Economic Policy & Equity (International Monetary Fund Book)
by Vito Tanzi, Ke-young Chu, and Sanjeev Gupta
Reflecting its concern with the social implications of economic reform, as well as with the quality of macroeconomic adjustment and growth, the IMF held a conference in June 1998 on economic policy and equity, the proceedings of which are presented in this volume. This conference followed up on one the IMF had held in 1995 on income distribution and sustainable growth. Since this time, experiences with globalization as well as the financial crisis that has affected several countries have deepened the IMF's concern about the need to find the proper responses to equity issues.

Work Description
This book brings together the views not only of policymakers and academics but also of religious leaders and labor leaders from around the world- including the 1998 Nobel Laureate in Economics, Amartya Sen - who participated in an IMF conference on this topic. Contributors discuss the causes of growing inequality and the complex question of how to use policy to make economic systems more equitable under five headings: perspectives on economic policy and equity, globalization and equitable growth, country experiences in equity-oriented policymaking, design and implementation of policy, and a roundtable discussion on lessons for countries and the IMF. Edited by Vito Tanzi, director of the Fiscal Affairs Department of the IMF; Ke-young Chu, a senior advisor; and Sanjeev Gupta, a division chief in the department.
