WORLD DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2016 Digital Dividends Digital technologies are spreading rapidly, but digital dividends—the broader benefits of faster growth, more jobs, and better services—are not. If more than 40 percent of adults in East Africa pay their utility bills using a mobile phone, why can’t others around the world do the same? If 8 million entrepreneurs in China—one-third of them women—can use an e-commerce platform to export goods to 120 countries, why can’t entrepreneurs elsewhere achieve the same global reach? And if India can provide unique digital identification to 1 billion people in five years, and thereby reduce corruption by billions of dollars, why can’t other countries replicate its success? Indeed, what’s holding back countries from realizing the profound and transformational effects that digital technologies are supposed to deliver? Two main reasons. First, nearly 60 percent of the world’s population are still offline and can’t participate in the digital economy in any meaningful way. Second, and more important, the benefits of digital technologies can be offset by growing risks. Startups can disrupt incumbents, but not when vested interests and regulatory uncertainty obstruct competition and the entry of new firms. Employment opportunities may be greater, but not when the labor market is polarized. The Internet can be a platform for universal empowerment, but not when it becomes a tool for state control and elite capture.

And when these analog complements to digital investments are absent, the development impact can be disappointing.

MAKING POLITICS WORK FOR DEVELOPMENT Harnessing Transparency and Citizen Engagement By Stuti Khemani, Ernesto Dal Bó, Claudio Ferraz, Frederico Finan, and Corinne Stephenson

Too often, even reform leaders in countries fail to adopt and implement policies that they know are necessary for sustained economic development. They are encumbered by adverse political incentives, running the risk of losing office should they try to do the right thing. When technically sound policies are selected on paper, implementation through the public system can run into perverse norms of behavior among public officials and citizens to extract private benefits from the public sector at the expense of the greater public interest.

POLICY RESEARCH REPORTS

April 2016. 272 pages. Stock no. C210771 (ISBN: 978-1-4648-0771-8). US$35.00

Making Politics Work for Development is about how to make politics work for economic development rather than against it. It focuses on research about two forces—citizens’ political engagement and transparency—that explain and hold the potential to improve political incentives and norms of behavior in the public sector. The research shows that the confluence of transparency and political engagement can be a driving force for countries to transition toward better functioning public sector institutions, starting with their own initial and contextual conditions. To harness the potential of these forces, policy actors should target transparency to nourish the quality of political engagement so that citizens can hold leaders accountable for the public goods needed for development.

STRANDED WEALTH OF NATIONS? Diversifying Assets of Carbon-Intensive Countries Under Uncertainty By Grzegorz Peszko, Dimitri A. Zenghelis, Dominique van der Mensbrugghe, John Ward, Alexander Alexandrovich Golub, John Allen Rogers, Neha Mukhi, and Anne Carolin Schopp

This report analyzes the impacts that carbon-intensive countries may face from possible developments such as international climate policies, trade measures, transformational technology trends, and shifts in consumer preferences that can affect global demand for fossil fuels and the cost of burning them. The report's framework offers new insights into understanding impacts and the most robust and sustainable coping strategies. Key messages include: nn

ountries have different carbon-intensive assets—resources in the ground C and built infrastructure—that vary in their exposure and vulnerability to transformational trends. Climate change adds new momentum to the traditional diversification debates in resource-intensive countries. The best hedging strategies are based on deep diversification not only of outputs and exports but also of the asset base—natural, physical, human, and intangible capital. Countries will use a menu of policies to manage structural transformations including energy, fiscal, and climate policies as well as trade measures. Anticipating or reacting to the climate transition shocks, some carbon-intensive countries may choose to be the early movers and divest quickly, some will choose to be the followers, while others may try the harvesters’ strategies. Each strategy has opportunities and risks.

