Skills Training, Corruption and Organisational Capabilities
Skills training programmes are critical for job creation and structural transformation in developing countries. However, they often achieve poor results because of corruption. By looking at evidence of fraud in a group of training providers in Bangladesh, we identify a deeper problem. Many firms have low productivity due to low organisational capabilities and prefer to employ cheaper untrained workers because their production lines do not move fa…
Adaptation of care for non-communicable diseases during the Covid-19 pandemic
People living with non-communicable diseases (PLWNCDs) are at greater risk of severe COVID-19 illness. This case study highlights the adaptations that were made to humanitarian health programmes in five countries to reduce exposure risk for PLWNCDs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Common adaptations included facility-level administrative and engineering controls, improved triaging, change in prescribing practices, decrease in frequency of stable pat…
Win-win
Climate adaptation projects in Bangladesh have been widely affected by high levels of corruption and resource leakage. However, the dual-use characteristics of climate adaptation investments create incentives for influential households to monitor projects in their own interest. We theorize that these households can effectively use informal power and networks to constrain corruption by contractors and officials. Increasing the level of dual-use be…
Absenteeism among doctors in the Bangladesh health system
Despite considerable investment by the Bangladesh government in measures to strengthen accountability and transparency, absenteeism among doctors remains a barrier to the achievement of Universal Health Coverage. Recent innovations in anti-corruption theory point to the importance of acting on the structural drivers of absenteeism and argue for approaches that are better able to take local and national level context into account. In this qualitat…
Incentivising doctor attendance in rural Bangladesh
OBJECTIVE: Doctor absenteeism is widespread in Bangladesh, and the perspectives of the actors involved are insufficiently understood. This paper sought to elicit preferences of doctors over aspects of jobs in rural areas in Bangladesh that can help to inform the development of packages of policy interventions that may persuade them to stay at their posts. METHODS: We conducted a discrete choice experiment with 308 doctors across four hospitals in…
Political settlements and the analysis of institutions
The political settlements framework argues that the distribution of organizational power is important for understanding the economic and political effects of institutions and policies.Institutions and policies describe rules that in turn determine resource allocation, and these can affect different types of organizations in very different ways.Organizations can be expected to support, resist or distort particular institutions or policies dependin…
Digitizing Taxation and Premature Formalization in Developing Countries
The digitization of taxation systems can assist inclusion. However, it can also inadvertently lead to adverse outcomes for the poor in developing countries where many firms in the informal sector have low capabilities. Moreover, larger formal sector firms are often politically networked and in a position to engage in extractive informal transactions that digitization alone cannot restrict. Thus, while digitization creates tools for the enforcemen…

Aid and Governance in Vulnerable States
Bangladesh and Pakistan had very different experiences with aid after 1971. Politics in Pakistan was less inclusive in terms of opportunities for intermediate (middle- and lower-middle-) class political entrepreneurs, and the dominance of military aid to Pakistan exacerbated the problem by allowing the top leadership to continue to rule without sharing much power with these classes. This not only had negative effects on the evolution of Pakistan'…
Governance during Social Transformations
The governance advice that is offered to Africa usually identifies a list of 'good governance' goals like stable property rights, a rule of law, low corruption and government accountability as preconditions for development. These goals are difficult to implement not only because they are expensive public goods but in addition their enforcement is typically at variance with powerful interests in the political settlements of developing countries. T…
Markets, states and democracy
The debate between modernization theory and its opponents is over. Neither evidence nor argument can support the claim that authoritarianism is necessary for economic development. However, is democracy necessary for development, as opposed to obviously being desirable on other grounds? The evidence on how democracy actually operates in developing countries raises important questions about the relationship between markets, states, and democracies.…
Rents, Rent-Seeking and Economic Development
The concepts of rents and rent-seeking are central to any discussion of the processes of economic development. Yet conventional models of rent-seeking are unable to explain how it can drive decades of rapid growth in some countries, and at other times be associated with spectacular economic crises. This book argues that the rent-seeking framework has to be radically extended by incorporating insights developed by political scientists, institution…
Patron—Client Networks and the Economic Effects of Corruption in Asia
A Typology of Corrupt Transactions in Developing Countries
Economic theory has attempted to identify the conditions under which corruption has particularly harmful effects. This article evaluates these theories and argues that the classifications offered are misleading. Very successful interventionist states have suffered from corruption just as much as very unsuccessful ones. Policy responses to corruption require an understanding of the effects of corruption and the determinants of these effects. The f…
