The Regional Impact of National Policies
Author: Werner Baer
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 0857936700
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
Brazil is a country of continental proportions whose gross domestic product is unevenly distributed among its various regions. The impact of general domestic economic policies has often been perceived as not being regionally neutral, but as reinforcing the geographic concentration of economic activities. This detailed book examines the regional impact of such general policies as: industrialization, agricultural modernization, privatization, stabilization, science and technology, labor, and foreign direct investment. Written by recognized and respected scholars, this book fills a significant gap in the current literature on regional development in Brazil. Researchers and students in economics, economic history, political science and regional studies, and others interested in the economics of transition to a market system will find this comprehensive collection an invaluable resource.

Book Description
The purpose of this report is to review the current federal programs for rural development and water resource use which are being used or could be used to help small farmers in Northeast Brazil. This assessment, interim in nature, is part of the continuing dialogue between the Government of Brazil and the World Bank on poverty alleviation and rural development strategies for the region, and on the nature and extent of the Bank's participation in rural development efforts in the next few years. These programs build on over 90 years of direct federal involvement in the region. The federal government has invested considerable resources and has tried many different strategies to stimulate development of the rural Northeast. Such diverse actions as massive dam-building and large irrigation projects, crop-specific support, promotion of agro-industry, and resettlement projects have been initiated. Initial efforts were based on the belief that the problem could be solved through engineering approaches. Gradually, however, the socio-economic origins of poverty became more widely acknowledged, and the problems of development accepted as more complicated.

Social Fund and Infant Mortality
Author: Álvaro Robério
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Brazilian Northeast is a region characterized by high levels of poverty and inequality. These aspects hinder its prospects of economic development. A possible way to alleviate these problems is to improve the early-life conditions of the poor. In 2000, the Brazilian government launched the Fundos Estaduais de Combate e Erradicação da Pobreza (FECEP), a social fund targeted at meeting the needs of the poor. The goal of this paper is to evaluate the effects of this intervention on poverty, infant mortality, and birth outcomes in the Brazilian Northeast region. Using a difference-in-differences approach robust to heterogenous treatment effects, we find that the program led to a significant reduction in poverty and infant mortality. Taken as a whole, these results provide consistent evidence that financing targeted public investments constitute an effective tool to reduce infant mortality and improve the living standards of vulnerable communities.
