The Mongolian economy : a manual of applied economics for a country in transition

edited by Frederick Nixson (former Professor of Development Economics, School of Economics, University of Manchester, UK), Bat Suvd (Director), Puntsagdash Luvsandorj (Professor of Economics, Director of Research and Deputy Director, School of Economic Studies, National University of Mongolia, Mongolia) and Bernard Walters (former Senior Lecturer in Economics, School of Economic Studies, University of Manchester, UK)

In 1990 Mongolia, the second oldest communist state in the world, initiated a fundamental transformation of its economy and moved rapidly to a multi-party democracy. Unlike any other Asian economy it adopted the shock-therapy approach to transition. This book is the first attempt to provide a detailed examination of transition in Mongolia since 1990. It includes analyses of macroeconomic performance, the agriculture and industry sectors, the labour market and the emerging financial sector. It also focuses on poverty, gender, privatisation and the environment. The contributors to this volume argue that policymakers have exacerbated the painful transition process by underestimating its complexity and by pursuing inappropriate or, at best, overly optimistic policy reforms
