Poverty, Growth, and Institutions in Developing Asia
The theme of this book is that economic growth is key, but institutions and other national and subnational attributes matter as well. They are critical to explaining differences in social development and poverty reduction across countries and subnational areas that cannot be accounted for by growth alone. The book concludes that a more complete strategy needs to consider various institutional factors at the national and subnational levels to achi…
Revisiting growth and poverty reduction in Indonesia
"Indonesia has an impressive record of economic growth and poverty reduction over the past two decades. The growth-poverty nexus appears strong at the aggregate level. Newly constructed panel data on the country's 285 districts (kotamadyas/kabupatens), however, reveal huge differences in poverty changes, subnational economic growth, and local attributes. Results of econometric analysis show that besides growth, other factors directly influence th…
The Rural Road to Poverty Reduction
This paper examines how government policies and institutional arrangements affect rural welfare outcomes. Reviewing the Philippine experience, it shows that inappropriate policies and institutions stifle the response of the rural sector to agricultural growth, with adverse effects on the rural poor and overall economic development. Besides economic growth, policies that foster rural infrastructure, favorable agricultural terms of trade, and agrar…
What is Pro-poor Growth?
This paper attempts to explain the concept of “pro-poor growth”, and argues that it represents a major departure from the “trickle-down” phenomenon. It proposes a new indicator—the pro-poor growth index—that measures the degree to which growth can be considered to be pro-poor. The new indicator is used to analyze the nature of economic growth in three countries, namely, Republic of Korea, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, and Thailand.

The Question of the Brain Drain from the Philippines
This paper attempts to examine the brain drain problem of the Philippines within a simple economic framework. What is the extent of the problem? Why is there such a problem? These are the main questions that will be addressed to. \n \nWe shall argue that the real problem of the Philippines is not so much the brain drain as misdirected training and skills formation, hence the inability of the economy to absorb high-level professional skills. Speci…
