It takes as a departure point a companion volume, the impact of economic policies on poverty and income distribution: evaluation techniques and tools. This volume was primarily a review of microeconomic techniques aimed at assessing policies that are directly concerned with the welfare of poor households or individuals such as changing the level of cash transfers to the poorest households, increasing price subsidies for basic consumer goods, and the like. In addition, the second part of that earlier publication introduced basic techniques to deal with the poverty impact of macroeconomic policies that by definition are not targeted and affect the whole population. This volume presents a comprehensive array of macro-micro modeling frameworks. It begins by highlighting the limitation of macroeconomic models that use representative household groups to link macroeconomic policies and microeconomic data. It then moves to more complexes, top-down modeling frameworks, which combine (top) macro models and (down) micro simulation models that, in turn, can be simple micro accounting models or behavioral micro models. The book also explores integrated models, in which the macro and micro parts are either linked by iterative feedback loops or solved simultaneously as a single model. By providing clear access to these techniques, by documenting their analytical underpinnings, their data requirements, and their range of applicability, and even by highlighting some of their limitations, this book provides a unique compendium for practitioners, policy makers, and anyone interested in economic development.application/pdftext/plainCC BY 3.0 IGOhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/World BankACCOUNTINGADJUSTMENT POLICIESAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTUREALLOCATION OF RESOURCESBASIC INFRASTRUCTUREBENEFIT INCIDENCEBUDGET CONSTRAINTSCASH TRANSFERSCENTRAL BANKCITIZENSCOMPETITIVE MARKETSCONFLICTCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCONSUMERSCONSUMPTION BEHAVIORCONSUMPTION FUNCTIONCOUNTERFACTUALDATA QUALITYDEBTDECENTRALIZATIONDEVALUATIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDISEQUILIBRIUMDISSEMINATIONDISTRIBUTION OF INCOMEDISTRIBUTIONAL DYNAMICSDISTRIBUTIONAL EFFECTSDISTRIBUTIONAL IMPACTSDISTRIBUTIONAL OUTCOMESECONOMETRIC MODELSECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INEQUALITYECONOMIC POLICYECONOMIC STRUCTUREELASTICITYELASTICITY OF SUBSTITUTIONEMPLOYMENT INCOMESEMPLOYMENT STATUSEQUILIBRIUMEXTERNALITIESFACTOR MARKETSFAMILY INCOMEFARMERSFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL REFORMSFINANCIAL SECTORFISCAL POLICYFOOD POLICYFOOD STAPLESFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFREE TRADEFUNCTIONAL FORMSGENERAL EQUILIBRIUMGENERAL EQUILIBRIUM ANALYSESGENERAL EQUILIBRIUM ANALYSISGENERAL EQUILIBRIUM MODELSGNPGNP PER CAPITAGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS NATIONAL PRODUCTGROWTH POTENTIALGROWTH RATEHEALTH POLICIESHEALTH SERVICESHISTORICAL DATAHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD DEMOGRAPHICSHOUSEHOLD GROUPSHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCIDENCE ANALYSISINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME EFFECTINCOME GROWTHINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME LEVELSINDIVIDUAL DECISIONSINDIVIDUAL HOUSEHOLDSINDIVIDUAL WELFAREINDUSTRIALIZATIONINNOVATIONINTEREST RATESINTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTEINTERNATIONAL POLICYINTERNATIONAL TRADEIRRIGATIONLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET ADJUSTMENTLABOR MARKETSLABOR SUPPLYLABOURLEGAL STATUSLIQUIDITYLIVING STANDARDSMACRO MODELMACROECONOMIC EFFECTSMACROECONOMIC MODELSMACROECONOMIC POLICIESMACROECONOMIC POLICIES ON POVERTYMACROECONOMIC POLICYMACROECONOMIC REFORMMACROECONOMIC SHOCKSMACROECONOMICSMAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATIONMEATMICRO MODELMICRO MODELSMILLENNIUM DECLARATIONMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMONETARY POLICIESMOTIVATIONMULTILATERAL TRADEMULTIPLIERSNATIONAL INCOMENUMBER OF CHILDRENNUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDSOCCUPATIONSOVERVALUATIONPARTIAL EQUILIBRIUM ANALYSESPER CAPITA INCOMEPOLICY CHANGEPOLICY DECISIONSPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOLICY RESPONSEPOORPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR PEOPLEPOPULATION CENSUSESPOPULATION GROUPSPOPULATION SUBGROUPSPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY ERADICATIONPOVERTY IMPACTPOVERTY INDEXESPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY MAPSPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY STATUSPRACTITIONERSPRICE SUBSIDIESPROFIT FUNCTIONSPROGRESSPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SPENDINGRATES OF GROWTHREAL GDPREAL INCOMEREAL WAGE RATESREAL WAGESREGRESSION ANALYSISREPRESENTATIVE HOUSEHOLDRESPECTRURALRURAL AREASRURAL ECONOMYRURAL POORSAFETYSAFETY NETSSANITATIONSAVINGSSECOND ROUND EFFECTSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSELF-SUFFICIENCYSERVICE DELIVERYSIMULATION TECHNIQUESSOCIAL EXPENDITURESSOCIAL IMPACTSOCIAL SPENDINGSOCIAL WELFARESTRUCTURAL CHANGESTRUCTURAL REFORMSSURPLUS LABORTAXATIONTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYTRADE BARRIERSTRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE POLICIESTRADE POLICYTRADE REFORMSUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN WORKERSUTILITY FUNCTIONUTILITY THEORYVALUE ADDEDWAGE RATESWAGESWEALTHWHOLESALE PRICE INDEXWORLD TRADE ORGANIZATIONWTO