THE WELFARE OF SYRIAN REFUGEES Evidence From Jordan and Lebanon By Paolo Verme, Chiara Gigliarano, Christina Wieser, Kerren Hedlund, Marc Petzoldt, and Marco Santacroce

The book focuses on the largest refugee crisis since World War II: the Syrian refugee crisis. It exploits a wealth of survey and registry data on Syrian refugees living in Jordan and Lebanon to assess their poverty and vulnerability status, understand the predictors of these statuses, evaluate the performance of existing policies toward refugees, and determine the potential for alternative policies. Findings point to a complex situation. In the absence of humanitarian assistance, poverty is extremely high among refugees. Current policies including cash transfers and food vouchers are effective in reducing poverty but they remain short of providing economic inclusion and self-reliance of refugees. A shift toward economic inclusion and self-reliance would require a different humanitarian and development paradigm, one that focuses on growth policies for areas affected by refugees where the target population is constituted by refugees and hosting populations alike. The Welfare of Syrian Refugees, a joint study by the World Bank Group and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, helps bridge the historical divide between humanitarian and development work by providing practical solutions for assisting refugees in the short, medium and long-term and to prevent the irreversible loss of social and human capital typically associated with prolonged refugee crises.

SHOCK WAVES Managing the Impacts of Climate Change on Poverty By Stephane Hallegatte, Mook Bangalore, Laura Bonzanigo, Marianne Fay, Tamaro Kane, Ulf Narloch, Julie Rozenberg, David Treguer, and Adrien Vogt-Schilb

Ending poverty and stabilizing climate change will be two unprecedented global achievements and two major steps toward sustainable development. But the two objectives cannot be considered in isolation: they need to be jointly tackled through an integrated strategy. This report brings together those two objectives and explores how they can more easily be achieved if considered together. It examines the potential impact of climate change and climate policies on poverty reduction. Shock Waves also provides guidance on how to create a “win-win” situation so that climate change policies contribute to poverty reduction and poverty-reduction policies contribute to climate change mitigation and resilience building. The key finding of the report is that climate change represents a significant obstacle to the sustained eradication of poverty, but future impacts on poverty are determined by policy choices: rapid, inclusive, and climate-informed development can prevent most short-term impacts whereas immediate pro-poor, emissions-reduction policies can drastically limit long-term ones.

POVERTY IN A RISING AFRICA By Kathleen Beegle, Luc Christiaensen, Andrew Dabalen, and Isis Gaddis

Perceptions of Africa have changed dramatically. Viewed as a continent of wars, famines, and entrenched poverty in the late 1990s, there is now a focus on “Africa rising” and an “African 21st century.” Two decades of unprecedented economic growth in Africa should have brought substantial improvements in well-being. Whether or not they did, remains unclear given the poor quality of the data, the nature of the growth process (especially the role of natural resources), conflicts that affect part of the region, and high population growth. Poverty in a Rising Africa documents the data challenges and systematically reviews the evidence on poverty from monetary and nonmonetary perspectives, as well as a focus on dimensions of inequality. Chapter 1 maps out the availability and quality of the data needed to track monetary poverty, reflects on the governance and political processes that underpin the current situation with respect to data production, and describes some approaches to addressing the data gaps. Chapter 2 evaluates the robustness of February 2016. 164 pages. the estimates of poverty in Africa. It concludes that poverty reduction in Africa may be Stock no. C210723 slightly greater than traditional estimates suggest, although even the most optimistic (ISBN: 978-1-4648-0723-7). estimates of poverty reduction imply that more people lived in poverty in 2012 than in US$35.00 1990. A broad-stroke profile of poverty and trends in poverty in the region is presented. Chapter 3 broadens the view of poverty by considering nonmonetary dimensions of well-being, such as education, health, and freedom, using Sen's (1985) capabilities and functioning approach. While progress has been made in a number of these areas, levels remain stubbornly low. Chapter 4 reviews the evidence on inequality in Africa. It looks not only at patterns of monetary inequality in Africa but also other dimensions, including inequality of opportunity, intergenerational mobility in occupation and education, and extreme wealth in Africa.

