• Sommario/riassunto: The past two decades have seen exciting changes with developing countries emerging as exporters of services. Technological developments now make it easier to trade services across borders. But other avenues are being exploited: tourists visit not just to sightsee but also to be treated and educated, service providers move abroad under innovative new schemes, and some developing countries defy traditional notions by investing abroad in services.""Exporting Services: A Developing Country Perspective"" takes a brave approach, combining exploratory econometric analysis with detailed case studies
