Structural Adjustment - Exploring the Policy Issues
Workshop proceedings
Structural Adjustment - Exploring the Policy Issues was released on 18 August 1999. The proceedings are from a workshop organised by the Productivity Commission which was held in Canberra on 21 May 1999.
In recognition of the importance of how policy issues relating to structural adjustment are central to the debate on the future direction of microeconomic reform, the Commission commissioned five leading policy analysts to prepare papers for the workshop. These papers form part of the workshop. It was attended by about fifty participants including academics, senior government officials, consultants, and representatives from social and business groups and the union movement. Also see:
