WORLD DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2017 Governance and the Law The World Development Report 2017 on governance and the law sheds light on how a better understanding of governance can bring about more effective policy interventions to achieve sustainable improvements in welfare. Many governance reform efforts have focused on transplanting idealized institutional forms, strengthening state capacity, and establishing the rule of law. However, history has shown us that these types of changes in governance do not necessarily lead to improvements in development outcomes in every context, nor are they always feasible to bring about.

The report proposes three key principles for rethinking the relationship between governance and development in order to strengthen reform efforts: think about function not only form, think about power not only capacity, and think about the role of law not only the rule of law.

These principles imply that in order to improve development, reform efforts need to consider nn

The report concludes by exploring the conditions under which these types of changes can be brought about looking at the conditions under which elites may choose to establish limits on their own power, how citizens can overcome collective action problems to support reform, and how international influences can reshape local bargaining dynamics.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC PROSPECTS, JANUARY 2017 Weak Investment in Uncertain Times Stagnant global trade, subdued investment, and heightened policy uncertainty marked another difficult year for the world economy. A subdued recovery is expected for 2017, with receding obstacles to activity in commodity exporters and solid domestic demand in commodity importers.

Weak investment is weighing on medium-term prospects across many emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). Although fiscal stimulus in major economies, if implemented, may boost global growth above expectations, risks to growth forecasts remain tilted to the downside.

Important downside risks stem from heightened policy uncertainty in major economies.

Global Economic Prospects is a World Bank Group flagship report. On a semiannual basis (January and June), it examines global economic developments and prospects, with a special focus on developing countries.

The report includes analysis of topical policy challenges faced by developing countries through in-depth research in the January edition and shorter analytical pieces in the June edition.

POVERTY AND SHARED PROSPERITY 2016 Taking on Inequality Poverty and Shared Prosperity 2016 is the first of an annual flagship report that provides a global audience comprising development practitioners, policy makers, researchers, advocates, and citizens in general with the latest and most accurate estimates on trends in global poverty and shared prosperity.

This edition documents trends in inequality and identifies recent country experiences that have been successful in reducing inequalities, provides key lessons from those experiences, and synthesizes the rigorous evidence on public policies that can shift inequality in a way that bolsters poverty reduction and shared prosperity in a sustainable manner.

Specifically, the report addresses the following questions: nn nn nn nn nn nn

hat is the latest evidence on the levels and evolution of extreme W poverty and shared prosperity?

Which countries and regions have been more successful in terms of progress toward the twin goals and which are lagging behind?

What does the global context of lower economic growth mean for achieving the twin goals?

How can inequality reduction contribute to achieving the twin goals?

What does the evidence show concerning global and between- and within-country inequality trends?

Which interventions and countries have used the most innovative approaches to achieving the twin goals through reductions in inequality?

October 2016. 184 pages. Stock no. C210958 (ISBN: 978-1-4648-0958-3). US$39.95

The report makes four main contributions. First, it presents the most recent numbers on poverty, shared prosperity, and inequality. Second, it stresses the importance of inequality reduction in ending poverty and boosting shared prosperity by 2030 in a context of weaker growth. Third, it highlights the diversity of within-country inequality reduction experiences and synthesizes experiences of successful countries and policies, addressing the roots of inequality without compromising economic growth. In doing so, the report shatters some myths and sharpens our knowledge of what works in reducing inequalities. Finally, it advocates for the need to expand and improve data collection—for example, data availability, comparability, and quality—and rigorous evidence on inequality impacts in order to deliver high-quality poverty and shared prosperity monitoring.

MONITORING GLOBAL POVERTY Report of the Commission on Global Poverty In 2013, the World Bank Group announced two goals that would guide its operations worldwide. First is the eradication of chronic extreme poverty bringing the number of extremely poor people, defined as those living on less than 1.25 purchasing power parity (PPP)–adjusted dollars a day, to less than 3 percent of the world’s population by 2030.The second is the boosting of shared prosperity, defined as promoting the growth of per capita real income of the poorest 40 percent of the population in each country.

In 2015, United Nations member nations agreed in New York to a set of post2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the first and foremost of which is the eradication of extreme poverty everywhere, in all its forms. Both the language and the spirit of the SDG objective reflect the growing acceptance of the idea that poverty is a multidimensional concept that reflects multiple deprivations in various aspects of well-being. That said, there is much less agreement on the best ways in which those deprivations should be measured, and on whether or how information on them should be aggregated.

Monitoring Global Poverty: Report of the Commission on Global Poverty advises the World Bank on the measurement and monitoring of global poverty in two areas: nn nn

hat should be the interpretation of the definition of extreme poverty, set in 2015 in PPP-adjusted dollars a day W per person?

What choices should the Bank make regarding complementary monetary and nonmonetary poverty measures to be tracked and made available to policy makers?

The World Bank plays an important role in shaping the global debate on combating poverty, and the indicators and data that the Bank collates and makes available shape opinion and actual policies in client countries, and, to a certain extent, in all countries. How we answer the aforementioned questions can therefore have a major influence on the global economy.

These areas are included in the distance to frontier score and ease of doing business ranking. Doing Business also measures features of labor market regulation, which is not included in these two measures.

This year's report introduces major improvements by expanding the paying taxes indicators to cover postfiling processes—tax audits, tax refunds October 2016. 352 pages. Stock no.

DOING BUSINESS

Using the data originally developed by Women, Business and the Law, this year for the first time Doing Business adds a gender component to three indicators—starting a business, registering property, and enforcing contracts—and finds that those economies which limit women's access in these areas have fewer women working in the private sector both as employers and employees.

The report updates all indicators as of June 1, 2016, ranks economies on their overall 'ease of doing business', and analyzes reforms to business regulation – identifying which economies are strengthening their business environment the most.

Doing Business illustrates how reforms in business regulations are being used to analyze economic outcomes for domestic entrepreneurs and for the wider economy. It is a flagship product produced in partnership by the World Bank Group that garners worldwide attention on regulatory barriers to entrepreneurship. More than 137 economies have used the Doing Business indicators to shape reform agendas and monitor improvements on the ground. In addition, the Doing Business data has generated 2,182 articles in peer-reviewed academic journals since its inception.

GLOBAL REPORT ON ISLAMIC FINANCE 2016 A Catalyst for Shared Prosperity?

Income inequality has increased considerably in the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2007–08 to the extent that one percent of global population possess almost half of the global assets. Whereas the development community is unanimous to tackle growing inequality and imbalance in the distribution of wealth, there is a difference of opinion as to the approaches to achieve this goal. This report presents a perspective from Islamic finance on how shared prosperity can be enhanced.

The theoretical framework for economic development by Islamic economics and finance is based on four fundamental pillars: nn nn nn nn

n institutional framework and public policy oriented to the a development objectives of Islam; prudent governance and accountable leadership; promotion of the economic and financial system based on risk sharing; and financial and social inclusion for all, promoting development, growth, and shared prosperity.

There is evidence that Islamic finance is experiencing high growth with the January 2017. 208 pages. Stock no. C210926 banking sector leading the way. Several countries are working seriously (ISBN: 978-1-4648-0926-2). US$39.95 towards developing standards, regulation and legal frameworks for the development of Islamic finance. However, there are a number of aspects where policy interventions or improvements in policy effectiveness are needed to develop Islamic finance to promote shared prosperity. Without the enabling environment, Islamic finance may not be able to attain the potential expected of it.

With adequate policy interventions and enabling financial infrastructure, Islamic finance could become a catalyst for alleviating poverty and inclusive prosperity. The key findings of the report include a need for sound regulatory framework for Islamic financial institutions due to the obvious differences from the conventional banks, harmonizing of Shariah standards and more discourse related to the underlying mechanism of Islamic financial products. Islamic capital markets both equity and Sukuk (Islamic bonds) are vital for the development of Islamic financial markets. Finally, instruments of Islamic social finance and redistribution could contribute further to enhance the shared prosperity.

