Abstract

The award-winning The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, 3rd edition, consists of over 3,000 articles written by leading figures in the field including 36 Nobel prize winners. This is the definitive scholarly reference work for a new generation of economists. This third edition includes classic and foundational articles of enduring importance as well as new material added since the last edition on such topical issues as the global financial crisis, from theoretical, econometric and historical perspectives, and coverage of the Euro crisis and its aftermath. The economics of gender, health economics and the economics of the internet all play a growing role in this third edition.
