TY - BOOK AU - Acharya, Sanjaya TI - Pro-poor growth and liberalization in developing economies: the case of Nepal SN - 9780415580281 U1 - 338.95496 PY - 2012/// CY - London PB - Routledge KW - Economic development - Nepal KW - Equilibrium (Economics) - Mathematical models KW - Nepal - Economic policy - 21st century N2 - The book presents a number of pragmatic scenarios that bring about the desired pro-poor growth effects in order to demonstrate possible outcomes for policy making. The research findings apply to other economies with similar macroeconomic structure to Nepal; those small economies with a dominant, traditional, and stagnant agriculture; fragile industrial base, weak and volatile external sector, and almost half of the population living below the poverty line. This book will be of considerable interest to students and scholars in the areas of development economics, political economy of policy reforms, and trade and poverty with special emphasis on South Asia.