MEASURING GENDER EQUALITY By Josefina Posadas, Pierella Paci, Zurab Sajaia, and Michael Lokshin

Gender equality is a core development objective in its own right and also smart development policy and business practice. No society can develop sustainably without giving men and women equal power to shape their own lives and contribute to their families, communities, and countries. And yet, critical gender gaps continue to exist in all countries and across multiple dimensions. The gender module of the World Bank’s ADePT software platform produces a comprehensive set of tables and graphs using household surveys to help diagnose and analyze the prevailing gender inequalities at the country level and over time. This book provides a step-by-step guide to the use of the ADePT software and an introduction to its basic economic concepts and econometric methods. The module is organized around the framework proposed by the World Development Report 2012: Gender Equality and Development. It covers gender differences in outcomes in three primary dimensions of gender equality: human capital (or endowments), economic opportunities, and voice and agency. Particular focus is given to the analysis and decomposition techniques that allow for further exploring of gender gaps in economic opportunities.

LEFT BEHIND Chronic Poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean By Renos Vakis, Jamele Rigolini, and Leonardo Lucchetti

Chronic poverty raises perhaps the most complex and difficult challenge for governments around the world. Chronic poverty refers to those people who persistently live in low levels of welfare over long periods, as opposed to vulnerable populations that may get in and out of poverty due to shocks. Within generations, this manifests itself by the weak link between economic growth and income generation capabilities that hinders individuals’ ability to integrate productively in society. Left Behind is motivated by three questions: How many people live in chronic poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean? Who are they? How effective has been the policy toolkit in the region to address chronic poverty?

LATIN AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT FORUM

May 2016. 164 pages. Stock no. C210660 (ISBN: 978-1-4648-0660-5). US$29.95

This volume reviews the evolution of chronic poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean between 2004 and 2012. From an intergenerational perspective, chronic poverty is associated with the long-term structural constraints that persist from one generation to the other, and can be framed as a problem of fairness or equality of opportunity. In addition to its links to the fairness of the social system and the capacity to move out of poverty, the chronicity or persistence of poverty also results from the lack of voice of some population groups and the lack of responsiveness of the political system to their needs. The nature and extent of chronic poverty are therefore multidimensional. Addressing chronic poverty thus requires a multilayer, crosssectoral policy approach that is tailored to specific manifestations of chronic poverty in a given context.

BENCHMARKING THE DETERMINANTS OF ECONOMIC GROWTH IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN By Jorge Thompson Araujo, Markus Brueckner, Mateo Clavijo, Ekaterina Vostroknutova, and Konstantin M. Wacker

During the 2000s, the Latin America and the Caribbean region (LAC) saw a decade of growth and income convergence. Its growth performance was also especially pro-poor. Understanding the factors underlying the region’s growth is critical for policy design going forward. This volume reassesses these engines of growth in light of new data and information. To a large extent, the LAC region benefitted from external conditions and policy decisions in the 2000s. However, with the favorable external conditions coming to a close, the determinants of growth influenced by policy will need to play a bigger role if the region wants to avoid losing its growth momentum. Using dynamic panel data regressions, this volume investigates how aggregate economic, political, and social variables affect per capita GDP growth rates for a large sample of countries.

The research finds that drivers of growth in LAC have shifted over the last decade. Most countries had already brought their macroeconomic house in order throughout the 1990s, facilitating benefits from other sources of growth. This volume carries out a benchmarking exercise that sheds light on where the greatest return on investment could be for LAC countries in terms of broad policy directions. Its empirical findings reveal the potential growth-facilitating role that governments can play in the region.

WORK AND FAMILY Latin American and Caribbean Women in Search of a New Balance By Laura Chioda

Over recent decades, women in Latin America and the Caribbean have increased their labor force participation faster than in any other region of the world. This evolution occurred in the context of more general progress in women’s status. Female enrollment rates have increased at all levels of education, fertility rates have declined, and social norms have shifted toward gender equality. Work and Family sheds light on the complex relationship between stages of economic development and female economic participation. It documents a shift in women’s perceptions whereby work has become a fundamental part of their identity, highlighting the distinction between jobs and careers. These dynamics are made more complex by the acknowledgment that individuals are part of larger economic units—families. As development progresses and the options available to women expand, the need to balance career and family takes greater importance. New tensions emerge, paradoxically made possible by decades of steady gains. Understanding the new challenges women face as they balance work and family is thus crucial for policy.

