<p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>INTRODUCTION TO THE SERIES<br/>The aim of the Handbooks in Economics series is to produce Handbooks for various<br/>branches of economics, each of which is a definitive source, reference, and teaching<br/>supplement for use by professional researchers and advanced graduate students. Each<br/>Handbook provides self-contained surveys of the current state of a branch of economics<br/>in the form of chapters prepared by leading specialists on various aspects of this<br/>branch of economics. These surveys summarize not only received results but also<br/>newer developments, from recent journal articles and discussion papers. Some original<br/>material is also included, but the main goal is to provide comprehensive and accessible<br/>surveys. The Handbooks are intended to provide not only useful reference volumes for<br/>professional collections but also possible supplementary readings for advanced courses<br/>for graduate students in economics.<br/>KENNETH J.
