Assessing the Impact of Transport and Energy Infrastructure on Poverty Reduction

Cook, Cynthia C.; Duncan, Tyrell; Jitsuchon, Somchai; Sharma, Anil; Guobao, Wu | July 2005

Abstract

This book addresses the contribution of transport and energy infrastructure to poverty reduction. This is a core issue for ADB and for the other three donors that collaborated in producing this book (DFID, JBIC, and World Bank). The country studies examined this contribution in the People's Republic of China (PRC), India, and Thailand, which (particularly in the case of the PRC and India) are of strategic importance for overall ADB lending, and account for a substantial portion of total ADB lending for transport and energy.

Globalization is putting a higher premium on competitiveness, requiring Asian developing countries (ADCs) to develop not only more productive but also more flexible and sophisticated labor forces.

Impact of Cross-border Transport Infrastructure on Trade and Investment in the GMS

Reduced trade costs can also indirectly induce increased foreign direct investment (FDI) mainly through intra-firm vertical integration ...
