Description
The latest edition of this popular microeconomic policy text aims to show how microeconomic principles are applied to issues of government microeconomic policy towards the private sector.
Since the last edition of this text, microeconomic reform has become a central policy issue for government. The book examines the most recent developments in public policy to business.
The first part of Australian Microeconomic Policies looks at market failure and the policy processes designed to address such market failure. The second part examines recent microeconomic policy. This section has been substantially revised and enlarged. Recent developments in competition policy, industry policy and foreign investment policy have been covered, while new and up-to-date case studies relevant to these areas are also included.
Expanded chapters on agricultural policy and mining policy (including new case studies), privatisation and public enterprise, make this a comprehensive text in microeconomic policy.
