oai:localhost:PNK-95432023-10-17T03:58:26Z Infrastructure and Economic Growth in Asia Cockburn, John Economics and Finance Business and Economics License: CC BY-NC Public spending on infrastructure plays an important role in promoting economic growth and poverty alleviation. Empirical studies unequivocally show that under-investment in infrastructure limit economic growth. At the same time, numerous other studies have shown that investment in infrastructure can be a highly effective tool in fighting poverty reduction1. 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. 2023-10-17T03:58:26Z 2023-10-17T03:58:26Z 2013 Book 978-3-319-03137-8 https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-03137-8 https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/9543 en application/pdf Springer Cham |
