    (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2015-06-11) Oviedo, Ana Maria; Sanchez, Susana M.; Lindert, Kathy A.; Lopez, J. Humberto

This Systematic Country Diagnostic takes stock of the poverty, inequality, and growth trends, addressing the following questions: To what extent has the Costa Rican development model been inclusive? What has driven growth in Costa Rica in recent years, and what are the bottlenecks that need to be addressed? How sustainable is the development model of Costa Rica economically, socially, and environmentally?
