Arestis (university director of research, Cambridge Center for Economic and Public Policy, University of Cambridge, UK) collects key papers from a September 2005 conference held at the
Department of Land Economy at the University of Cambridge. The theme of the conference was the nature, causes, and features of economic growth across countries and regions. The papers address a
broad range of growth-related topics, from theoretical analyses of economic growth in general, to empirical analyses of growth in the OECD, transition economies, and developing economics.
Contributors from the UK, Europe, the US, and South America address issues including endogenous growth theory, Keynesian theories of the business cycle and growth, FDI and productivity
spillovers, and knowledge externalities and growth. The readership for the book includes those interested in economic theory and economic policy-making, as well as students and scholars of
macroeconomics and finance. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
