Although a high rate of urbanization and a high incidence of rural poverty are two distinct features of many developing countries, there is little knowledge of the effects of the former on the latter. Using a large sample of Indian districts from the 1983–1999 period, we find that urbanization has a substantial and systematic poverty-reducing effect in the surrounding rural areas.

After almost a decade of high-level
effort to bring the charges (tariffs) that farmers pay for
electricity more nearly into line with the costs of supply,
India has barely made a dent in the longstanding and
increasingly uneconomical practice of subsidizing power to
agricultural consumers for irrigation. Progress has been
slowed by the understandable but misplaced concern that
higher tariffs would harm farmers--and that the injured -

The report analyzes poverty incidence in
India and in particular, in Uttar Pradesh (UP), and defines
its poverty levels, trends, and vulnerability. While UP once
appeared positioned to be the pace-setter for India's
economic, and social development in light of its rich
potential in human, and natural resources, economic growth
faltered in the 1990s. UP fell behind India's better
performing states, and, despite a recent acceleration in -

India's transport
system--especially surface transport--is seriously
deficient, and its services are highly inefficient by
international standards. The economic losses from congestion
and poor roads are estimated at 120 to 300 billion rupees a
year. This report takes a critical assessment of the key
policy and institutional issues that continue to contribute
to the poor performance of the transport sector in India. -

the reorganization of the erstwhile State of Bihar by the
Bihar State Reorganization Act, 2000. More than 77 percent

The authors analyze the effects of
building height restrictions, providing a concrete welfare
cost estimate for the city of Bangalore, India. Relying on
several theoretical results, their analysis shows that the
welfare cost imposed on its residents by Bangalore's
building height restriction ranges between 3 and 6 percent
of household consumption. This burden represents a
significant share of individual resources, and its presence -

Decentralized forest management is an
important policy issue in India and elsewhere. Yet there are
few careful studies of the impacts of community forestry.
The authors try to fill this gap by analyzing National
Sample Survey data from 524 villages in five states in
India. Their analysis seeks to answer two key questions: (1)
Who participates in community forestry and what are the
determinants of participation? (2) What is the impact of -

is to assist the Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) in
meeting the challenges mentioned above. To this end, it
provides input into the state's rolling medium-term
fiscal framework exercise. The new Fiscal Responsibility and
Budget Management (FRBM) act requires that the government
will lay out in each financial year a medium-term fiscal
policy statement (together with three-year rolling targets -

Twenty-two of India's 31 states are
regarded as particularly prone to natural disasters: 55% of
its land is vulnerable to earthquake, 8% is vulnerable to
cyclone, and 5% is vulnerable to flood. In light of
India's vulnerability to growing losses due to natural
disasters and escalating fiscal pressures at the central and
state levels, the World Bank undertook a detailed review of
India's catastrophe exposures. The goal of this project
