World Bank Working Paper No.118 |
| description |
This paper is focused only on this
objective: the alleviation of regional concentrations of
poverty. There are several reasons. First, judging from the
public documents of multilaterals and governments, poverty
reduction is often the primary objective of regional
development efforts in the ECA region. It is also the
primary objective of the World Bank, the sponsor of this
paper. Second, the environmental and social objectives of
regional development are difficult to analyze through an
economic lens. While some may argue that cities are too big,
others argue that large cities are crucial to economic
growth and merely need to be better managed. By the same
token, the social costs of out-migration are difficult to
weigh against the economic benefits of labor mobility. The
analysis of the tradeoffs between the environmental and
social objectives of regional development on one hand, and
economic objectives of regional development on the other, is
better done on a case-by-case basis than in a regional
survey paper. This report is the first of a series of papers
on regional issues in the ECA region. |
