Empirical studies unequivocally show that under-investment in infrastructure limits economic growth. At the same time, numerous other studies have shown that investment in infrastructure can be an effective tool in fighting poverty reduction. In that context, the financing of infrastructure has been a critical element of most economic growth and poverty reduction strategies in developing countries since the start of this millennium. This book provides a comparative analysis of the aggregate and sectoral implications of higher spending on infrastructure in three very different Asian countries: China, Pakistan, and the Philippines. Particular attention is paid to the role of alternative financing mechanisms for increasing public infrastructure investment, namely distortionary and non-distortionary means of financing. The book will be of interest to scholars and policy-makers concerned with economic growth in developing countries.Economic Studies in Inequality, Social Exclusion and Well-Being,2364-107XDevelopment economicsEconomic growthPublic financeDevelopment Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000Economic Growthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W44000Public Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34000Development EconomicsEconomic GrowthPublic EconomicsDevelopment economics.Economic growth.Public finance.Development Economics.Economic Growth.Public Economics.338.9Cockburn Johnedt1085195Cockburn Johnedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDissou Yazidedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDuclos Jean-Yvesedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtTiberti Lucaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtUkMaJRU9910132246103321Infrastructure and Economic Growth in Asia3358292UNINA
