Description

Economists and other regional specialists address how direct foreign investment in developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region is related to structural change in these countries. These papers aim to cast light on the channels through which investing and host countries interact. They also seek to show a historical sensitivity that draws out the implications of past relationships for future adjustment.
