Analyzing and Managing Banking Risk (3rd Edition)A Framework for Assessing Corporate Governance and Financial RiskBy Hennie van Greuning and Sonja Brajovic Bratanovic

The third edition of Analyzing Banking Risk provides a comprehensive overview of topics dealing with the assessment, analysis, and management of financial risks in banking. This book focuses on risk-management principles and stresses that key players in the corporate governance process are accountable for managing the different dimensions of financial risk. Managing the risks associated with the banking industry today has become more difficult. The approach used in this publication provides a framework for identifying the key players in the risk-management process and discussing their accountability for the various dimensions of the financial and other risk management processes.

Banking the PoorMeasuring Banking Access in 54 Economies

How many people are using banking services in poor countries? What financial services are used? And how could access to banking services be expanded to include more people? Banking the Poor explores these

questions, through responses to questions in surveys undertaken in 54 countries, mostly in Africa.

The biggest contribution of this study is new data. Banking the Poor collects information from two sources: central banks and leading commercial banks in each surveyed country. It explores associations between countries’ banking policies and practices and their levels of financial access, measured in terms of the numbers of bank account per thousand adults.

Innovative Financing for DevelopmentEdited by Suhas Ketkar and Dilip Ratha

Developing countries need additional, cross-border capital channeled into their private sectors to generate employment and growth, reduce poverty, and meet the other Millennium Development Goals. Innovative financing mechanisms

are necessary to make this happen. Innovative Financing for Development is the first book on this subject that uses a market-based approach. It compiles pioneering methods of raising development finance including securitization of future flow receivables, diaspora bonds, and GDP-indexed bonds. It also highlights the role of shadow sovereign ratings in facilitating access to international capital markets. It argues that poor countries, especially those in Sub-Saharan Africa, can potentially raise tens of billions of dollars annually through these instruments.

The chapters in the book focus on the structures of the various innovative financing mechanisms, their track records and potential for tapping international capital markets, the constraints limiting their use, and policy measures that governments and international institutions can implement to alleviate these constraints.







2009

Since 1978, the World Bank’s annual World Development Report (WDR) has provided in-depth analysis and policy recommendations on a specific and important aspect of international development from agriculture, the

role of the state, economic growth, and labor to infrastructure, health, the environment, and poverty. In the process, it has become a highly influential publication that is consulted by international organizations, national governments, scholars, and civil society networks to inform their decision-making processes.

In this essay, Shahid Yusuf examines the last 30 years of development economics, viewed through the WDRs. The essay begins with a brief background on the circumstances of newly independent developing countries and summarizes some of the main strands of the emerging field of development economics. It then provides a sweeping examination of the coverage of the WDRs, reflecting on the key development themes synthesized by these reports and assessing how the research they present has contributed to policy making and development thought. The book then looks ahead and points to some of the big challenges that the World Bank may explore through future WDRs. The essay is followed by five commentaries, each written by a distinguished economist or development practitioner, which further explore this terrain from different perspectives.

Together, the contents of this volume provide an extraordinary and remarkably compact tour of development economics

through, around, and beyond the WDR. It will be invaluable to anyone interested in the evolution of development economics over the past three decades as well as for students, scholars, and policy makers in the field of development.

“Shahid Yusuf ’s essay on the World Development Reports is a masterful overview of what has at the same time been 30 years of development economics at the World Bank.”

— Kemal Dervis, Head of the United Nations Development Programme

“The reader benefits from Dr. Yusuf ’s insights into how development economics has changed and how political priority in development has changed over more than 30 years.”

— Takatoshi Ito, Graduate School of Economics, University of Tokyo, and Former Deputy Vice Minister for International Finance, Ministry of Finance of Japan

“This volume not only offers an invaluable retrospective of the World Bank’s best thinking on development but also has the analytical caliber and policy insights to become an indispensable source for those dealing with the present and future growth and equity challenges faced by the developing countries.”

— Ernesto Zedillo, Former President of Mexico and Director of the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization

Global Economic Prospects 2009Commodities at the Crossroads

The eruption of the worldwide financial crisis has radically recast prospects for the world economy. Developing countries face sharply higher borrowing costs and reduced access to capital. Commodity

markets, meantime, are at a crossroads. Years of fast GDP growth contributed to the rise in commodity prices, while the slowdown provoked by the financial crisis has seen those same prices plummet. In the longer run, slower population growth is expected to ease the pace at which commodity demand grows, while commodity producers are expected to discover sufficient new supplies and improved production techniques to prevent any acute shortages from developing. Global Economic Prospects 2009: Commodity Markets at the Crossroads analyzes the implications of the crisis for low- and middle-income countries, including an in-depth look at long-term prospects for global commodity markets and the policies of both commodity producing and consuming nations.


