The publication also featured contributions from academic luminaries including Nobel laureates Joseph Stiglitz (Columbia University) and Roger Myerson (University of Chicago), and prominent economists such as Jeffrey Sachs Columbia University), Paul Collier (University of Oxford), Ha-joon Chang (University of Cambridge), Kaushik Basu (World Bank), Francois Bourguignon (Paris School of Economics), Ernest Aryeetey (University of Ghana), Mustapha Nabli (former Central Bank Governor of Tunisia) and Julia Cagé (Sciences-Po, Paris).
Launched in Vienna on December 1 during the 2015 UNIDO General Conference and deploying significant portions of research supported by Quantum Global group Founder, Mr Jean Claude Bastos De Morais, the Handbook represents a stellar piece of distinguished academic analysis exploring a raft of economic and socio-political underpinnings of Africa’s growing global significance.
