    This paper provides evidence consistent with elite capture of Social Fund investment projects in Ecuador. Exploiting a unique combination of data-sets on village-level income distributions, Social Fund project administration, and province level electoral results, the authors test a simple model of project choice when local political power is unequally distributed. In accordance with the predictions of the model, poorer villages are more likely to receive projects that provide excludable (private) goods to the poor, such as latrines.

    Guyana

    Since independence in 1966,
    Guyana's economy has gone through a state control of
    major productive sectors, and financial institutions -
    including controls of prices, credit, and foreign exchange -
    to a combination of political/social unrest, with terms of
    trade deterioration, and slow economic growth. This led
    Guyana to become the fourth poorest country in the Western
    Hemisphere, despite its rich endowment in mineral resources,

    Amérique latine et Caraïbes

    The provision of public goods and the amelioration of market failure are the classical justifications for government intervention in the economy. In reality, (1) governments intervene in markets that are not affected by failure, and (2) a large share of the government resources is spent in private goods, not in public goods. In contrast to issue 1, issue 2 has received little attention in the literature, in spite of the potentially large efficiency and equity losses arising from misguided allocations of public expenditures.

    Nicaragua

    This document presents the main
    governance indicators for the country, as compiled by the
    World Bank Institute (WBI), and how are they used by
    international institutions in making decisions about
    assistance to Nicaragua. Although these indicators have
    weaknesses, they can provide a general indication of what
    are the priority areas for investigation. Accordingly, the
    present review concentrates on a few key areas where the

    This paper uses two recently completed
    surveys of individual entrepreneurs (farmers and
    microentrepreneurs) and registered enterprises (agricultural
    and nonagricultural) operating in Mexico s rural sector to
    provide new evidence about the factors influencing the

    Panama

    Panama's economic growth has been at the
    top of the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region in

    challenges, with its commitment to maintaining an open and
    diversified economy and redressing social imbalances.
    Looking ahead, the country s main challenges are to maintain