Conditional Cash TransfersReducing Present and Future PovertyBy Ariel Fiszbein and Norbert R. Schady

Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs are one of the most popular interventions in the social sectors in

developing countries. While the details of program design vary, all of these programs transfer resources to poor households conditional on them taking active measures to build up the human capital of their children (enrolling their children in school, taking them for regular health care visits). In almost every instance, transfers are made to women. CCT programs have two clear objectives. First, they seek to provide poor households with a minimum consumption floor. Second, in making transfers conditional, they seek to encourage the accumulation of human capital, and break a vicious cycle whereby poverty is transmitted across generations.This book provides an assessment, based on thorough research, of CCT programs as an instrument of social policy.

“This book provides an up-to-date assessment of CCT programs based on impact evaluations studies from across the world.”

Global Monitoring Report 2009Crisis, MDGs, and the Private Sector

The Global Monitoring Report, an annual series of reports prepared jointly by the World Bank and the IMF, provides an assessment of progress and priorities in the

global development agenda, with a focus on the Millennium Development Goals. The 2009 edition will feature an assessment of the implications of the global financial crisis for developing countries’ growth, poverty reduction, and other MDGs and include a special focus on how the private sector can be better mobilized in support of these countries’ growth and development objectives.

Low Carbon, High GrowthLatin American Responses to Climate Change

There is an increasing consensus in the scientific community that climate change is a real and present threat. Despite the large uncertainty on the timing, magnitude and even the

direction of some of the physical and economic effects of this phenomenon, it is widely accepted that they will be regionally differentiated and that developing countries and lower income populations will tend to suffer the most. In this context, it is critical that Latin American countries develop their own strategies for adapting to the various impacts of climate change, and for contributing to global efforts aimed at mitigation.

Low Carbon Development contributes to these efforts by addressing a number of questions related to the causes and consequences of climate change in the case of Latin America. What are the likely impacts of climate change in the region? Which countries and regions will be most affected? What can governments do to tackle the challenges associated with adapting to climate change? What role can Latin America play in the area of climate change mitigation? While the study does not attempt to provide definitive answers to these questions, its goal is that of contributing new information and analysis that could help inform the public policy debate on this important issue.

Handbook on Poverty and InequalityEdited by Shahidur Khandker and Jonathan Haughton

For anyone wanting to learn, in practical terms, how to measure, describe, monitor, evaluate, and analyze poverty, the Handbook is the place to start. Designed initially to

support training courses on poverty analysis, the Handbook consists of explanatory text with numerous examples, interspersed with multiple-choice questions (to ensure active learning) and combined with extensive practical exercises using Stata statistical software. The sixteen chapters cover the measurement of poverty and poverty lines, how to create poverty profiles, the comparison of poverty over time and across countries, vulnerability to poverty, monitoring and evaluation of poverty, and the effects of public policy on inequality and poverty.

This book will serve as a very useful function in introducing newcomers to poverty analysis and to the entire range of analytical issues that they will be exposed to. It will be required reading for development partners, academics, and researchers for better understanding the rudiments and intricacies of analyzing poverty.

Climate Resilient CitiesA Primer on Reducing Vulnerabilities to DisastersBy Neeraj Prasad, Federica Ranghieri, Fatima Shah, and Zoe Trohanis

Climate Resilient Cities is the first tool of its kind for city governments to better understand how to plan for climate change impacts and

impending natural disasters through sound urban planning. It equips local governments with information to actively engage in training, capacity building, and capital investment programs that are identified as priorities for building sustainable, resilient communities. A step-by-step self-assessment challenges policymakers to think about the resources needed to combat natural disasters through an innovative “hot spot” risk and vulnerability identification tool.

The Primer is unique from other resources in its treatment of climate change under a dual-track approach that tackles both mitigation (lowering contributions to greenhouse gases) and adaptation (preparing for impacts of climate change), integrating it with disaster risk management as part of overall good urban management practices.

In the past, professionals working or training others in development evaluation have not had a comprehensive source of information specific to their needs. The authors have gathered information from

leaders in development and evaluation and combined it with their own wealth of experience in evaluation and development evaluation to publish The Road to Results: Designing and Conducting Effective Development Evaluations. The comprehensive text presents concepts and procedures for evaluation in a development context. Whether one is looking for information in a development context on how to set up a monitoring and evaluation system, or conduct participatory evaluations and do social mapping, or how to construct a “rigorous” quasi-experimental design to answer an impact question, the text provides procedures and examples.

The text begins with a description of the context of development evaluation and how it arrived where it is today. The text then discusses current issues driving development evaluation, such as the Millennium

Development Goals and the move from simple project evaluations to the broader understandings of complex evaluations. The topics of implementing “Results-based Measurement and Evaluation” and constructing a “Theory of Change” are emphasized throughout the text.

Once the reader is introduced to the development context, the authors take the reader down “the road to results,” presenting procedures for evaluating projects, programs, and policies by using a “Design Matrix” to help map the process. This road includes: determining the overall approach, formulating questions, selecting designs, developing data collection instruments, choosing a sampling strategy, and planning data analysis for qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method evaluations. The book also includes discussions on conducting complex evaluations, how to manage evaluations, how to present results, and ethical behavior – including principles, standards, and guidelines. The final chapter of the text discusses the future of development evaluation. This comprehensive text is an essential tool for those involved in development evaluation.

