| Synopsis: |
This network CD-ROM serves as a source of information for the development community, researchers, non-governmental organizations, journalists and academics. Formerly the statistical appendix to the "World Development Report" and now a free-standing publication, the comprehensive data has been enlarged to include data tables with some 800 indicators. The statistics found in the WDI are vital to those in the private sector who are analyzing business opportunities in developing countries and emerging markets. The book provides an expanded view of the world economy for nearly 50 countries - with chapters focusing on people, economy, environment, states and markets and global links. |