REAPING DIGITAL DIVIDENDS Leveraging the Internet for Development in Europe and Central Asia

By Hernan Winkler, Tim Kelly, Aleksandra Liaplina, and Shawn Tan

From East to West, the economies of Europe and Central Asia (ECA) are not taking full advantage of the internet to foster economic growth and job creation. The residents of Central Asia and the South Caucasus pay some of the highest prices in the world for internet connections that are slow and unreliable. In contrast, Europe enjoys some of the world’s fastest and affordable internet services. However, its firms and individuals are not fully exploiting the internet to achieve higher productivity growth as well as more and better jobs. Reaping Digital Dividends investigates the barriers that are holding back the broader adoption of the Internet in ECA.

EUROPE AND CENTRAL ASIA STUDIES

February 2017. 184 pages.

Stock no. C211025 (ISBN: 978-1-4648-1025-1).

US$39.95

The report identifies the main bottlenecks and provides policy recommendations tailored to economies at varying levels of digital development. It concludes that policies to increase internet access are necessary but not sufficient. Policies to foster competition, international trade and skills supply, as well as adapting regulations to the changing business environment and labor markets, will also be necessary. In other words, Reaping Digital Dividends not only requires better connectivity, but also complementary factors that allow governments, firms and individuals to make the most out of it.

RISKS AND RETURNS Managing Financial Trade-Offs for Inclusive Growth in Europe and Central Asia

By David Michael Gould, and Martin Melecky

During the 1990s, Emerging Europe and Central Asia (ECA) opted for a model of rapid financial development focused on bank credit expansion often funded by foreign capital. This model helped boost the financial inclusion of firms and households, but was also accompanied by lower financial efficiency and increased vulnerability to banking crises.

The need for financial sector reforms has become more urgent as stagnating income growth, particularly of middle- to lower-income earners, is leading to increased dissatisfaction with the status quo of low productivity growth and limited access to opportunities. This demand for change can be the impetus for rebalancing financial policies to support higher and more inclusive growth. A healthy and balanced financial sector is needed to support structural adjustment in the oil dependent economies of the eastern side ECA and greater innovation in the countries of the western part of ECA. EUROPE AND CENTRAL ASIA STUDIES

This report argues that financial development must reach beyond increasing access to credit. ECA countries should strive to build balanced financial systems integrating both bank and non-bank markets, enabling prudent financial inclusion. Most importantly, ECA falls significantly behind other world regions in the use of saving products. Striking the right balance across all dimensions of financial development (stability, efficiency, inclusion, and overall depth) is crucial for achieving and sustaining inclusive growth.

SOUTH ASIA'S TURN Policies to Boost Competitiveness and Create the Next Export Powerhouse

By Gladys Lopez-Acevedo, Denis Medvedev, and Vincent Palmade

South Asia has a huge need to create more and better jobs for a growing population– especially in the manufacturing industries where it is underperforming as compared to East Asia. The report examines three critical and relatively understudied drivers of competitiveness: nn nn

nn

Economies of agglomeration: firms and workers accrue benefits from locating close together in cities or clusters through urbanization and localization.

Participation in global value chains: stronger competitive pressures weed out least productive firms while others improve by gaining access to new knowledge and better inputs.

Firm capabilities: to operate close to what would be considered optimum efficiency levels given the prevailing factor prices and thus employ South Asia’s abundant labor.

The report shows that South Asia has great untapped competitiveness potential.

Realizing this potential would require the governments in the region to pursue second generation trade policy reforms for firms to better contribute to and benefit from global value chains (e.g. facilitating imports for exporters), to facilitate the development of industrial clusters in secondary cities (cheaper and less congested than the metros) as well as to deploy policies to improve the capabilities of firms.

BETTER NEIGHBORS Toward a Renewal of Economic Integration in Latin America

By Chad P. Bown, Daniel Lederman, Samuel Pienknagura, and Raymond Robertson

This book proposes a renewal of 'Open Regionalism' in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) aimed at achieving the region's goals of high growth with stability.