Cost of Pollution in ChinaEstimates of Economic and Physical DamageWorld Bank, State Environmental Protection Administration, China

This book estimates the physical and economic cost of air and water

pollution in China as reflected in the burden of mortality and morbidity associated with environmental pollution, pollution-exacerbated water scarcity, wastewater irrigation, fisheries loss, crop loss, and material damage. Building upon willingness-to-pay surveys for reducing health risks from pollution among households in Shanghai and Chongqing municipalities, the study finds that the health costs of air and water pollution are equivalent to about 4 percent of GDP in China. By adding the non-health impacts of pollution, estimated to be equivalent to about 1.5 percent of GDP, the study indicates that the total cost of air and water pollution in China are equivalent to more than 5 percent of GDP. The book estimates the economic and physical damage at both national and provincial levels, and finds that China’s poor are disproportionately affected by the environmental health burden. The study also provides a set of policy interventions to reduce air and water pollution in China.

Gender Aspects of the Trade and Poverty NexusA Macro-Micro ApproachEdited by Maurizio Bussolo and Rafael E. De Hoyos

This volume introduces the gender dimension in the empirical analyses on the links between trade and poverty.

Gender disparities, an important component of overall inequality, may limit the gains from trade and the potential benefits to poor people. This view is supported by the robust finding that while growth (as well as the gains from trade) is the major vehicle of lifting people out of poverty, it is more likely to be pro-poor when initial inequality is low. High inequality directly lowers the rate of poverty reduction by hindering growth. Ample evidence shows that, in spite of recent improvements, there are still large gender disparities in access to education, health, credit, and other resources. These disparities create inequality traps for women and lower growth in the aggregate.

New Industries from New PlacesThe Emergence of the Hardware and Software Industries in China and IndiaBy Neil Gregory, Stanley D. Nollen, and Stoyan Tenev

Could China and India come to dominate the world’s technology industry by bringing together Chinese hardware and Indian software production? Much attention is being paid to the fact that Asia’s giant neighbors—with more than a third of the planet’s population and two of the fastest-growing economies in the world—are entering a new era of cooperation. By combining these two industries, some believe it will signify the coming of the Asian century of the information technology (IT) industry.

This book represents the first rigorous comparison of China and India’s new growth sectors. It compares the emergence of India and China as global leaders in hardware and software production as well as the growth performance of private enterprise in the IT manufacturing and IT services sectors in China and India. It examines the economic context and the business environment for private enterprise in China and India, and considers how far differences in economic policies or the business environment explain the observed differences in growth performance. The book concludes by evaluating explanations for the growth performance of each sector in each country and by drawing conclusions for future economic policies and business strategies.

Bioenergy DevelopmentIssues and Impacts for Poverty and Natural Resource Management

The expansion of bioenergy production will result in many opportunities and challenges globally in the forestry, agricultural and energy sectors as well as for the poor who

depend on these sectors for their livelihood. This document provides a background and overview of current and future bioenergy developments, defines and describes the main impacts and issues related to poverty and the environment for the main bioenergy production systems, assesses the main opportunities and challenges for groups of countries in similar situations and outlines how future World Bank activities related to bioenergy may be linked to poverty alleviation and environmental protection.

The Sunken BillionsThe Economic Justification for Fisheries ReformBy Kieran Kelleher, Rolf Willman, and Ragnar Arnason

Economic losses in marine fisheries resulting from poor management, inefficiencies, and overfishing add up to US$50 billion per year. Taken over

the last three decades, these losses total over US$2 trillion, a figure roughly equivalent to the GDP of Italy. The Sunken Billions: The Economic Justification for Fisheries Reform argues that well-managed marine fisheries could turn most of these losses into sustainable economic benefits for millions of fishers and coastal communities. According to this book, the bulk of losses occur in two main ways. First, depleted fish stocks mean that there are fewer fish to catch, and therefore the cost of finding and catching them is greater than it might be. Second, fleet overcapacity means that the economic benefits of fishing are dissipated due to redundant investment and operating costs. The book stresses that the figure of US$50 billion represents a conservative estimate, as it excludes losses to recreational fisheries and marine tourism as well as losses due to illegal fishing.

Decentralization and Local Democracy in the WorldFirst Global Report by United Cities and Local Governments 2008

Decentralization and Local Democracy in the World constitutes a global reference

on decentralization by presenting the contemporary situation of local governments in all regions of the world. The report analyzes local authorities in each continent under three main themes: the evolution of territorial structures; responsibilities and power, management and finances; and local democracy. An additional chapter is dedicated to the governance of large metropolises, where rapid growth presents major challenges, in particular in the fast-developing countries of the South. This report also offers a comparative overview of the different realities concerning the state of decentralization, and how the basic indispensable mechansims for local democracy do, or do not exist in come countries.