BREAKING BARRIERS Regional Integration in South Asia By David Gould, Martin Rama, and Ritika D'Souza

South Asia is one of the most dynamic regions in the world, but it is also one of the least integrated. Countries in the region trade with each other to a much lesser extent than countries in other developing areas and foreign direct investment among South Asian countries is dismally low. But the region was not always divided: ancient empires transcended today’s borders, its peoples share a common culture, and large ethnic groups span neighboring countries. Breaking Barriers assesses the gains that would result from greater regional integration in South Asia. It shows that the potential gains from regional electricity trade would be sizeable. Gains from trade liberalization would be substantial too, but in relative terms, they would be more important for the smaller countries in the region. Cooperation in river basin management may not sufficiently stabilize water flows, but better forecasting and preparedness can reduce the human and economic cost of floods and droughts. The tension between potentially large economic gains and a substantial trust deficit sheds light on a possible way forward. The volume calls for seizing every opportunity to make progress across all sectors. It also calls for using bilateral and subregional deals as building blocks for broader agreements. Given the region’s asymmetry, generous leadership by India is essential. But activism by the business communities of all countries and people-to-people exchanges are also critical to breaking the barriers to regional integration in South Asia. JANUARY – JUNE 2016 CATALOG

ABOUT THE DISEASE CONTROL PRIORITIES SERIES Health practitioners and policy makers in low- and middle-income countries confront a pressing need for care. Though funding for global health programs has increased dramatically since the turn of the millennium, competition for funding has increased as well. Setting priorities for resource allocation entails navigating an increasingly complex map of policy and intervention choices. The third edition of Disease Control Priorities aims to meet the critical need for quantitative evidence on the benefits and costs of diverse health interventions. DCP3 expands the scope of assessments presented in the first and second editions. This nine-volume set, organized by health condition, presents systematic economic evaluations, based on newly developed methods of interventions, delivery platforms, and policies. This up-to-date review of the effectiveness of priority health interventions will aid global and country decision makers in program design and resource allocation. To optimize access to quality care, global health programmers require comprehensive evidence of what works, what does not, and how much it will cost. DCP3 contributes an informed perspective for setting global and national health care priorities. For more information on the series, visit www.dcp-3.org.

DISEASE CONTROL PRIORITIES, THIRD EDITION (VOLUME 4) Mental, Neurological, and Substance Use Disorders Edited by Vikram Patel, Daniel Chisholm, Tarun Dua, Ramanan Laxminarayan, and Maria Elena Medina-Mora

Mental, neurological, and substance use disorders are common, highly disabling, and associated with significant premature mortality. The impact of these disorders on the social and economic well-being of individuals, families, and societies is large, growing, and underestimated. Despite this burden, these disorders have been systematically neglected, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, with pitifully small contributions to scaling up cost-effective prevention and treatment. Systematically compiling the substantial existing knowledge to address this inequity is the central goal of this volume. Mental, Neurological, and Substance Use Disorders looks at global and regional estimates for the burden of these disorders, along with the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of interventions and packages of care available in low- and middleincome countries. This evidence base can help policy makers in resource-constrained settings as they prioritize programs and interventions to address these disorders. DISEASE CONTROL PRIORITIES, THIRD EDITION

Cardiovascular, Respiratory, and Related Disorders Edited by Dorairaj Prabhakaran, Thomas Gaziano, Jean-Claude Mbanya, Rachel Nugent, Yangfeng Wu, and Shuchi Anand

