Stabilization and Adjustment in Egypt. Reform or De-Industrialization (en Inglés) - Gouda Abdel-Khalek

This vital and timely study analyses the impact of ERSAP at two distinct levels - macro- and microeconomic. At the macro level the effects of ERSAP on variables including interest and exchange rates, domestic public debt, trade balance, budget deficit and inflation are considered. At the micro level two industrial case studies are considered in detail: the aluminium industry, and the iron and steel industry. Both are energy intensive industries affected specifically by ERSAP's policy of raising energy prices towards parity with world prices. They are also usually considered essential to any serious industrialization process.

This book will interest and inform practitioners, policymakers and scholars of economics, industrial economics, development economics and development studies.
