Book Description
World Bank Discussion Paper No. 277. This study examines the structure and trends of energy demand in China, India, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, and Thailand. Chapters focus on energy efficiency and conservation in the industrial, transportation, household, and electric power sectors. Quantitative analysis is used to estimate key income, price elasticities, and energy demand for the next 10 to 12 years. The report evaluates possible energy conservation efforts. The authors provide a brief description of those countries' energy reserves, energy trade and production, and energy consumption by sector. They also make frequent reference to the ways in which Japan has succeeded in improving energy conservation in the various sectors.

Book Description
This book provides insights into infrastructure sector performance by focusing on the links between key indicators for utilities, and changes in ownership, regulatory agency governance, and corporate governance, among other dimensions. By linking inputs and outputs over the last 15 years, the analysis is able to uncover key determinants that have impacted performance and address why the effects of such dimensions resulted in significant changes in the performance of infrastructure service provision.

Slum Upgrading and Participation
Author: Ivo Imparato
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 9780821353707
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 520
Book Description
The UN currently estimates that there are about 837 million urban slum dwellers worldwide, and this figure is likely to rise to 1.5 billion by 2020 if current trends are not reversed. This book offers five geographically and institutionally diverse case studies from Latin America, where some of the longest-running and most successful programmes in this field have been conducted. These programmes, involving a wide variety of funding arrangements and agencies, demonstrate the positive impact that community participation and people-oriented service solutions can have on slum upgrading efforts in low income urban areas.

The Impact of Private Sector Participation in Infrastructure
Author: Luis A. Andres
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821374109
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
Infrastructure plays a key role in fostering growth and productivity and has been linked to improved earnings, health, and education levels for the poor. Yet Latin America and the Caribbean are currently faced with a dangerous combination of relatively low public and private infrastructure investment. Those investment levels must increase, and it can be done. If Latin American and Caribbean governments are to increase infrastructure investment in politically feasible ways, it is critical that they learn from experience and have an accurate idea of future impacts. This book contributes to this aim by producing what is arguably the most comprehensive privatization impact analysis in the region to date, drawing on an extremely comprehensive dataset.

Private Sector Participation in Water Infrastructure

ISBN: 1843392712
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Part of OECD Water Policy and Finance Set - Buy all four reports and save over 30% on buying separately! Many countries have sought the involvement of the private sector to upgrade and develop their water and sanitation infrastructure and improve the efficiency of water systems. However, high capital intensity, large initial outlays, long pay-back periods, immobility of assets and low rates of return generate high risks. These factors, when combined with poor initial information and weak investment environment, limit the scale of private sector participation in water and sanitation infrastructure. Recognising this, the OECD has developed practical guidance, building on the OECD Principles for Private Sector Participation in Infrastructure, to help governments and other stakeholders to assess and manage the implications of involving private actors in the financing, development and management of water and sanitation infrastructure. The resulting OECD Checklist for Public Action provides a coherent catalogue of policy directions for consideration by governments, including appropriate allocation of roles, risks and responsibilities, framework conditions and contractual arrangements necessary to make the best of private sector participation and harness more effectively the capacities of all stakeholders. This title is co-published with the OECD See also: Public and Private Participation in the Water and Wastewater Sector - Developing Sustainable Legal Mechanisms, Cledan Mandri-Perrott, 2009; Public Private Partnerships in the Water Sector, Innovation and Financial Sustainability, Cledan Mandri-Perrott and David Stiggers, 2012
