The forum attempts to answer these questions: How do you recognize a hidden fiscal crisis? When capital flows are volatile, what types of policy announcements can help fend off currency crises? Do government training programs for unemployed workers have an effect? What infrastructure investments reduce infant mortality? This book collects nine outstanding papers presented at the forum. The main theme surveyed in this book include fiscal policy, capital flows, trade, decentralization, labor markets, infrastructure, health, and worker training. The second volume collects eight more papers, concerned with household behavior and health, communities and welfare, local governments and basic services, and firms and governments under uncertainty.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOCONFERENCESCAPITAL FLOWSINFANT MORTALITYCRISIS MANAGEMENTFISCAL POLICYFISCAL ADJUSTMENTSCONTINGENT LIABILITYFISCAL DEFICITSDECENTRALIZATION IN GOVERNMENTLABOR TURNOVERSELF EMPLOYMENTGOVERNMENT EMPLOYEESSEVERANCE COMPENSATIONTRAININGURBAN UNEMPLOYMENTCHILD MORTALITYACCESS TO WATERSAFE WATER SUPPLYPOTABLE WATERSEWERAGETRAINING PROGRAMSPUBLIC EXPENDITURESRISK MANAGEMENTCONTRACTUAL SAVINGSMIGRANTSSOCIAL NETWORKSINDUSTRIAL WASTESINDUSTRIAL POLLUTIONWATER POLLUTIONEDUCATION ACCESS TO INFORMATIONADVERTISINGCAPITAL MARKETSCLINICSCOMPETITIVE MARKETSCONSUMERSCONTRACTUAL SAVINGSDECISION MAKINGDISCRIMINATIONECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMISTSELASTICITIESEMPLOYMENTEQUILIBRIUMEXPENDITURESGENERAL PRACTICEGENERAL PRACTITIONERSGYNECOLOGYHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH EXPENDITUREHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SYSTEMSHOSPITALSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTIMPERFECT INFORMATIONINCIDENCE ANALYSISINCOMEINDUSTRIAL WATERINFLATIONINFORMATION ASYMMETRIESINFORMATION IMPERFECTIONSINFORMATION MARKETINPATIENT CAREINSURANCE PREMIUMSLABOR MARKETSLABOR SUPPLYMARKET FORCESMEDICAL FACILITIESMEDICAL SERVICESMIGRANTSOUTPATIENT CAREOUTPATIENT SERVICESPATIENT INFORMATIONPATIENTSPEDIATRICSPHYSICIANSPOLLUTION ABATEMENTPREVENTIVE HEALTH SERVICESPRICE CHANGESPRICE DIFFERENCESPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIVATE SECTORPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC SECTORRATESRISK REDUCTIONSAVINGSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL NETWORKSSURGERYTEACHING HOSPITALSTHEORETICAL MODELSURBAN AREASWATER POLLUTIONWILLINGNESS TO PAYWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-5074-9
