Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the provision of basic social services - in particular, access to education, health and water supplies - as the central building blocks of any human development strategy. The authors concentrate on how these basic social services can be financed and delivered more effectively to achieve the internationally agreed Millennium Development Goals. Their analysis, which departs from the dominant macro-economic paradigm, deploys the results of broad-ranging research they led at UNICEF and UNDP, investigating the record on basic social services of some 30 developing countries. In seeking to learn from these new data, they develop an analytical argument around two potential synergies: at the macro level, between poverty reduction, human development and economic growth, and at the micro level, between interventions to provide basic social services. Policymakers, they argue, can integrate macro-economic and social policy. Fiscal, monetary, and other macro-economic policies can be compatible with social sector requirements. They make the case that policymakers have more flexibility than is usually presented by orthodox writers and international financial institutions, and that if policymakers engaged in alternative macro-economic and growth-oriented policies, this could lead to the expansion of human capabilities and the fulfillment of human rights. This book explores some of these policy options. The book also argues that more than just additional aid is needed. Specific strategic shifts in the areas of aid policy, decentralized governance, health and education policy and the private-public mix in service provision are a prerequisite to achieve the goals of human development. The combination of governance reforms and fiscal and macro-economic policies outlined in this book can eliminate human poverty in the span of a generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, world-renowned contributors, including Martin Ravallion, Michael Kremer and Robert Townsend, deal with the institutional characteristics of poverty resulting from the time pattern of aid, the nature of financial systems and the political economy of budgetary decisions. Going beyond the traditional literature on poverty, this original book deals with themes of broad interest to both scholars and policymakers in a clear yet technically sophisticated manner. Departing from conventional methods employed in poverty studies, these innovative essays enquire into the institutional characteristics of poverty, and using current case studies, they examine the crucial idea that periods of crises seriously affect poverty.

Book excerpt: The paper investigates the existence of "super pro-poor" policies-that is, policies that directly influence the income of the poor after accounting for the effect of growth. It uses a dynamic panel estimator to capture both across- and within-country effects, and a Bayesian-type robustness check to account for model uncertainty. The findings confirm that growth raises the income of the poor, although this relationship is less than one-to-one. The analysis also identifies four super pro-poor conditions that are influenced by policy: inflation, government size, educational achievement, and financial development.

Book excerpt: To reach the "Millennium Development Goal" of halving poverty by 2015 in developing countries requires first and foremost higher economic growth. This can hardly succeed when policies continue to adhere to the traditional neo-liberal strategies of the "Washington Consensus". In this study, different growth and stagnation "regimes" are explored. To enter a growth path, more emphasis has to be put on prudent macroeconomic policies striving for sound money, less external debt, balance of payment equilibrium, containment of dollarisation, more stable exchange rates and on deepening the domestic financial sector. Fostering capital accumulation is more important than perfecting the competitive allocation of resources through pervasive liberalisation. The economic performance of most East and South Asian countries which did not follow the strategy of the "Washington Consensus" contrasts sharply with a stagnation trend in Africa and Latin America in the last decades. Country case studies on China, Vietnam, Belarus and Uganda are presented. The analysis follows a modern Keynesian line of thought.
