Question:
Describe the main measures of size and/or cutoff point below which economies are classed as small?
In 1982 the Development Committee of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund "noted the problems of Small Island and landlocked states, and recognized the urgent need to review mechanisms and adjustment prescriptions appropriate to the particular circumstances of such states..." (World Bank 1982).
Show whether small economies have special problems not faced by developing economies that are larger? Do these problems call for special attention?