Breaking Into New MarketsEmerging Lessons for Export DiversificationEdited by Richard Newfarmer, William Shaw, and Peter Walkenhorst

Since the 1950s when countries became concerned that specialization in primary

products would lead to steady falls in the purchasing power of primary exports and slow growth, diversifying out of primary products into manufactures has been a major policy objective of developing countries. Indeed, since that time, developing countries generally have become more diversified, but many low-income countries remain dependent on a narrow range of primary products. This book explores new thinking and evidence about export diversification, and elaborates on policies to promote diversification. The papers in this book are written as short, policy focused chapters that digest often longer, more academic papers in an effort to make them accessible to a larger policy and non-technical audience. In that sense, it is a policy primer: what export diversification can and cannot do for growth, and how to make it happen.

Global Development Finance 2009Managing Vulnerabilities in a Time of Global Turmoil

Global Development Finance—the World Bank’s annual report on the external financing of developing countries--provides monitoring and analysis of development finance, identifying key emerging trends and policy challenges in international financial flows that are likely to affect the growth prospects of developing countries.

Never before has the outlook for financial flows to developing countries been so intricately tied to the specter of collective action by the international community to restore confidence in the functioning of global financial markets and institutions. As the world economy heads toward a deep, broad-based economic slowdown with implications for development finance still in the making, revisionism and anxiety ride high as officials in both developing and developed countries question not only the merits of financial openness and the degree of necessary safeguards, but also the entire architecture of the global financial system.

Vol I: Review, Analysis, and Outlook reviews recent trends in financial flows to developing countries in light of recent events and the global financial crisis.

Vol II: Summary and Country Tables* includes comprehensive data for 138 countries, as well as summary data for regions and income groups. Also available on CD-ROM, with more than 200 historical time series from 1970 to 2007, and country group estimates for 2008.

Africa Development Indicators 2008/09Youth and Employment in Africa: The Potential, the Problem, the Promise

Africa Development Indicators 2008/09 (ADI) provides the most detailed collection of data on Africa available in one volume. It puts together data from different sources, making it an essential tool for policy makers, researchers, and other people interested in Africa. This year’s ADI addresses the issue of youth employment. The report shows that success in addressing youth employment in Africa will not be achieved and sustained through fragmented and isolated interventions. Instead it finds that an arching guideline for addressing the youth employment challenge is the need for an integrated strategy for rural development, growth and job creation — which covers the demand and the supply sides of the labor market and takes into account the youth mobility from rural to urban areas — combined with targeted interventions to help young people overcome disadvantages in entering and remaining in the labor market. This edition includes the Africa Development Indicators 2008/09 Single User CD-ROM and opening articles from leading economists reporting and analyzing key African economic and development issues.

2009 LATIN AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT FORUM SERIES

Measuring Inequality of Opportunities in Latin America and the CaribbeanBy Ricardo Paes de Barros, Francisco H. G. Ferreira, José R. Molinas Vega, and Jaime Saavedra Chanduvi

Equality of opportunity is about leveling the playing field so that circumstances such

as gender, ethnicity, place of birth, or family background do not influence a person’s life chances. Success in life should depend on people’s choices, effort and talents, not to their circumstances at birth. This book introduces new methods for measuring inequality of opportunities and makes an assessment of its evolution in Latin America over a decade. An innovative Human Opportunity Index and other parametric and non-parametric techniques are presented for quantifying inequality based on circumstances exogenous to individual efforts. These methods are applied to gauge inequality of opportunities in access to basic services for children, learning achievement for youth, and income and consumption for adults.

Discrimination in Latin America Through the Eyes of EconomistsEdited by Alberto Chong, Andrea Moro, and Hugo Nopo

Latin America has often been regarded as a region with deep ethnic and class conflicts. The difficulty of assessing this from an economic perspective is two fold: There is little solid, unbiased, and systematic data to provide convincing empirical evidence, and there is a dearth of empirical methods to identify specific discriminatory-based behavior as opposed to related behavior that might only appear to be discriminatory. This book uses a variety of methodological tools to explore the extent to which discrimination against women and demographic minorities is pervasive in Latin America.


Monitoring the Urban Quality of Life in Latin AmericaEdited by Eduardo Lora, Andrew Powell, and Bernard van Praag

In Latin America, a region with a majority population in urban areas, criteria to prioritize policy actions for improving the quality of life in the region’s rapidly growing cities is greatly needed. Although housing infrastructure has improved, a variety of problems affect many cities including insecurity, severe socio-economic segregation, a lack ofpublic spaces and poor transport infrastructure. Looking at eight cities in six Latin American countries, the authors use a methodology that combines the hedonic pricing method and the life-satisfaction approach to identify and value housing characteristics and neighborhood amenities and services. The valuations, in turn, are used to produce quality of life indices to compare neighborhoods and assess the potential impact of improved public amenities and services on housing prices and quality of life for different socioeconomic groups.


