Grammar structure
Is there anyone can help me to understand the grammar structure of this phrase: "The much cited economic reforms of the mid1980s". I don't understand why "cited" go before "economic reforms" and what does "much" indicate for?
This is the full sentence:
The difficulty is that the step-up in economic growth occurred about 5 years before the much cited economic reforms of the mid1980s.
I really appreciate for your help, thank you.
