help strengthen the analysis and forecasting capability for global economic prospects, invite experts in forecasting and modeling from a global sample of countries to exchange views on: how each views his own economy evolving; how they view the linkage to the global economy; and in their view what type of model is best suited for their country of expertise. There were 11 country studies presented at the conference by representatives from selected developing countries while two papers by Bank staff were on the Global Accounting Framework and the Economic Prospects for the Developing Countries in the 1990s. The conference closed with a round table discussion on methodology and developing country policy issues. Volume 1 contains and overview paper, two Bank staff papers, and notes from the round table discussion. (Copyright (c) 1989 The World Bank.)
