Using state-level data for 1970-93, a simultaneous equation model was developed to estimate the direct and indirect effects of different types of government expenditure on rural poverty and productivity growth in India. The results show that in order to reduce rural poverty, the Indian government should give highest priority to additional investments in rural roads and agricultural research. These types of investment not only have much larger poverty impacts per rupee spent than any other government investment, but also generate higher productivity growth. Apart from government spending on education, which has the third largest marginal impact on rural poverty and productivity growth, other investments (including irrigation, soil and water conservation, health, and rural and community development) have only modest impacts on growth and poverty per additional rupee spent.

This book provides a blueprint for the allocation of public expenditures “in” and “for” agriculture at the dis-aggregated state level and suggests a reorientation in favour of disadvantaged regions where the marginal returns on additional investments would be higher. It provides insights into the inter-linkages between public expenditures, private investment, rural poverty, and agriculture productivity from a regional perspective to reflect upon spatial differences in the welfare effects of various investments, subsidies, and policies. The book focuses on agricultural growth and rural poverty reduction through public and private investments, non-farm employment, and other pathways to the formulation of appropriate policies at the dis-aggregated state level. It presents new evidence based on advanced econometric tools for analysing and understanding the relationship between public and private investments in agriculture and input subsidies (fertilizer, power, irrigation, and credit) together with their impacts at the dis-aggregated state level. The book also deliberates on an income based direct support system for farmers as an alternative to the existing input price subsidy regime. Accordingly, the book offers valuable insights not only for researchers working on poverty alleviation, rural economy, and agricultural growth, but also for policymakers.

This thesis brings out the important roles that the public sector finance and reforms play in shaping nations' welfare through providing empirical evidence using new data sets on the links between government spending and inflation, and between fiscal decentralization and development outcomes for the four Asian emerging economies of India, China, Indonesia and Vietnam. Chapter 2 empirically tests the nexus between government spending and inflation for the three countries of India, China and Indonesia utilizing the cointegration and the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) method on time series data for the period 1970-2010. This chapter employs a bivariate VECM of government spending and inflation and, to address potential endogeneity concerns, two trivariate models with real GDP and nominal exchange rate separately added. The results show a cointegrating long-run relationship between government spending and inflation and that, in the short run, government spending can significantly influence the rate of inflation (positively for India and Indonesia while negatively for China). An important policy implication is that governments in the region would need to be more prudent regarding decisions to change government spending, which can potentially result in large fluctuations in inflation. Chapter 3 shifts the focus to fiscal policy matters at sub-national levels. This chapter examines the effects of fiscal decentralization on economic growth at the provincial level in Vietnam, an Asian economy with rapid growth performance resulting from the comprehensive reform, 'Doi Moi', starting in 1986. Using a newly available provincial-level dataset spanning the period 2004-2010, this chapter provides evidence that fiscal decentralization has had a significant and positive impact on provincial economic growth in Vietnam during the period of analysis. The measure of fiscal decentralization adopted captures both the fiscal capacity and autonomy of provinces. The fixed-effect and the Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) models help address the unobserved heterogeneity and potential endogeneity issues. Finally, Chapter 4 further quantitatively investigates the effects of fiscal decentralization on development outcomes. Specifically, the two main hypotheses to be tested in this chapter are whether fiscal decentralization had significant effects on poverty outcome and health outcome at the provincial level in Vietnam during the period 2006-2011. Given the important role of the agriculture sector, the chapter also tests for other hypotheses that are concerned with sectoral growth patterns, the contribution of agricultural growth to poverty reduction, and the urban-rural gap in poverty. The main results suggest that fiscal decentralization had a positive effect on health outcomes but, surprisingly, did not contribute to poverty reduction. Another finding is that agricultural sector has made a significant contribution to poverty reduction in dominantly agricultural provinces. Also, the poorer regions have benefited from agricultural growth more than growth in other sectors. Finally, the chapter does not find significant evidence for the urban-rural gap for poverty in Vietnam. On balance, from a policy maker's perspective, while growth-enhancing effects are encouraging, the potential distributional effects of fiscal decentralization warrant careful considerations of the reform agenda so that the poor and the disadvantaged can share the gains in potential benefits.

Is there a tradeoff between raising growth and reducing inequality and poverty? This paper reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on the complex links between growth, inequality, and poverty, with causation going in both directions. The evidence suggests that growth can be effective in reducing poverty, but its impact on inequality is ambiguous and depends on the underlying sources of growth. The impact of poverty and inequality on growth is likewise ambiguous, as several channels mediate the relationship. But most plausible mechanisms suggest that poverty and inequality reduce growth, at least in the long run. Policies play a role in shaping these relationships and those designed to improve equality of opportunity can simultaneously improve inclusiveness and growth.

Very poor households spend large sums on celebrations. To the extent that these expenditures are central to maintaining the networks essential for social relationships and coping with poverty, these are reasonable expenses. To the extent that they are status competitions, they may merely increase conspicuous consumption.Rao examines the paradox of very poor households spending large sums on celebrations. Using qualitative and quantitative data from South India, Rao demonstrates that spending on weddings and festivals can be explained by integrating an anthropological understanding of how identity is shaped in Indian society with an economic analysis of decisionmaking under conditions of extreme poverty and risk.Rao argues that publicly observable celebrations have two functions: they provide a space for maintaining social reputations and webs of obligation, and they serve as arenas for status-making competitions.The first role is central to maintaining the networks essential for social relationships and coping with poverty. The second is a correlate of mobility that may become more prevalent as incomes rise.Development policies that favor individual over collective action reduce the incentives for the networking function and increase the incentives for status- enhancing functions - thus reducing social cohesion and increasing conspicuous consumption.Market-driven improvements in urban employment, for example, could reduce a family's dependence on its traditional networks, could reduce incentives to maintain these networks, and could reduce social cohesion within a village and thus its capacity for collective action. In contrast, microfinance programs and social funds try to retain and even build a community's capacity for collective action.This paper - a product of Poverty and Human Resources, Development Research Group - is part of a larger effort in the group to study the relationship between poverty and collective action.
