Forlagets forord til 4. utgave (2012)
This dictionary aims to provide a convenient source of reference for a wide audience. Students taking a first course in economics and non-specialist readers of journals such as The Economist will find clear descriptions of fundamental concepts. For more advanced students and professional economists the dictionary includes entries on technical concepts written in a more formal style.
The main changes to the dictionary reflect the increased prominence of financial markets in public debate since the third edition was produced. This edition includes many new definitions relating to financial instruments, financial regulation, and the novel economic policy responses to the financial crisis. The dictionary also incorporates new developments in economics and econometrics.
