Household Welfare and Vietnam's TransitionDavid Dollar, Paul Glewwe, Jennie Ilene Litvack World Bank Publications, 1 ian. 1998 - 330 pagini Vietnam's rapid growth has transformed the country, reducing poverty from about 75 percent of the population to about 50 percent. At the same time, its transition from a planned to a market economy has created new challenges for public policy in a wide range of areas. This volume explores issues such as which macroeconomic and structural reforms led to growth, what effect reform has had on the household economy, and how the transition has affected education, health, fertility, and child nutrition. It provides an analysis of economic and social policies and shows how micro-level data can be used to analyze the likely effect of different government expenditures and activities. It also focuses on the effect different policies have on the poor and challenges stereotypes about poverty-focused expenditures. |

In the high-inflation period, Vietnam had negative savings. By 1995 savings had increased to a respectable 16 percent of GDP. The fact that Vietnam was able to halt high inflation without suffering a recession can be attributed in part to the dualistic nature of the economy at the beginning of 1989. Agricultural land...
