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. 410 0$aEconomic Studies in Inequality, Social Exclusion and Well-Being,$x2364-107X 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconomic growth 606 $aPublic finance 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aEconomic Growth$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W44000 606 $aPublic Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34000 610 $aDevelopment Economics 610 $aEconomic Growth 610 $aPublic Economics 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aEconomic growth. 615 0$aPublic finance. 615 14$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Growth. 615 24$aPublic Economics. 676 $a338.9 700 $aCockburn$b John$4edt$01085195 702 $aCockburn$b John$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDissou$b Yazid$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDuclos$b Jean-Yves$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTiberti$b Luca$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bUkMaJRU 912 $a9910132246103321 996 $aInfrastructure and Economic Growth in Asia$93358292 997 $aUNINA