The Promise of Early Childhood Development in Latin AmericaEarly childhood development (ECD) outcomes affect one’s income-earning capacity and productivity, longevity, health, and cognitive ability. The deleterious effects of poor ECD outcomes can be long-lasting, affecting school attainment, employment, wages, criminality, and social integration of adults. The authors first take stock of ECD indicators in the region and explore access to ECD services for children of different backgrounds. They review recent evidence on the impact of ECD interventions in the region and investigate more deeply a selection of ECD programs in Latin America and the Caribbean to distill lessons related to their design, implementation and institutionalization processes. The book concludes with a discussion of the challenges of scaling up and presents policy options to develop national ECD policies and programs that may be effective and sustained over time.

Agricultural Land RedistributionToward Greater ConsensusEdited by Hans P. Binswanger-Mkhize, Camille Bourguignon, and Rogier J. E. van den Brink

Despite 250 years of land reform all over the world, important land inequalities remain, especially in Latin America and Southern Africa. While there is near consensus on the need for redistribution in these countries, much controversy persists around how to redistribute land peacefully and legally, often blocking progress on implementation. This book focuses on the “how” of land redistribution in order to forge greater consensus among land reform practitioners and enable them to make better choices on the mechanisms of land reform. Reviews and case studies describe and analyze the alternative implementation options.


Gender in Agriculture SourcebookThis book provides an up-to-date understanding of gender issues and a rich compilation of good practices and lessons learned in integrating gender dimensions into agricultural projects and programs. The Sourcebook looks at: access to and

control of assets; access to markets, information and organization; and capacity to manage risk and vulnerability through a gender lens. There are 16 modules covering themes of cross-cutting importance for agriculture with strong gender dimensions. A separate module on Monitoring and Evaluation is also included.

2009 NEW FRONTIERS OF SOCIAL POLICY SERIES

The Social Dimensions of Climate ChangeEquity and Vulnerability in a Warming WorldEdited by Robin Mearns, Andrew Norton, and Edward Cameron

Climate change is arguably the most profound challenge facing the international community in the 21st century. Tremendous strides have been made over recent years in improving scientific understanding of the human processes driving climate change, but much less understood is how these dynamics in the physical environment interact with socio-economic systems. This book brings together the work of prominent researchers and practitioners who take stock of the latest knowledge on the social dimensions of climate change.


Making ConnectionsPutting Social Policy at the Heart of Infrastructure DevelopmentEdited by Anis A. Dani, Timothy Kessler, and Elliott Sclar

Access to water, sanitation and electricity is as critical to social development as

education and health services. Many developing countries continue to suffer from lack of access, affordability and sustainability of utilities services, which remain essential social policy objectives of utility sector reforms. This book focuses on three inter-related mechanisms—policy and institutional design options, innovations in regulation and contracts, and the role of stakeholders in utility governance—to improve access, affordability, and sustainability of water and electricity services. The main objective is to provide advice enabling policy makers to integrate social policy goals as explicit elements of utility reforms.


Building Equality and Opportunity through Social GuaranteesNew Approaches to Public Policy and the Realization of RightsEdited by Estanislao Gacitua-Mario, Sophia Georgieva, and Andrew Norton

This book examines the validity of a social guarantees approach as a framework for evaluating, monitoring, and improving the design of social policy. Social guarantees are defined as sets of policy mechanisms that determine citizens’ entitlements related to basic services and ensure their fulfillment on the part of the state. The social guarantee concept gives operational expression to fundamental human rights principles by providing mechanisms for awareness, participation, equity, and redress in the delivery of social policy. The social guarantees approach also responds to an emerging global need for a comprehensive social policy model—a new social contract between the state and its citizens—that can face the challenges of inclusive and sustainable globalization. The book includes analytical case studies from Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, South Africa, and the Caribbean region.

Citizenship, Governance, and Social Policy in the Developing WorldEdited by Anis A. Dani and Ashutosh Varshney

The main purpose of this book is to demonstrate the relevance of concepts of citizenship to the discourse on governance. The book chapters, by well-known academics and policy analysts, rely on comparative analysis and case studies to examine how developing countries are addressing three key characteristics of governance—treatment of social diversity, state capacity, and democratic accountability. Policies that promote inclusive citizenship and accountability of public institutions have direct consequences on the state’s ability for social provisioning. The links between state effectiveness, accountability, and legitimacy of public institutions are undeniable. Good governance requires the transformation of subjects and beneficiaries into citizens capable of claiming their rights to foster social integration within society and an acceptable social contract with the state.


In most developing countries, the mixed record of state effectiveness, market imperfections, and persistent structural inequities has undermined the effectiveness of social policy. The New Frontiers of Social Policy Series, edited by Anis A. Dani, examines issues and approaches to extend the boundaries of social policy beyond conventional social services toward more developmental policies and institutions for improving equality of opportunity and social justice in developing country contexts.