Cardio-metabolic conditions are the leading cause of premature morbidity and mortality among adults worldwide. The chronic nature of these conditions imposes a high burden on individuals and societies, and produces substantial challenges for traditional health systems. Volume 5 of Disease Control Priorities, third edition, on Cardiovascular, Respiratory, and Related Disorders provides an overview of the global burden of cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, and endocrine disorders and evaluates trends in both health and economic drivers of disease. Individual chapters look at topics ranging from tobacco prevention, diet and nutrition, weight management, and physical activity to heart failure, diabetes, stroke, and chronic kidney disease. In addition to examining common risk factors and the early origin of these conditions, the volume presents state-of-the-art evidence on interventions for treatment and prevention that are effective, cost-effective, and feasible in low-resource settings. This volume also considers select non-health implications of implementation through an analysis of the effects on financial risk protection and equity of policy measures, as well as priority setting considerations for costly treatment options. Finally, readers will learn about policies and platforms to deliver health services to combat cardiometabolic disorders, including integration and quality care improvement.

EARTH OBSERVATION FOR WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT Current Use and Future Opportunities for the Water Sector Edited by Luis García, Diego Rodríguez, Marcus Wijnen, and Inge Pakulski

Water systems are building blocks for poverty alleviation, shared growth, sustainable development, and green growth strategies. They require data from insitu observation networks. Budgetary and other constraints have taken a toll on their operation and there are many regions in the world where the data are scarce or unreliable. Increasingly, remote sensing satellite-based earth observation is becoming an alternative. This book briefly describes some key global water challenges, perspectives for remote sensing approaches, and their importance for water resources-related activities. It describes eight key types of water resources management variables, a list of sensors that can produce such information, and a description of existing data products with examples.

MAKING GLOBAL VALUE CHAINS WORK FOR DEVELOPMENT By Daria Taglioni and Deborah Winkler

Economic, technological, and political shifts, as well as changing business strategies, have driven firms to unbundle production processes and disperse them across countries. Thanks to these changes, developing countries can now increase their participation in global value chains (GVCs) and thus become more competitive in agriculture, manufacturing and services. This is a paradigm shift from the 20th century when countries had to build the entire supply chain domestically to become competitive internationally. However, participating in global value chains does not automatically improve living standards and social conditions in a country. This requires not only improving the quality and quantity of production factors and redressing market failures, but also engineering equitable distributions of opportunities and outcomes— including employment, wages, work conditions, economic rights, gender equality, economic security, and protecting the environment. TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT

February 2016. 352 pages. Stock no. C210157 (ISBN: 978-1-4648-0157-0). US$39.95

Following this perspective, Making Global Value Chains Work for Development offers a strategic framework, analytical tools, and policy options to address this challenge. The book conceptualizes GVCs and makes it easier for policymakers and practitioners to discuss them and their implications for development. It shows why GVCs require fresh thinking; it serves as a repository of analytical tools, and it proposes a strategic framework to guide policymakers in identifying the key objectives of GVC participation and in selecting suitable economic strategies to achieve them.

COMPETITION FOR SHARED PROSPERITY By Georgiana Pop

Effective competition policy creates well-functioning markets capable of delivering quality goods and services. Such efficient markets are particularly crucial to lowincome households. They allow these households to generate sustainable income growth, and contribute to their welfare as consumers through lower prices and greater access to a larger variety of goods and services. However, market and institutional failures that hinder competitive rivalry between firms can reduce these benefits. Increasingly, efforts are being made to assess the specific sources of these types of failures and their impact on low-income households. The empirical evidence on the direct link between competition, poverty and shared prosperity is still very limited.

TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT

June 2016. 232 pages. Stock no. C210760 (ISBN: 978-1-4648-0760-2). US$35.00

The Global Engagement initiative between the WBG and OECD aims to broaden the evidence base on the welfare and income effects of lack of competition and on potential policy responses to minimize the negative impacts of market distortions. This initiative seeks to expand evidence both in developed and developing economies on the effects of competitive markets and procompetitive reforms on the welfare of low-income citizens. Competition for Shared Prosperity is an outcome of this initiative and aims to respond to the question of how limited competition in sectors where lowincome individuals are more engaged affect shared prosperity – both in terms of the mechanisms of impact and the magnitude of impact.
