About the Journal
Review of Market Integration addresses issues related to market integration as part of the developmental process of emerging economies. It seeks to explore issues that create barriers to markets in the fields of agriculture, education, health, environment, infrastructure, labour, finance, business and institutional structures. In developing economies these barriers are not only
with respect to international markets but also with respect to regional markets within a country. Review of Market Integration recognises market integration as a mechanism that will help policy makers transform emerging economies into market-based societies. The focus is on law, institutions, incentives and norms that enable markets as a way of improving effi ciency and reducing regional disparities. The journal encourages papers on the study of political processes and measures that have led to the adoption of integrated markets in various countries and regions. Our goal is to learn from national and international experiences, through the process of research and analysis, of long-term solutions to problems that arise on the path to development. Review of Market Integration publishes three annual issues that include studies based on both theoretical and empirical research and those that explore policy impacts of specific programmes in a way that improves the understanding of how markets respond to policy making. Our endeavour is to encourage interactions among policy makers, researchers and practitioners. About IDF: India Development Foundation (IDF) is a privately funded non-profit research organisation. Its major objective is to develop awareness about how markets work, why these are desirable and how these can be developed. Its aim is to help policy makers transform emerging economies into market-based societies. Editorial Board