MOVING OUT OF POVERTY SERIES

Moving Out of Poverty, Volume 2Success from the Bottom UpEdited Deepa Narayan, Lant Pritchett, and Soumya Kapcor

Most books on growth and poverty reduction are dominated by the perspectives

of policy makers and academic experts. Moving Out of Poverty: Success from the Bottom Up presents the perspectives of poor people who have made it out of poverty. Based on discussions with over 60,000 people across 17 different study regions, it provides a bottom up viewpoint on the processes and local institutions that play key roles in leading to poverty escapes. The study finds that there are no differences between the initiatives taken by the poor, the rich, and the movers. It explores the role of local level democracy, economic opportunities, empowerment, aspirations and people’s organizations, and how these help or hinder people in their quest to move out of poverty.


Moving Out of Poverty, Volume 3The Promise of Empowerment and Democracy in IndiaEdited by Deepa Narayan

Moving Out of Poverty: The Promise of Empowerment and Democracy in India brings together the voices of poor men and women from 300 villages across Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal, as it seeks to understand how these people have managed to escape poverty, while others remain stuck, and still others fall into poverty. The study explores the role of institutions such as family, markets and local panchayats, and factors such as aspiration, empowerment, social exclusion and conflict, health and asset accumulation, in explaining escape from poverty and falling into poverty.


Moving Out of Poverty, Volume 4Rising from the Ashes of ConflictEdited by Deepa Narayan and Patti Petesch

This volume brings together lessons from the Moving Out of Poverty study about why and how people move in and out of poverty in conflict-affected contexts. It features cross-country findings on conflict and mobility, as well as case studies of six countries affected by significant violent conflict during the ten-year period covered by the research.

Distortions to Agricultural IncentivesA Global Perspective, 1955-2007Edited by Kym Anderson

The fifth and final volume in this series provides a global overview over five decades of distortions to agricultural incentives. It includes 75 countries that together account for 92 percent of the world’s population and agricultural GDP and 95 percent of total GDP. The sample countries also account for more than 85 percent of farm production and employment in each of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the transition economies of Europe and Central Asia. Having such a comprehensive coverage of countries, products, and years offers the prospect of obtaining a reliable picture of both long-term trends in policies, and annual fluctuations around those trends, for individual countries and commodities as well as for country groups, regions, and the world as a whole.

The Changing HIV/AIDS LandscapeSelected Papers for The World Bank’s Agenda for Action in Africa, 2007-2011

HIV/AIDS is an enormous economic, social and human challenge to sub-

Saharan Africa. This collection of papers covers the full range of issues involved, from epidemiology and national health systems, to economic policy and technology, assessing their interplay and implications for the future.


HIV and AIDS in South AsiaAn Economic Development RiskEdited by Markus Haacker and Mariam Claeson

This book offers an original perspective on AIDS as a development issue in South Asia, a region with a heterogeneous

epidemic and estimated national HIV prevalence rates of up to 0.5 percent. The analysis challenges the common perception of HIV and AIDS which has been shaped to a large extent by analysis of HIV and AIDS in other regions with much higher prevalence rates. Three risks to development are associated with HIV and AIDS in South Asia: the risk of escalation of concentrated epidemics, the economic welfare costs, and the fiscal costs of scaling up treatment.

Intensifying the Fight Against MalariaThe World Bank’s Booster Program for Malaria Control in Africa

This book describes the Booster Program for Malaria Control in Africa,

its purpose, its achievements during the first three years of operation, and the acceleration of the World Bank’s efforts in the fight against malaria in Africa over the next three years (2008-2011). Major reductions in malaria deaths and illness are possible within the next five to seven years. Attacking the disease full-force with a front-loaded effort will have tremendous impact on health and economic outcomes. African nations and the global community are gearing up to meet this goal. As one of the top three funders of malaria control, the World Bank is called to play a lead role in this effort.

India’s Investment ClimateVoices of Indian Business

By Aurora Ferrari, Inderbir Singh Dhingra

The Indian economy has emerged as one of the world’s fastest growing economies in the past few years. Greater investment, increased productivity, and deeper integration in the world economy have been the key growth drivers. Nonetheless, three main challenges remain: insufficient job creation in the formal sector; large and growing disparities between states; and increasing, but still low, productivity. India’s Investment Climate identifies what the government can do to tackle these challenges by improving the investment climate for three key sectors, manufacturing, retail and software-ITES. The analysis is based on four new datasets of more than 8000 interviews with firms.

Transport Prices and Costs in AfricaA Review of the Main International Corridors

throughout Africa and provides a compelling case for a number of national and regional reforms that are vital to the effort to address the underlying causes of high transport prices and costs and service unpredictability seen in Africa.



ECONOMIC GROWTH

Sustaining Reforms for Inclusive Growth in CameroonBy Florence Charlier, Charles N’Cho-Oguie

This comprehensive review of Cameroon’s development policies since the 1970s-including public finance, privatization, trade, infrastructure, and governance-finds that Cameroon’s malaise is due less to a lack of resources than to an inability to sustain reforms and to implement growth-enhancing policies. While the government’s strategies have been sound, this volume argues that an ‘administrative inertia’ has set in. This study makes a number of key recommendations to overcome this inertia, enhance cohesion and consistency in government actions, strengthen capacity to effectively execute programs, and hence increase development outcomes for Cameroon.


