How Did Highly Indebted Poor Countries Become Highly Indebted?
Author: William Russell Easterly
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Amount Of Debt
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
Theoretical models predict that countries with unchanged long-run savings preferences will respond to debt relief by running up new debts or by running down assets. And there are some signs that incremental debt relief over the past two decades has fulfilled those predictions. Debt relief is futile for countries with unchanged long-run savings preferences.

Who Avoids and who Escapes from Poverty During the Transition?
Author: W?odzimierz Okrasa
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Bienestar social - Polonia
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
There is a tendency toward chronic, long-term poverty in Poland. Most at risk: larger households, farm households, and households dependent on social welfare. Least at risk: households of employees or the self-employed, educated households, households headed by pensioners, households that are part of kinship networks, and households with liquid assets, durables, or access to financial resources. Among those who missed out on the benefits of the first phase of economic prosperity, children are overrepresented.

The Effect of the United States' Granting Most Favored Nation Status to Vietnam
Author: Emiko Fukase
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Agribusiness and Markets
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
If the United States grants Vietnam most favored nation status, both countries would benefit. Vietnamese exports to the United States would more than double, and Vietnam would gain substantial welfare benefits from improved market access and increased availability of imports. For the United States, lowering the current high tariff against Vietnam would improve welfare by reducing costly diversion away from Vietnamese products.

The Slippery Slope

Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
During the turbulent years 1976-96, aggregate data for Brazil appear to show only small changes in mean income, inequality, and incidence of poverty -- suggesting little change in the distribution of income. But a small group of urban households -- excluded from formal labor markets and safety nets -- was trapped in indigence. Based on welfare measured in terms of income alone, the poorest part of urban Brazil has experienced two lost decades.
