Download or read book on measuring the benefits of lower transport costs written by Hanan G. Jacoby and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Despite large amounts invested in rural roads in developing countries, little is known about their benefits. This paper derives an expression for the willingness-to-pay for a reduction in transport costs from the canonical agricultural household model and uses it to estimate the benefits of a hypothetical road project. Estimation is based on novel cross-sectional data collected in a small region of Madagascar with enormous, yet plausibly exogenous, variation in transport cost. A road that essentially eliminated transport costs in the study area would boost the incomes of the remotest households-those facing transport costs of about USD 75/ton-by nearly half, mostly by raising non-farm earnings. This benefit estimate is contrasted to one based on a hedonic approach.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A change in the transport sector's current approach to selecting rural road investments is warranted. A proposed approach builds on some of the poverty-focused "hybrid" methods found in recent rural road appraisals, recognizing that an important share of the benefits to the poor from rural roads cannot be measured in monetary terms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many inhabitants of rural areas in developing countries lack adequate and affordable access to transport infrastructure services, and this lack of transport opportunities constrains economic and social development.

Book excerpt: Many of Cameroon's citizens live in remote rural areas of the country. Their lives are plagued by extreme poverty, and they are further thwarted from improving their economic lot by the lack of traversable rural roadways, limiting their safe and efficient access to markets. The government of Cameroon, through long-standing policy and planning decisions, has perpetuated the paucity of traversable roads, particularly in rural areas. This has a profound and negative effect on the economy of the country, particularly in areas most in need of economic growth. Not only are the roads in Cameroon limited in number, but those that exist are poorly maintained-if at all-and in a state of continual deterioration. Research shows that improved roads will lessen the cost and time of transportation, the expense of maintaining vehicles, and the cost of goods and services. These effects will, in turn, improve the economy of the country and better serve the public interest. Decision-makers must embark on far-reaching measures to increase the supply and efficiency of roads in Cameroon by abolishing deeply entrenched political relationships, addressing the problems of structural weaknesses, and establishing politically neutral and competent institutions. The State of Rural Roads in Cameroon demonstrates through careful research and documentation that without these measures, living conditions for most of the people in the country will continue to decline. Not only are the roads in Cameroon limited in number, those which exist are poorly maintained-if at all-and exist in a condition of continuing deterioration. These practices indicate that a weak policy and regulatory framework, interference with responsible decision making, and conflicting public sector management strategies have led to narrowly conceived road development efforts. Research also shows that solutions to sustainable road development require dismantling and abolishing future deeply entrenched political relationships, addressing the problems of structural weaknesses, and establishing politically neutral and competent institutions. Failure to adequately invest in roads in Cameroon has impeded the cross-sectional benefits of roads and has severely restricted the effective functioning of economic and social frameworks, particularly in light of achieving the poverty-reduction strategy of Millennium Development Goals. This book demonstrates that improved roads will lessen the cost and time of transportation, the expense of maintaining vehicles, and the cost of goods and services. These effects will, in turn, improve the economy of the country and better serve the public interest.