Microeconomic Underpinnings of GrowthA Latin American Perspective

Edited by Norman Loayza and Luis Serven

This book documents the regulatory obstacles faced by firms, particularly in developing countries, and assesses their implications for firm renewal and macroeconomic performance. It provides evidence that streamlining the regulatory framework would have a significant social pay-off, particularly in developing countries also burdened by weak governance. In tracing links between microeconomic policies and distortions, on the one hand, and aggregate performance in terms of productivity, growth and volatility, on the other, this book seeks to derive relevant lessons for development policy.


Tigers Under ThreatThe Search for a New Growth Strategy by Malaysia and its Southeast Asian Neighbors

By Shahid Yusuf and Kaoru Nabeshima

Southeast Asian tiger economies feel threatened by competition from other countries and worry that their growth momentum might be flagging. Even though their growth rates are above the average for the world and for developing countries, they fall short of yesterday’s economic performance. The underlying worry is that they presage the beginning of a downward trend, the harbingers of which are lower rates of investment, persistently low rates of total factor productivity and low levels of innovativeness.

This book tackles these issues by means of a comparative analysis of the Southeast Asian tiger economies, centered on Malaysia. This analysis draws upon a comprehensive set of techniques and indicators to assess competitive pressures, gauge industrial and technological capabilities and to indicate the directions of industrial change in Southeast Asia could take.

Urbanization and GrowthEdited by Michael Spence, Patricia Clarke Annez, and Robert M. Buckley

First in a series of thematic volumes, this book was

prepared for the Commission on Growth and Development to evaluate the state of knowledge of the relationship between urbanization and economic growth. It does not pretend to provide all the answers, but it does identify insights and policy levers to help countries make urbanization work as part of a national growth strategy. It examines a variety of topics: the relevance and policy implications of recent advances in urban economics for developing countries, the role of economic geography in global economic trends and trade patterns, the impacts of urbanization on spatial inequality within countries, and alternative approaches to financing the substantial infrastructure investments required in developing-country cities.

Written by prominent academics in their fields, Urbanization and Growth seeks to create a better understanding of the role of urbanization in growth and to inform policy makers tackling the formidable challenges it poses.

No Growth without Equity?Inequality, Interests, and Competition in Mexico

Edited by Michael Walton and Santiago Levy

Equity and growth are central concerns for development. They are often treated as separate questions, both in economic and social analysis and development policy. This separation is neither good theory nor good practice. This book examines the relationship between equity and growth in Mexico. The central thesis is that Mexico’s poor growth performance of the last twenty five years is intimately linked to inequity. Specific inequalities in power, wealth, and status have created and sustained economic institutions and polices that both tend to perpetuate these inequalities and are sources of inefficiencies and lack of dynamism in the economy.

Does Private Sector Participation Improve Performance in Electricity and Water Distribution?Katharina Gassner, Alexander

Popov, and Nataliya Pushak

Does Private Sector Participation Improve Performance in Electricity and Water Distribution? This question has proven deceptively difficult to answer in the context of utilities in developing economies. The authors examine the question of private versus public performance in a natural monopoly setting. They address the shortfalls of earlier research and arrive at fact-based conclusions that are robust globally. Using a data set of more than 1,200 utilities in 71 developing and transition economies--the largest know data set in the area--this study finds that privately operated utilities convincingly outperform state-run ones in operational performance and labor productivity.

Transparency and Accountability in Water and SanitationAction, Learning, Experiences

By Maria Gonzalez de Asis, Per Ljung, and Donal O’Leary

This volume will serve as a useful tool for those who wish to diagnose, analyze, and take action against systemic corruption in the water and sanitation sectors. On a global scale, more than 1 billion people live without access to safe, potable water, in part because of poor governance and corruption. Illegal connections and substantial losses caused by deferred maintenance have eroded the revenues of water utilities, leading to a downward spiral in performance. Embezzlement of funds, bribes for access to illegal water connections, manipulation of meter counters, and collusion in public contracts add to the litany of corrupt practices. This manual will serve as a practical guide for governments, civil society organizations, and citizens themselves in their quest for a model of service provision that responds to the pressing needs of people in the developing world.

Abolishing School Fees in AfricaLessons from Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, and Mozambique

Progress in literacy and learning, especially through

universal primary education, has done more to advance human conditions than perhaps any other policy. Our generation has the possibility of becoming the first generation ever to offer all children access to good quality basic education. But it will only happen if we have the political commitment—at the country as well as at the international level—to give priority to achieve this first in human history. And it will only happen if also those who cannot afford to pay school fees can benefit from a complete cycle of good quality primary education. Investment in good quality fee-free primary education should be a cornerstone in any government’s poverty reduction strategy.

This book provides a guide for policymakers dealing with housing finance in emerging markets. It highlights the prerequisites for an effective housing finance system; it lays out several policy alternatives and models of housing finance; and it explores the role of governments in expanding access to housing finance for lower-income households.

