    Book Review: Economic Growth, Poverty, and Household Welfare in Vietnam Paul Glewwe, Nisha Agrawal and David Dollar (eds) World Bank, Washington, DC, 2004. pp. 520. ISBN 0 821 35543 0 Paul Burke and Adam McCarty Mekong Economics Ltd. http://www.mekongeconomics.com - Pre-publication version - Asian-Pacific Economic Literature Somebody should start a business to turn draft research papers into publishable articles and books. This awesome 628-page tome was not published until 2004, although first drafts of the papers were reviewed at a workshop in Hanoi in May 2001. After that workshop a busload of World Bank researchers came to dinner at my [Adam’s] house, and we toasted our good fortune to be working in Vietnam at a time when it was transformed ‘from basket case to rice basket’. Not that we or the donor community in general could claim any of the credit. David Dollar, now heading the World Bank China office, was Country Economist for Vietnam in the early 1990s. Once famously introduced at a workshop as ‘Mr. American Dollar’, he was the only one the Bretton Woods institutions sent to Vietnam before 1993. David liked to think that the Vietnamese 1 had followed his policy advice. We will never know the counterfactual, but what we do know is that the remarkable reform and macroeconomic stabilisation during 1987–92 was achieved without any need for structural adjustment lending or balance of payments support. To the book. In Economic Growth, Poverty, and Household Welfare in Vietnam, Glewwe, Agrawal and Dollar of the World Bank present 16 edited papers that explore important issues related to Vietnam’s recent rapid development.

  • Uniformity Versus Selectivity in Indirect Taxation*
    ECONOMICS AND POLITICS 0954- 1985 Volume 2 March 1990 No. I UNIFORMITY VERSUS SELECTIVITY IN INDIRECT TAXATION* NICHOLASSTERN I. INTRODUCTION There are (at least) five groups of arguments which might suggest that indirect taxes should be at a uniform proportionate rate. The first is theoretical and concerns results which show that, under certain assumptions, uniform indirect taxation is an optimum solution in the sense of Pareto efficiency or a combination of equity and efficiency as reflected in a social welfare function. Related results characterise conditions under which movements towards or away from uniformity are welfare improving. The second concerns our ignorance of the information on which theory suggests differential rates of tax should be based. The third group is administrative where it is argued that uniform taxes are simpler to organise and collect, and provide less scope for evasion, than selective taxes. The fourth concerns the role of political and other influences, including unproductive or rent-seeking activities, where, it is suggested, the possibility of non-uniform taxes will lead to considerable opportunities for misuse of the tax system, including expenditure on lobbying by interested parties for special tax treatment. The fifth argues that it is wrong to discriminate between people (and thus goods) on the basis of their preferences. Most of the arguments in favour of uniformity have some serious content but, it will be argued, their proper evaluation requires an understanding of the assumptions underlying the theoretical results, an involvement with the empirical analysis of household behaviour and tax reform, and finally experience with how policy is formed and taxation administered.

    GLEWWE/A WORLD BANK REGIONAL AND SECTORAL STUDIES GRAWAL/DOLLAR Vietnam is an economic success story. It transformed itself from a country in the 1980s that was one of the world’s poorest to a country in the 1990s with one of the world’s highest growth rates. With the adoption of new, market-oriented policies in the late Economic Growth, 1980s, Vietnam averaged an economic growth rate of 8 percent per year from 1990 to 2000. This economic growth was accompanied by a large reduction in poverty (from 58 Public Disclosure Authorized percent in 1993 to 37 percent in 1998), which included dramatic increases in school Poverty, and enrollment and a rapid decrease in child malnutrition. Economic Growth, Poverty, and Household Welfare in Vietnam uses an Household Welfare unusually rich set of macroeconomic and household survey data to examine several topics. These include the causes of the economic turnaround and prospects for Household W Economic Gro future growth; the impact of economic growth on household welfare, as measured by consumption expenditures, health, education, and other socioeconomic outcomes; in Vietnam and the nature of poverty in Vietnam and the effectiveness of government policies intended to reduce it. Although Vietnam’s past achievements are quite impressive, future progress is by no means ensured. This book draws lessons for Vietnam and for other low-income developing countries. It is a valuable resource for anyone—including those in the devel- Public Disclosure Authorized opment community, academia, and the media—who is interested in economic policy, poverty reduction strategies, health care, education, and social safety nets.
