Economic Growth in the 1990s:
Learning from a Decade of Reform
The World Bank's Poverty Reduction and Economic
Management (PREM) Network has prepared a study
on development lessons of the 1990s. The report
reviews the growth impact of the main policy
and institutional reforms introduced in the
1990s, presents a broad perspective on the events,
country experiences, academic research and controversies
of the decade, and reflects on how they alter
our thinking about economic growth. Economic
Growth in the 1990s: Learning from a Decade
of Reform can be purchased from our online bookstore.
The report complements a series of
lectures
by leading development practitioners such
as Larry Summers, President of Harvard University
and Former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury,
and Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Former President
and Former Minister of Finance of Brazil,
discussed their experience as policy makers
at the forefront of policy implementation
in the 1990s.
