Our authors are spread across the world and come from America, Europe and Asia. The list is strong in Development Economics and Public Economics and in books on the boundary between Economics and Philosophy, especially where notions of welfare and equality are concerned. It has a distinct policy orientation. Econometrics has recently become a strength, a new departure has been the establishment of a striking list of books in Finance and we are entering the field of Behavioral Economics.
