Summary

• Recent years have witnessed a substantial development of global macroeconomic modelling in which researchers have applied techniques developed to consider the industrialized countries to analyse North-South interactions in the world economy.
• This collection of papers uses these advances to examine the implications for the South of macroeconomic developments in the North, to examine international policy questions in a genuinely global context, and to consider the design of policy packages for the Third World (aid versus trade, growth-oriented adjustment) in an empirical context.