The Good Practices Guide presents 36 key concepts—legal, operational and practical—that countries can use to develop NCB forfeiture legislation that will be effective in recovering stolen assets. Exerts from legislation, sample forms and good practices of 18 civil and common law jurisdictions are used to illustrate these concepts.


Debt Relief and BeyondLessons Learned and Future Challenges

Edited by Carlos A. Primo Braga and Doerte Doemeland

The Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative is the first comprehensive multilateral debt relief framework for low-income countries. After 12 years of this initiative, 33 countries have qualified for HIPC assistance. Debt relief, associated with HIPC and the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI), introduced in 2005, amounts to US$117 billion in nominal terms, benefiting 33 countries—an amount that represents about 50 percent of these countries 2007 GDP.

This book assesses the implications of debt relief for low-income countries and how the benefits from debt relief can be preserved in the future. It examines key question related to debt relief, debt sustainability and debt management:

• what are the consequences of debt relief to low-income countries for poverty-reducing expenditures, growth and access to finance?

• can debt relief guarantee debt sustainability?

• how can debt management in low-income countries be improved?

• which lessons can low-income countries learn from other countries that went through debt restructuring episodes?

This volume attempts to answer these and other important questions.

Edited by Jouni Eerikainen, John Redwood III

This evaluation assesses the Bank Group’s support for environmental sustainability—in both the public and private sectors—over the past 15 years. It identifies several crucial constraints that need to be addressed, perhaps most importantly insufficient government commitment to environmental goals and weak institutional capacity to deal with them. But constraints within the Bank Group, including insufficient attention to longer-term sustainable development, must be reduced as well. The Bank Group needs improved systems in place—across the World Bank, IFC, and MIGA—to monitor environmental outcomes and to assess impacts. Better coordination among the three parts of the Bank Group is also among the key challenges.

The World Bank has committed itself to becoming a “global knowledge bank”, using knowledge to improve the development effectiveness of its work. Two of the analytical and advisory ways the Bank provides knowledge to its client countries are economic and sector work (ESW) and nonlending technical assistance (TA). ESW and TA are an essential part of the Bank’s engagement with its clients—it spent $910 million (26% of its spending on country services) on these products during fiscal 2000-06.This evaluation assesses the extent to which the stated objectives of ESW and TA have been met. It also assesses whether the way ESW and TA are originated, partnership with clients in production, technical quality, and dissemination of these products influence the extent to which the stated objectives are met.

Global Economic Prospects 2008Technology Diffusion in the Developing World

Global Economic Prospects 2008: Technology Diffusion in the Developing World examines

the state of technology in developing countries and the pace with which it has advanced since the early 1990s. Global Economic Prospects came on the heels of an extended period of strong growth and a 15 year period of strong performance in much of the developing world, which has contributed to substantial declines in global poverty. While high oil prices and heightened market volatility may signal a coming pause in this process, over the longer term continued technological progress should continue to push back poverty.


Global Monitoring Report 2008MDGs and the Environment: Agenda for Inclusive and Sustainable Development

Global Monitoring Report 2008, the fifth in an annual series, is essential reading for those who wish to follow the global development agenda and debate in 2008. The year marks the midpoint toward the 2015 deadline for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It is also an important year to work toward a consensus on how the world is going to respond to the challenge of climate change, building on the foundation laid at the Bali climate change conference in December 2007. The report spans this agenda. It provides a comprehensive assessment of progress toward the MDGs and related policies and actions. It addresses the challenge of climate change and environmental sustainability and assesses its implications for development.


The Growth ReportStrategies for Sustained Growth and Inclusive Development

The result of two years work by 19 experienced policymakers and two Nobel

prize-winning economists, The Growth Report is the most complete analysis to date of the ingredients which, if used in the right country-specific recipe, can deliver growth and help lift populations out of poverty. It does not have all the answers, but it does identify some of the key insights and policy levers to help countries achieve high, sustainable and inclusive growth.


Rising densities of human settlements, migration and transport to reduce distances to market, and specialization and trade facilitated by fewer international divisions are central to economic development. The transformations along these three dimensions—density, distance, and division—are most noticeable in North

America, Western Europe, and Japan, but countries in Asia and Eastern Europe are changing in ways similar in scope and speed. World Development Report 2009: Reshaping Economic Geography concludes that these spatial transformations are essential, and should be encouraged. The conclusion is not without controversy. Slum-dwellers now number a billion, but the rush to cities continues. Globalization is believed to benefit many, but not the billion people living in lagging areas of developing nations. High poverty and mortality persist among the world’s “bottom billion”, while others grow wealthier and live longer

lives. Concern for these three billion often comes with the prescription that growth must be made spatially balanced. The WDR has a different message: economic growth is seldom balanced, and efforts to spread it out prematurely will jeopardize progress.

The Report:• documents how production becomes more concentrated spatially as

economies grow. • proposes economic integration as the principle for promoting successful

spatial transformations. • revisits the debates on urbanization, territorial development, and

regional integration and shows how today’s developers can reshape economic geography.
