"I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and found it most stimulating. What a pleasure it is to read careful empirical work by an author who worries about what his data mean....I find the basic analysis interesting and quite convincing in positive terms." L. Alan Winters, International Trade Division, The World Bank, "...the strength of this book is the empirical analyses of the relation between exchange rates and growth. The results are quite novel (and provocative) and should instigate further empirical analyses on this subject....the empirical results are interesting..." Bo Sandemann Rasmussen, Journal of Economic Literature, "...its insightful observations, emanating from its empirical analysis and an impressively exhaustive literature review, are borne out by African and East European Experience..." Perry S. Mistry, Development Policy Review, "This is a tightly written book on trade and development, firmly based in the real world, which cannot be said about a great deal of economic theory today." Maxwell J. Fry, University of Birmingham, 'I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and found it most stimulating. What a pleasure it is to read careful empirical work by an author who worries about what his data mean ... I find the basic analysis interesting and quite convincing in positive terms.'Alan Winters, International Trade Division, The World Bank, "The hallmark of a good book is not that it answers all questions, but that it changes the way we think. Professor Yotopoulos has given us an original and important idea, and enough evidence to cause us to take it seriously. For these contributions, we owe him a debt of gratitude..." Adrian Wood, The Journal of Development Studies, "He has written an ambitious book...Exchange Rate Parity for Trade and Development is a provocative, interesting book" Review of Radical Political Economics, "This important work makes a major and very timely contribution to the current debate about development strategy for less developed countries, as well as to the debate on restructuring the former Soviet Bloc economies.... Yotopoulos also helps shift the debate from economic theory to institutional and political economy issues, a worthwhile shift." David Felix, Washington University in St. Louis, 'I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and found it most stimulating. What a pleasure it is to read careful empirical work by an author who worries about what his data mean ... I find the basic analysis interesting and quite convincing in positive terms.' Alan Winters, International Trade Division, The World Bank, "Exchange Rate Parity for Trade and Development by Pan Yotopoulos represents a valuable contribution...." David Felix, Latin American Research Review, Yotopoulos wants to show that recent theories of incomplete markets justify a reformulation of optimal exchange-rate policy in developing countries."

Synopsis
Yotopoulos extends recent theories of incomplete markets to investigate empirically the appropriate balance between the market and the state in the trade relations between developed and developing countries. The analysis and tests draw on empirical research from seventy countries to confirm the usefulness and validity of the theoretical framework., This book extends recent theories of incomplete markets to investigate empirically the appropriate balance between the market and the state in the trade relations between developed and developing countries. The conclusion is that in an ideal world government intervention in foreign exchange and trade is necessary in developing countries in the early stages and inevitably decreases as development occurs. Rationing of foreign exchange prevents a 'soft currency distortion' that commonly afflicts developing countries and can turn comparative advantage trade into competitive devaluation trade, with severe losses of income and welfare. Yotopoulos finds that the level of underdevelopment narrowly circumscribes and conditions the extent to which free-market, free-trade, laissez-faire can be beneficial, contrary to the mainstream policy paradigm as currently applied. The analysis and tests draw on empirical research from seventy countries and four extended country studies to confirm the usefulness and validity of the theoretical framework.
