TAXES AND SUBSIDIES ON DIFFERENT GOODS IN THE URBAN SECTOR 330 $aIn this book Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz and co-author Raaj Sah address one of development's major issues. Most of today's countries face town versus country tensions of increasing severity, including such issues as who should pay how much in taxes, who should get how much in subsidies, and what forms the taxes and subsidies should take. This volume analyses these tensions and issues, taking into account the great diversity of institutions and economicenvironments observed in different developing countries. 606 $aRural development$zDeveloping countries 606 $aRural poor$xTaxation$zDeveloping countries 606 $aIncome distribution$zDeveloping countries 606 $aTaxation$zDeveloping countries 607 $aDeveloping countries$xEconomic policy 607 $aDeveloping countries$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aRural development 615 0$aRural poor$xTaxation 615 0$aIncome distribution 615 0$aTaxation 676 $a338.90091724 700 $aSah$b Raaj Kumar$01540561 701 $aStiglitz$b Joseph E$0303847 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782843103321 996 $aPeasants versus city-dwellers$93792299 997 $aUNINA
