This title brings together new theoretical and empirical treatments of the links between rural and national development. New findings and are combined with existing literature to enhance our understanding of the how rural economic activities contribute to various aspects of national development. The study is based on original research funded by the World Bank's Office of the Chief Economist for Latin America and the Caribbean.

The empirical findings also make substantial contributions to the debate over the appropriate design of public policies aiming to enhance the rural contribution to national development, including economic growth, poverty reduction, environmental sustainability, and macroeconomic stability.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGRICULTURAL INNOVATIONAGRICULTURAL KNOWLEDGEAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAGRICULTURAL R&DAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTURAL RESEARCH EXPENDITURESAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTUREAGRICULTURE/GDPAKISARABLE LANDCARBONCASE STUDIESCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECOMPETITIVE GRANTSCOMPETITIVENESSCONSUMERSCROPSDECENTRALIZATIONDEFORESTATIONDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRYDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMSDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDISTRIBUTIONECONOMETRIC ESTIMATESECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMICSEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTELASTICITIESELASTICITYEMISSIONSEMPLOYMENTENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEQUILIBRIUMEXCHANGE RATEEXPORTSEXTENSIONFARMERSFARMSFERTILIZERSFINANCIAL SERVICESFISHERIESFOOD POLICY RESEARCHFORESTRYFREE TRADEGDPGDP PER CAPITAGLOBAL TRADEGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESGOVERNMENT SUBSIDIESHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCOMEINCOMESINDUSTRIALIZATIONINEFFICIENCYINFRASTRUCTURE SERVICESINSTITUTIONAL INCENTIVESINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL TRADELABOR PRODUCTIVITYLAND MARKETSLAND USELATIN AMERICANLEGISLATURESLOW INCOMEMACROECONOMIC MODELSMARKET IMPERFECTIONSMULTILATERAL TRADENARSNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SYSTEMSNATIONAL AVERAGENATIONAL ECONOMIESNATIONAL POVERTYNATURAL ENDOWMENTSNATURAL RESOURCESNET EXPORTSPER CAPITA INCOMEPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL INFLUENCEPOPULATION DENSITIESPOSITIVE EFFECTSPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRESENT VALUEPRIMARY SCHOOLPRODUCERSPRODUCTION ELASTICITIESPRODUCTION FUNCTIONSPRODUCTIVITYPRODUCTIVITY GROWTHPROTECTIONISMPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC GOODSPUBLIC POLICIESPUBLIC SERVICESREGULATORY REGIMESRESEARCH & DEVELOPMENTRESEARCH INSTITUTERISK MANAGEMENTRURAL AREASRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL ECONOMYRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL INFRASTRUCTURERURAL INHABITANTSRURAL PEOPLERURAL POPULATIONRURAL POVERTYSERVICE PROVISIONSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOUTH AMERICANSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSYSTEMS ANALYSISTAX STRUCTURETECHNICAL ASSISTANCETEXTILESTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY GROWTHTRADE BALANCETRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE NEGOTIATIONSTRADE POLICIESURBAN AREASURBAN COMMUNITIESURBAN POPULATIONURBAN RESIDENTSWAGESWEALTHWELFARE EFFECTSWELFARE GAINSWORLD TRADE ORGANIZATIONWTOZONINGWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-6097-3
