Building institutions for markets

The World Development Report, now in its 24th edition, is the standard reference work for international economic data.

It contains an appendix of social and economic statistics for more than 200 countries.

World Development Report 2001: Institutions for Markets focuses on the performance of transition countries in their progress toward market economies.

This edition is centered around the issues related to market reform and how reforms can improve and sustain living standards.

It answers such questions as: How can institutions better support markets? and What are the institutions which make markets effective in delivering inclusive growth?
