| 520 | |a Geographical differences in living standards are a pressing concern for policy makers in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Production is most efficient when concentrated in leading areas. So how can the region reduce spatial disparities in well-being without compromising growth? Poor Places, Thriving People addresses this compelling issue. | ||
| 520 | |a The solution to spatial disparities lies in matching the policy package to a lagging area's specific characteristics. Is the lagging area problem really as serious as one thinks? Is it a problem of low economic opportunity or of poor human development? Are lagging area populations close enough to agglomerations to benefit from spillovers? Is there a realistic chance of private investment? Drawing on the World Bank's 2009 World Development Report: Reshaping Economic Geography, the authors propose three policy packages. | ||
| 520 | |a Poor Places, Thriving People will be of interest to policy makers in government and in international organizations and individuals in research institutions and universities who work in economic policy, regional and rural policy, and social development. --Book Jacket. | ||
