Development policy and planning : an introduction to models and techniques/ Anis Chowdhury, C. H. Kirkpatrick - London Routledge, c1994 - xii, 132 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm
Includes Bibliographical references[p.123-126] and Index
CONTENTS:
1. Development Policy Analysis and Quantitative Planning Methods. Development policy and planning: an overview. Characteristics of development planning models--
2. Aggregate Consistency Models. The Harrod-Domar growth model. The two-gap model--
3. Disaggregated Consistency Models. Main-sector models. Multi-sector models: input-output analysis. Policy applications of input-output analysis. Extending the model--
4. Multi-Sectoral Models and the Social Accounting Matrix. The social accounting matrix. Limitations of multi-sectoral planning models--
5. Programming Approach to Planning. Linear programming. Shadow pricing of resources. Economic interpretation of dual solutions--
6. Computable General Equilibrium Models. The CGE model approach. An illustrative CGE model. Uses of CGE models--
7. Cost-Benefit Analysis. Financial project appraisal. Economic project appraisal. Shadow pricing methodology. The social discount rate. Distributional issues. Policy analysis and cost-benefit analysis.
This provides a non-technical explanation of the main techniques used for economic policy formulation in developing countries and shows how these models are still integral features of policy management despite new market-based approaches
