Summary
This book is an expanded version of the Caffè Lectures I gave in 2001 at the University La Sapienza in Rome. I thank the Department of Economics of La Sapienza for inviting me to give these prestigious lectures and for making my stay in Rome such an enjoyable experience.
Along the years I have benefited from discussions with Antonio Estache, Paulina Beato, Luis Guasch, and Ioannis Kessides on the topics of this book. I have also used joint work with my former students Cécile Aubert (chapter 7), Mathieu Meleu (chapters 3 and 8), and Xinzhu Zhang (chapter 6). I thank Hossein Farzin for useful comments on the final draft.
Finally, I thank once more my outstanding secretary Marie-Pierre Boé for typing the manuscript.
