Reviews
'These two volumes, ably organised and edited by Sisira Jayasuriya, are a fitting testimony to the remarkable and consistently high academic productivity of Professor Peter Lloyd over almost four decades... The contents are organised around his many and diverse contributions to the fields of international trade theory and policy... An excellent short introduction by Sisira Jayasuriya summarises the evolution of Peter Lloyd's academic career from a boy from the bush in New Zealand to a pre-eminent trade economist.' -- Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies 'This is a superb compilation of papers by leading economists on a well-chosen range of topics in international economics. The collection as a whole offers a good balance of theory, quantitative analysis and policy. A fitting tribute to a great economist - Peter Lloyd, and a must read for academic economists and practitioners alike.' -- Prema-chandra Athukorala, Australian National University 'Peter Lloyd has been a prolific and influential contributor to international trade theory and to rigorous policy analysis in several fields, mostly in applied microeconomics. Here is an impressive collection of papers on trade theory and his other interests by leading economists written in his honour.' -- W. Max Corden, The Johns Hopkins University, US '33 distinguished contributors spread across four continents are to be congratulated for these high-quality and stimulating sets of essays. The range of issues covered is remarkably comprehensive: trade theory and policy; trade and market structure; WTO issues, trade negotiations and regional integration; trade and poverty; political economy; and empirical investigations. The essays are a fitting testimony to the consistently creative, rigorous and path-breaking work of Peter Lloyd in these and related areas over a period spanning nearly 40 years.' -- Hal Hill, Australian National University