The LAC region experienced a growth spurt with equity during the first decade of the 21st Century. It is well understood that an unsustainable demand boom fueled by terms-of-trade improvements drove this growth acceleration episode, especially in South America. Unfortunately, terms of trade are no longer fueling growth, and the region’s policymakers are in search of new sources of growth with stability. With the experience of East Asia and the Pacific in mind, many policymakers in LAC are looking to international economic ties as a potential source of stable growth.

The challenge highlighted in this book lies in designing an integration agenda comprising trade and factor market integration that is conducive to region-wide efficiency gains, which can help LAC enhance its global competitiveness. The forces of geography imply that pro-growth global integration cannot be achieved without building a strong neighborhood. Thus, this volume argues that LAC's regional economic integration agenda needs to go well beyond the current spaghetti bowl of preferential trading arrangements.

DISEASE CONTROL PRIORITIES, THIRD EDITION (VOLUME 5) Cardiovascular, Respiratory, and Related Disorders Edited by Dorairaj Prabhakaran, Thomas Gaziano, Jean-Claude Mbanya, Yangfeng Wu, Shuchi Anand, and Rachel Nugent

Cardiovascular, respiratory, and related conditions cause more than 40 percent of all deaths globally, and their substantial burden is rising, particularly in low- and middleincome countries (LMICs). Their burden extends well beyond health effects to include significant economic and societal consequences. Most of these conditions are related, share risk factors, and have common control measures at the clinical, population, and policy levels. Lives can be extended and improved when these diseases are prevented, detected, and managed.

This volume summarizes current knowledge and presents evidence-based interventions that are effective, cost-effective, and scalable in LMICs. Also available in hardback edition:

Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally, particularly among children and young adults. The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases.

Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective packages of interventions and strategies across delivery platforms to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, malaria, adult febrile illness, viral hepatitis, and neglected tropical diseases.

The volume emphasizes the need to effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health systems, and increase access to care. The attainable goals are to reduce incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in resource-constrained settings.

DISEASE CONTROL PRIORITIES, THIRD EDITION (VOLUME 7) Injury Prevention and Environmental Health Edited by Charles N. Mock, Olive Kobusingye, Rachel Nugent, and Kirk R. Smith

The substantial burden of death and disability that results from interpersonal violence, road traffic injuries, unintentional injuries, occupational health risks, air pollution, climate change, and inadequate water and sanitation falls disproportionally on low- and middle-income countries. Injury Prevention and Environmental Health addresses the risk factors and presents updated data on the burden, as well as economic analyses of platforms and packages for delivering cost-effective and feasible interventions in these settings.

The volume’s contributors demonstrate that implementation of a range of prevention strategies—presented in an essential package of interventions and policies—could achieve a convergence in death and disability rates that would avert more than 7.5 million deaths a year.

Child and Adolescent Health and Development explores the benefits that accrue from sustained and targeted interventions across the first two decades of life.

The volume outlines the investment case for effective, costed, and scalable interventions for low-resource settings, emphasizing the cross-sectoral role of education. This evidence base can guide policy makers in prioritizing actions to promote survival, health, cognition, and physical growth throughout childhood and adolescence.

LIVES, LIVELIHOODS, AND LOCAL IMPACTS Syrian Refugees and their Hosts in Jordan, Lebanon, and Kurdish Region of Iraq This report uses original data from households in three territories hosting the bulk of Syrian refugees—Jordan, Lebanon, and Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI)—to understand the socioeconomic characteristics and living conditions of refugees and host communities and measure their impact on service provision, prices, and labor market outcomes. The survey in Kurdistan includes Iraqis displaced within their own border due to ongoing violence. This is the first comparable and comparative analysis of forced displacement across countries with differing policy regimes towards refugees.

