Abstract
The survey is undertaken in response to feedback received from readers on earlier surveys conducted by the author in different areas of economics. The present survey of economic development intends to enhance the quality of teaching and will enable instructors to update their reading lists. Students might find the information valuable in completing term projects and assignments. Publishers might utilize the data, especially Arabic numerals in parentheses to arrive at decisions with regard to reprinting of edited volumes, journal articles and monographs. Librarians might use the information from the survey to develop a balanced collection, which is important in the light of budget cuts and rapid inflation in books, journals, and microform prices. To fulfill these objectives, a questionnaire is designed and directed at heads of economics departments requesting information pertaining to course objectives and/or content, readings assigned, prerequisites before enrolling in given courses, methods of grading and recent shifts of emphasis to new areas of teaching in the past ten years. The questionnaire asking for information was sent to a sample of 97 American universities and to all Cana dian universities.
