The effective mass of the quasiparticle excitations in quasi–two-dimensional systems is calculated analytically. It is shown that the effective mass increases sharply when the density approaches the critical one of metal-insulator transition. This suggests a Mott-type transition rather than an Anderson-like transition. The experimental measurements can be reproduced in this way without any additional parameter.