The report presents evidence on two important dimensions. First, it finds that despite the encampment policy in Jordan and KRI, many refugees live in urban clusters outside the camps. Second, irrespective of the policy governing the right to work, a large number of refugees are looking for work and are working wherever they can. These findings have significant policy implications.

FORCIBLY DISPLACED Toward a Development Approach Supporting Refugees, the Internally Displaced, and Their Hosts

By Xavier Devictor

One global issue at the forefront of World Bank Group work this year and beyond is the forced displacement of people and its impact on ending extreme poverty. This report, prepared by The World Bank Group and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), looks closely at the complex realities and lives of forcibly displaced people around the world, with the aim of providing a better characterization of the crisis. The report seeks to clarify the meaning of terms like refugees, migrants, forcibly displaced persons, and internally displaced persons and aims to present a measured, evidence-based, proportional tone to the discourse surrounding the crisis.

Not just a humanitarian issue, forced displacement is emerging as an important development challenge, and the development approach to providing support to it is multifold.

UNBREAKABLE Building the Resilience of the Poor in the Face of Natural Disasters

By Stephane Hallegatte, Adrien Vogt-Schilb, Mook Bangalore, and Julie Rozenberg

"Economic losses from natural disasters totaled $92 billion in 2015." Such statements, all too commonplace, assess the severity of disasters by no other measure than the damage inflicted on buildings, infrastructure, and agricultural production. But $1 in losses does not mean the same thing to a rich person that it does to a poor person; the gravity of a $92 billion loss depends on who experiences it. By focusing on aggregate losses—the traditional approach to disaster risk—we restrict our consideration to how disasters affect those wealthy enough to have assets to lose in the first place, and largely ignore the plight ofpoor people.

This report moves beyond asset and production losses and shifts its attention to how natural disasters affect people’s well-being. Disasters are far greater threats to wellbeing than traditional estimates suggest. This approach provides a more nuanced view of natural disasters than usual reporting, and a perspective that takes fuller account of poor people’s vulnerabilities.

As climate change magnifies natural hazards, and because protection infrastructure alone cannot eliminate risk, a more resilient population has never been more critical to breaking the cycle of disaster-induced poverty.

INNOVATIVE EXPERIENCES IN ACCESS TO FINANCE Market-Friendly Roles for the Visible Hand?

By Augusto de la Torre, Juan Carlos Gozzi, and Sergio L. Schumukler

Interest in access to finance and awareness of its importance have increased significantly since the early 2000s. Growing evidence suggests that lack of access to credit prevents many households and firms from financing high-return investment projects, which has an adverse effect on growth and poverty alleviation. Despite the increasing awareness of the importance of access to finance among both researchers and policymakers, there are still some major gaps in our understanding of the main drivers of access, as well as about the impact of different policies in this area.

Stock no. C17080 (ISBN: 978-0-8213-7080-3). US$30

This book aims to fill some of these gaps by discussing recent innovative experiences in broadening access to credit in Latin America. These experiences are consistent with an emerging new view that, while recognizing the central role of the public sector in improving the contractual and informational environment for financial markets, contends that there might be room for well-designed, restricted interventions in collaboration with the private sector to foster the development of financial markets and broaden access to them. The book analyzes some interesting experiences from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico, most of which have led to financial innovation by developing new financial products and coordinating different players in the financial and real sectors to overcome barriers to access to credit.

The book provides an analytical framework to understand problems of access to finance and a discussion of the effects and optimal design of public interventions. It also discusses some open policy questions about the role of the private and public sectors in broadening access to finance in a sustainable and market-friendly manner.

CASHING IN ON EDUCATION Women, Childcare, and Prosperity in Latin America and the Caribbean

By Mercedes Mateo DĂ­az, and Lourdes Rodriguez-Chamussy

Investments in education across countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have transformed the lives of millions of girls and the prospects of their families and societies. Unleashing the full economic potential of women is nevertheless still a curtailed issue in the region: just about half of women are unable to participate in paid work. The majority of the population out of the labor market is women between the ages of 24 and 45 years. This is the largest share of the available pool of unused human capital countries have, and where mothers of young children are concentrated.

