- The first of its kind to provide an in-depth evaluation of the financial system of Thailand
- Extensive maps and graphs, including a colour plate section and survey data collected by the author
- Uses micro and macroeconomics to provide an integrated understanding of new and emerging markets
- Provides a new lens in which to evaluate developing economies
Unique in its approach and in the variety of methods and data employed, this book is the first of its kind to provide an in-depth evaluation of the financial system of Thailand, a proto-typical Asian developing economy. Using a wealth of primary source qualitative and quantitative data, including survey data collected by the author, it evaluates the impact of specific financial institutions, markets for credit and insurance, and government policies on growth, inequality, and poverty at the macro, regional, and village level in Thailand. Useful not only as a guide to the Thai economy but more importantly as a means of assessing the impact that financial
institutions and policy variation can have at the macro- and micro-level, including the distribution of gains and losses, this book will be invaluable to academics and policymakers with an interest in development finance.Readership: Academics and students interested in economics, development and welfare. Policymakers, NGOs and organizations working in the field of development finance.
