    Delivering on the Promise of Pro-Poor
    Growth contributes to the debate on how to accelerate
    poverty reduction by providing insights from eight countries
    that have been relatively successful in delivering pro-poor
    growth: Bangladesh, Brazil, Ghana, India, Indonesia,
    Tunisia, Uganda, and Vietnam. It integrates growth analytics
    with the microanalysis of household data to determine how

    In this introduction, the authors do three things. They first introduce the puzzle and relate it to existing interpretations from market reformists and their critics, arguing that both sets of views are inadequate. The authors then offer an alternative interpretation: that entrenched inequities sustained by a rent-sharing political equilibrium are a primary source of inefficiencies and weak growth. Moreover, this equilibrium has been resilient to democratization in ways that can be explained by the nature of the underlying forces.

    regressive distribution of development outcomes such as

    The global moving out of poverty study is unique in several respects. It is one of the few large-scale comparative research efforts to focus on mobility out of poverty rather than on poverty alone.

    The policy reforms called for in the
    transition from a socialist command economy to a developing
    market economy bring both opportunities and risks to a
    country's citizens. In poor economies, the initial
    focus of reform efforts is naturally the rural sector, which
    is where one finds the bulk of the population and almost all