This book argues that more and better childcare constitutes a fundamental policy option to improve female outcomes in the labor market, but countries need to pay particular attention to the design and features of such services. First-rate educational programs will be useless if children are not enrolled or do not attend formal education centers.

STOP THE VIOLENCE IN LATIN AMERICA A Look at Prevention from Cradle to Adulthood

By Laura Chioda

The Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region has the undesirable distinction of being the world’s most violent region, with 24.7 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. The magnitude of the problem is staggering and persistent. Of the top 50 most violent cities in the world, 42 are in LAC. In 2010 alone, 142,302 people in LAC fell victim to homicide, representing 4.06 homicides every 15 minutes. Crime disproportionately affects young men aged 20 to 24, whose homicide rate of 92 per 100,000 nearly quadruples that of the region.

The focus of this report is to identify policy interventions that have been shown to affect antisocial behavior early in life and patterns of criminal offending in youth and adults.

Particular attention is devoted to recent studies that rigorously establish a causal link between the interventions in question and outcomes.

This publication adopts a lifecycle perspective and argues that as individuals progress through different stages of the lifecycle, not only do different sets of risk factors arise and take more prominence, but their interactions and interdependencies shape human behavior. These interactions and the relative importance of different sets of risk factors identify relevant margins that can effectively be targeted by prevention policies, not only early in life, but throughout the lifecycle. Indeed prevention can never start too early, nor start too late, nor be too comprehensive.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WITH LIMITED SUPPLIES OF LABOR Common Challenges, Common Solutions for Small Economies

By Daniel Lederman, and Justin Lesniak

In the 1960s, economic development was thought to be shaped by unlimited supplies of labor. Unlimited labor supply implies that wages would remain stagnant even when economies grow. In the 21st Century, the evidence is clear: the correlation between changes in wages and changes in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is high and close to one across economies of various sizes. This report argues that the size of an economy’s labor force does condition development. It studies the challenges of small economies by systematically analyzing correlates of labor-force size.

The export structures of small economies are concentrated in a few products or services and in a small number of export destinations. Export concentration is associated with terms of trade volatility, which combined with high exposure to international trade, implies that domestic economies also tend to be volatile as external volatility permeates national economic life.

WAGE INEQUALITY IN LATIN AMERICA Understanding the Past to Prepare for the Future

By Joana Silva, and Julian Messina

This report seeks to explain the over-time trends in wage inequality in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) since the mid-1990s. It explains how wage inequality has been associated with household-income inequality in LAC in the past decades, and discusses how labor-supply and labor-demand trends have affected wage inequality.

The Latin American region achieved something truly remarkable during the 2000s: it sustained vigorous economic growth with declining inequality. Other regions in the world grew strongly during this period, but this growth was not shared equitably.

However, lower commodity prices and slower growth in China have reduced Latin America’s growth prospects in recent years. At the same time, inequality reduction has halted in many countries. As the new low-growth scenario hits labor markets, it is important to ask whether the social gains of the 2000s can be sustained. Will lower wage growth occur across all segments of the wage distribution in Latin America, or will the slowdown disproportionately hurt those who have less? Will the economic June 2017. Stock no.

REAPING RICHER RETURNS Public Spending Priorities for African Agriculture Productivity Growth

By Aparajita Goyal, and John Nash

Experience has shown that governments’ choices on spending of public resources makes a great deal of difference in agricultural sector development. Agricultural public spending in Africa not only lags behind other developing regions, its impact is also vitiated by misinvestment such as subsidies and transfers that tend to benefit the better off, with insignificant gains for the poor. Shortcomings of the budgeting process also reduce spending effectiveness. African governments and regional institutions have recognized the importance of enhancing the quantity and quality of spending in the sector, and are working hard to assist countries in meeting these objectives. This volume is intended to support these efforts, and is the first to pull together evidence on spending policy in such a comprehensive manner.

AFRICA'S CITIES Opening Doors to the World

By Somik V. Lall, J. Vernon Henderson, and Anthony J. Venables

Cities in Sub-Saharan Africa are experiencing rapid population growth. Yet their economic growth has not kept pace. Why? One factor might be low capital investment, due in part to Africa’s relative poverty. Other regions have reached similar stages of urbanization at higher per capita GDP. This study, however, identifies a deeper reason: African cities are closed to the world. Compared with other developing cities, cities in Africa produce few goods and services for trade on regional and international markets.

To grow economically as they are growing in size, Africa’s cities must open their doors to the world. They need to specialize in manufacturing, along with other regionally and globally tradable goods and services. And to attract global investment in tradables production, cities must develop scale economies, which are associated with successful urban economic development in other regions.

Such scale economies can arise in Africa if city and country leaders make concerted February 2017. 168 pages. efforts to bring agglomeration effects to urban areas. Today, potential urban investors Stock no. C211044 look at Africa and see crowded, disconnected, and costly cities which inspire low (ISBN: 978-1-4648-1044-2). expectations for the scale of urban production and for returns on invested capital.

US$35.00 How can these cities become economically dense—not merely crowded? How can they acquire efficient connections and draw firms and skilled workers with a more affordable, livable urban environment?

From a policy standpoint, the answer must be to address the structural problems affecting African cities. Foremost among these problems are institutional and regulatory constraints that misallocate land and labor, fragment physical development, and limit productivity. As long as African cities lack functioning land markets and regulations and early, coordinated infrastructure investments, they will remain local cities: closed to regional and global markets, trapped into producing only locally traded goods and services, and limited in their economic growth.

MINING IN AFRICA Are Local Communities Better Off?

By Punam Chuhan-Pole, Andrew L. Dabalen, and Bryan Christopher Land

This study focuses on the local and regional impact of large-scale gold mining in Africa in the context of a mineral boom in the region since 2000. It contributes to filling a gap in the literature on the welfare effects of mineral resources, which, until now, has concentrated more on the national or macroeconomic impacts. Economists have long been intrigued by the paradox that a rich endowment of natural resources may retard economic performance, particularly in the case of mineral-exporting developing countries. Studies of this phenomenon, known as the "resource curse," examine the economy-wide consequences of mineral exports.

Africa's resource boom has lifted growth, but has been less successful in improving people’s welfare. Yet much of the focus in academic and policy circles has been on appropriate management of the macro-fiscal and governance risks that have historically undermined development outcomes. This study focuses instead on the fortune of local communities where resources are located. It aims to better inform public policy and corporate behavior on the welfare of communities in Africa in which the extraction of resources takes place.

Productivity growth, in turn, will benefit from measures to enhance the competitiveness of domestic enterprises, scale up the benefits of urban agglomeration, and build national technological and innovative capacity. Maintaining the record on equity and social inclusion will require lifting marginalized groups and delivering services to an aging and urbanizing middle-class society. And to fulfill the country’s aspirations, the institutions of governance will need to become modern, transparent, and fully rooted in the rule of law.

ICT IN AGRICULTURE Connecting Smallholders to Knowledge, Networks, and Institutions Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have always mattered in agriculture. Ever since people have grown crops, raised livestock, and caught fish, they have sought information from one another. What is the most effective planting strategy on steep slopes? Where can I buy the improved seed or feed this year? How can I acquire a land title? Who is paying the highest price at the market? How can I participate in the government’s credit program? Producers rarely find it easy to obtain answers to such questions, even if similar ones arise season after season. Farmers in a village may have planted the “same” crop for centuries, but over time, weather patterns and soil conditions change and epidemics of pests and diseases come and go. Updated information allows the farmers to cope with and even benefit from these changes.

Providing such knowledge can be challenging, however, because the highly localized nature of agriculture means that information must be tailored specifically to distinct conditions.

MEASURING GENDER EQUALITY Streamlined Analysis with ADePT Software

By Josefina Posadas, Pierella Paci, Zurab Sajaia, and Michael Lokshin

Gender equality is a core development objective in its own right and also smart development policy and business practice. No society can develop sustainably without giving men and women equal power to shape their own lives and contribute to their families, communities, and countries. And yet, critical gender gaps continue to exist in all countries and across multiple dimensions.

The gender module of the World Bank’s ADePT software platform produces a comprehensive set of tables and graphs using household surveys to help diagnose and analyze the prevailing gender inequalities at the country level and over time. This book provides a step-by-step guide to the use of the ADePT software and an introduction to its basic economic concepts and econometric methods.

The module is organized around the framework proposed by the World Development Report 2012: Gender Equality and Development. It covers gender differences in outcomes in three primary dimensions of gender equality: human capital (or endowments), economic opportunities, and voice and agency. Particular focus is given to the analysis and decomposition techniques that allow for further exploring of gender gaps in economic opportunities.

A STEP AHEAD Competition Policy For Shared Prosperity and Inclusive Growth Edited by Martha Martinez Licetti, Georgiana Pop, and Tania Priscilla Begazo Gomez

Sustainable economic development has played a major role in the decline of global poverty in the last two decades. There is no doubt that competitive markets are key drivers of economic growth and productivity. They are also valuable channels for consumer welfare. Competition policy is a powerful tool for complementing efforts to alleviate poverty and bring about shared prosperity. An effective competition policy involves measures that enable contestability and firm entry and rivalry while ensuring the enforcement of antitrust laws and state aid control. Governments from emerging and developing economies are increasingly requesting pragmatic solutions for effective competition policy implementation and recommendations for pro-competitive sectoral policies.

This book puts forward a research agenda that advocates the importance of market competition, effective market regulation, and competition policies for achieving inclusive growth and shared prosperity in emerging and developing economies.

GETTING THE FULL PICTURE ON PUBLIC OFFICIALS A How-to Guide for Effective Financial Disclosure

By Ivana Maria Rossi, Laura Pop, and Tammar Berger

Financial disclosure systems are a vital component of transparency. By now 161 countries around the world have introduced financial disclosure systems, becoming commonplace around the world. But, although the rules are on the books, many practitioners are still struggling with the intricacies of the rules and how to implement them in the socioeconomic, historical, and legal context of their own country. Little guidance is available to assist them. This book aims to fill that void and provide practitioners with practical scenarios to consider before deciding on a particular course of action.

This book contains short chapters that elaborate each topic and provide clear guidance on the issues that policy makers and those involved in the implementation of financial disclosure obligations will need to take into account before making a decision. How do you decide who should file? And how often? On-line or in hard copy? And what exactly?

Everything they own directly—or also those apartments they own indirectly? How should information in declarations be checked? Should it be shared with public? How accessible should it be? This is the sort of practical guidance that this book aims to provide.

This report deepens the understanding of the impacts that carbon-intensive countries may face from uncertain but possible developments such as international climate policies, trade measures, transformational technology trends, and shifts in consumer preferences that can affect global demand for fossil fuels and the cost of burning them.

The report's methodological framework combines qualitative and quantitative analysis, offering new insights into understanding impacts and the most robust and sustainable coping strategies. Its key messages include the following: ountries have different carbon-intensive assets—resources in the ground C and built infrastructure—that vary in their exposure and vulnerability to CLIMATE CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT transformational trends.

Each strategy has opportunities and risks. nn

THE CHANGING WEALTH OF NATIONS 2017

By Glenn-Marie Lange, and Kevin Carey

National income is underpinned by a country’s wealth--measured comprehensively to include all assets, produced capital, human capital, natural capital and net financial assets--and sustained economic growth over the long term requires investment in this broad portfolio of assets. Measuring national wealth and changes in wealth is part of an on-going effort by the World Bank to monitor long-term economic well-being of nations. The Changing Wealth of Nations 2017 provides updated wealth accounts (1995-2014) for roughly 150 countries to support monitoring of sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction, and provide guidance for using wealth accounts in policy analysis.
