Currently, the research community lacks the capacity to provide
accurate, up-to-date information about conditions and trends in
rural areas. Bringing together some of the best known rural
development researchers, this volume begins to build an information
base that can serve as a foundation for rural development policy.
It deals with four components of development--education,
entrepreneurship, physical infrastructure, and social
infrastructure. The opening chapters address two aspects of each
component--the use of the component to achieve rural development
and measuring the impact of its use. The volume then applies
specific analytic methods of measuring impact to each
component.
The opening chapters address two aspects of each component--the
concept of using that component to achieve rural development and
the concept of measuring its impact. The volume then examines
analytic methods of measuring impact. Following an overview of
analytic methods, chapters apply a different analytic technique to
each of the components. The techniques considered include
econometric models, computable general equilibrium models,
input-output analysis, and the case-study method.
