摘要:E ach year the Reserve Bank of Australia invites a group of economists to a conference organised around a theme of topical interest. The volume presently under review records proceedings of the third in a sequence of conferences, held in 1979, 1990 and 2000, that provides an overview and analysis of the main developments in the Australian economy and economic policy over the previous decade. Taken as a whole the papers in this volume succeed in providing a very useful and accessible overview of the Australian economy in the 1990s. Its non-technical style will ensure a wide readership.
