Stopping Three Big Inflations: Argentina, Brazil, and Peru --Contributors --Author Index --Subject IndexThe debt crisis of 1982 caused serious economic disruptions in most developing countries. Reform, Recovery, and Growth explains why some of these countries have recovered from the debt crisis, while more than a decade later others continue to stagnate. Among the questions addressed are: What are the requirements for a stabilization policy that reduces inflation in a reasonable amount of time at an acceptable cost? What are the effects of structural reforms, especially trade liberalization, deregulation, and privatization, on growth in the short and long runs? How do macroeconomic instability and adjustment policies affect income distribution and poverty? How does the specific design of structural adjustment efforts affect results? In this companion to Macroeconomics of Populism in Latin America, the authors confirm that macroeconomic stability has a positive effect on income distribution. The volume presents case studies that describe in detail the stabilization experiences in Brazil, Israel, Argentina, and Bolivia, and also includes discussion of Chile, Mexico, Peru, and Turkey.National Bureau of Economic Research project report.Economic stabilizationIsraelEconomic stabilizationLatin AmericaEconomic stabilizationTurkeyStructural adjustment (Economic policy)IsraelStructural adjustment (Economic policy)Latin AmericaStructural adjustment (Economic policy)TurkeyLatin AmericaEconomic conditions1982-Economic stabilizationEconomic stabilizationEconomic stabilizationStructural adjustment (Economic policy)Structural adjustment (Economic policy)Structural adjustment (Economic policy)338.956Dornbusch Rudiger7952Edwards Sebastian1953-88759MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807161303321Reform, recovery, and growth4113963UNINA
