About the print edition

Following its original publication in 1987, The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics has become established as the leading reference work for economists in all spheres of the discipline.

The past two decades, however, have seen many changes in the world and particularly in the field of economics and so in 2008 Palgrave Macmillan is proud to publish a new edition of the Dictionary of Economics which reflects the state of the discipline today.

The new edition features over 1000 new or heavily revised articles and includes:

  • signed articles by over 1,500 eminent contributors providing a current overview of economics
  • many individual classic essays of enduring importance from the previous edition
  • topics placed in their historical perspective, indicating likely future trends as well as describing the contemporary situation

New or expanded areas include:

  • experimental and behavioural economics
  • game theory
  • international economics
  • technological change and growth

Published in eight print volumes, this second edition is the definitive resource for a new generation of economists.
