Determinants of Pro-Poor Growth
Analytical Issues and Findings from Country Cases
Michael Grimm, Stephan Klasen and Andy McKay

Description

Pro-poor growth is considered central for achieving sustainable poverty
reduction and the Millennium Development Goals. This volume analyzes
determinants of pro-poor growth in eight countries. It employs advanced
methods and tools for pro-poor growth research, including ex post
analytical tools as well as ex ante simulation methods, highlighting the
strengths and limits of this methodological toolbox. The book places
particular emphasis on the role of regional inequality, price and policy
reforms as well as political economy issues affecting pro-poor growth at
the country level. It also analyzes the impact of agricultural, labour
market policies, macroeconomics and natural resource policies

The chapter entitled, "Romania in Transition: Growth, Jobs and Poverty" was co-authored by CASE experts W.Paczynski, A.Radziwill, A.Sowa, I.Topinska and M.Walewski. It is due to be published in February by Palgrave Macmillan.
