Solomon Islands and Vanuatu are two small states that have struggled to develop successful social policies since independence. This study traces their social histories and examines factors that have hindered progress. Future development requires a move away from traditional social structures and a focus on political stability and economic growth.
Reviews the poverty measuring practices, available measures of poverty, and economic growth figures of Nepal. The poverty rates for FY 1976-77, 1984-85, and 1995-96 are found to be not comparable due to change in methodology over time. The three poverty rates average 40%. Nepal has experienced high economic growth during the 7th (1985-86 to 1989-90) and 8th (1992-93 to 1996-97) Plan periods with no strong evidences of poverty reduction. This incompatible result is partially explained by comparing growth of the agricultural sector with the role of the sector in providing employment and income generation at the household level, and by comparing social indicators particularly literacy rate with the growth of the nonagricultural sector.

Provides estimates for countries with market economies on gross domestic product expenditures and receipts, production, income and outlay, capital accumulation and capital finance accounts for government, corporations, households, and private, non-profit institutions. Also includes production by sector. For centrally planned economies includes net material product, primary incomes, capital formation and consumption for a range of years (1970-1985).

Viet Nam's dramatic transition and growth in the 1990s have been attributed to a series of reforms, known as "doi moi," which began in the late 1980s. Economic growth of nearly 8% yearly benefited the poor and reduced poverty from 61% in 1993 to 37% in 1998. The proportionate increases in the incomes of the poorest quintile were appreciably larger than those of the top 20 or 40% of the population. This result is at variance with typical findings for other countries, which indicate that welfare gains from growth are smallest for the lowest quintile and rise with income group. The results for Viet Nam suggest that the faster the growth rate, the lesser becomes the role of distributive factors that directly influence the poor's well-being. A print on demand report.
Attempts to measure competitiveness (CP) across countries have typically neglected the world¿s smallest economies. Hence, a simple composite index, the Small State Manufactured Export CP Index or SSMECI, was developed to benchmark industrial CP. The SSMECI represents the first attempt to provide a comprehensive picture of the CP performance of small states. The performance of small states varies across geographical regions, income groups, & country size classes. High-performing small states had better macroeconomic conditions, higher levels of foreign invest., more trade openness, better levels of educ., & modern infrastructure. A coherent, market-oriented CP strategy in small states is vital to success on international markets. Tables.
Key Indicators of Developing Asian and Pacific Countries is an annual statistical publication of the Asian Development Bank, presenting the most current statistical data and socioeconomic indicators from 29 of the Bank's developing member countries (DMCs).Key Indicators comprises three parts. Part I presents data that provide a broad perspective on the situation and performance of the Asian and Pacific region in relation to industrialized countries and other developing regions of the world. Part II presents standard socioeconomic data comparableamong DMCs. Part III presents detailed data for each country covered. The 1992 edition of Key Indicators includes coverage of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and Mongolia, one of the Bank's newest DMCs.Key Indicators is prepared by the Statistics and Data Systems Division of the Asian Development Bank's Economics and Development Resource Center. Data sources for Key Indicators include the governments of the countries covered and a number of international development agencies.
Examines the role of infrastructure development and technical change in explaining increases in agricultural production and changes in land use in the Mekong Delta Region of Viet Nam during the mid-1990s. The transportation costs involved in moving agricultural input and output between farms and markets significantly effect farm land use and production decisions. Greater transport costs reduce the likelihood that farms adopt intensive cropping patterns or cultivate non-rice crops. Results suggest that the quality of local water management infrastructure is much more important than transport costs in explaining the increased intensity of land use and level of production observed in the Mekong Delta during the 1990s.
