    Population pressures play less of a role in deforestation than earlier studies of Thailand found. Between 1976 and 1989, Thailand lost 28 percent ofits forest cover. To analyze how road building, population pressure,and geophysical factors affected deforestation in Thailand during that period, Cropper, Griffiths, and Mani develop a model in whichthe amount of land cleared, the number of agricultural households,and the size of the road network are jointly determined.The model assumes that the amount of land cleared reflects an equilibrium in the land market.

    Policy makers in developing countries,
    including India, are increasingly sensitive to the links
    between spatial transformation and economic development.
    However, the empirical knowledge available on those links is
    most often insufficient to guide policy decisions. There is
    no shortage of case studies on urban agglomerations of
    different sorts, or of benchmarking exercises for states and
    districts, but more systematic evidence is scarce. To help

    Policies that enable rural communities
    to participate in expanding economic opportunities can be
    central to inclusive growth in Myanmar. Rural communities
    are home to the majority of Myanmar’s population, the
    majority of its many ethnic groups, and 70 percent of its
    poor. Development in rural areas is constrained by low
    returns to agriculture, and significantly lower levels of
    public service delivery and human development outcomes
