    Industrial parks are as popular as they are controversial, in India and globally. At their best they align infrastructure provision and agglomeration economies to jolt industrial growth. More often, they generate negative spill-overs, provide handouts, sit empty, or simply do not get built. This paper disaggregates how parks are built and how they fail. It contextualizes parks in India, followed by a thick case study of an innovative scheme that appears to buck the trend.

    The accumulation of decent housing matters both because of the difference it makes to living standards and because of its centrality to economic development. The consequences for living standards are far-reaching. In addition to directly conferring utility, decent housing improves health and enables children to do homework. It frees up women's time and enables them to participate in the labor market. More subtly, a home and its environs affect identity and self-respect.

    Most efforts to trace the effects of
    income inequality on growth have focused on redistribution.
    However, empirical investigation has not substantiated
    either the positive association of income inequality with
    redistribution or the negative association of redistribution
    with economic growth. The authors analyze the effects of
    inequality in the broader context of social polarization.
    They argue that social polarization, whether rooted in

    Modern political economy stresses
    "society's polarization" as a determinant of
    development outcomes. Among the most common dorms of social
    conflict are class polarization, and ethnic polarization. A
    middle class consensus is defined as a high share of income
    for the middle class and a low degree of ethnic
    polarization. A middle class consensus distinguishes
    development successes from failures. A theoretical model

    Russia and other countries in the
    commonwealth of independent states that have implemented
    voucher privatization programs have to account for the
    puzzling behavior of insiders manager-owners-who, in
    stripping assets from the firms they own, appear to be
    stealing from one pocket to fill the other. This article
    suggests that asset stripping and the absence of
    restructuring result from interactions between insiders and

    The authors analyze how property rights
    affect the allocation of firms' available resources
    among different types of assets. In particular, they
    investigate empirically for a large number of countries
    whether firms in environments with more secure property
    rights allocate available resources more toward intangible
    assets and consequentially grow faster. The authors find
    that improved asset allocation due to better property rights

    Using panel data from a unique survey of
    public primary schools in Uganda, The authors assess the
    degree of leakage of public funds in education. The survey
    data reveal that on average during 1991-95 schools received
    only 13 percent of the central government's allocation
    for the schools' nonwage expenditures. Most of the
    allocated funds were used by public officials for purposes
    unrelated to education or captured for private gain
