This book analyses how closer regional connectivity and economic
integration between South Asia and Southeast Asia can benefit both
regions. With a focus on the role played by infrastructure and
public policies in facilitating this process, it provides a
detailed and up-to-date discussion of issues, innovations, and
progress. Country studies of national connectivity issues and
policies cover Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and
Thailand, examining major developments in trade and investment,
economic cooperation, the role of economic corridors, and regional
cooperation initiatives.Thematic chapters explore investment in
land and sea transport infrastructure, trade facilitation,
infrastructure investment financing, supporting national and
regional policies, and model-based estimates of the benefits of
integration. They also identify significant opportunities for
strengthening these integration efforts as a result of the recent
opening up of Myanmar in political, economic, and financial terms.
For the first time for these regions, the book employs a
state-of-the-art computable general equilibrium (CGE) model
incorporating heterogeneous firms to estimate the advantages of
integration. Providing perspective on the latest thinking on
integration policy, Connecting Asia is an essential resource for
academics, policymakers, and business people alike. Contributors:
