Description

This book uses a unique and extensive data survey of manufacturing firms in Zimbabwe to analyse firm-level responses to economic liberalization. The focus on labour and financial markets, investment behaviour, the determinants of entrepreneurship, productivity growth and efficiency, export performance, firm growth, and resource shifts between different manufacturing activities. Understanding these determinants is crucial evaluating the success or failure of structural adjustment.
