    Philippines

    The economy of the Philippines is open
    to trade and capital inflows, and has grown rapidly since
    2002. Over the last 10 years, however, domestic investment,
    while stagnant in real terms, has shrunk as a share of GDP.
    In an open and growing economy, why the decline? Three
    reasons explain the puzzle. First, the public sector cannot
    afford expanding its investment at GDP growth rates.
    Second, the capital-intensive private sector does not find

    Vietnam

    Traditionally both national and regional
    development planning in Vietnam has been driven by
    'top-down' Central Government social and economic
    targets based on limited analytical investigation. However,
    with the advent of the free market economy in Vietnam since
    the late 1980s, vigorous global economic competitiveness and
    Vietnam's membership to the World Trade Organization
    (WTO), changes in national policy in Vietnam have now

    Laos

    Lao PDR economic performance has
    continued to improve during 2006. Real GDP grew at 7.0
    percent in 2005 and is now expected to be slightly higher at
    7.3 percent in 2006. This growth is in large part due to
    foreign investment inflows in mining and hydro-power and
    growing mineral exports, but the share of non-mining
    contributions has increased this year, reaching 4.9 out of
    7.3 percent. Agriculture, manufacturing and services sectors

    Vietnam

    Vietnam's forests remain dependent
    on public resources, including international development
    assistance, for the delivery of public and private services
    that include timber production, state forest management,
    forest protection and biodiversity conservation, and
    extension and research. Public subsidies are also provided
    to smallholder forest owners to stimulate investments into
    the sector. For the Government it is important to

    Cambodia

    Cambodia's growth over 1998-2008
    has been remarkable (almost 10 percent per annum for a
    decade). This paper applies a "growth diagnostic"
    approach to understand how this happened and how it can be
    sustained. Past growth has been driven by the coincidence of
    a set of historical and geographic factors (including
    opportunistic policy responses), together with the use of
    natural assets (although in a non sustainable way) and the

    Global, Indonesia

    Did the rise in food prices have a long-term impact on agricultural production? Using household-level panel data from seven provinces of Indonesia, this paper finds that the price shock created a forward-looking incentive to invest, which can dynamically enhance productivity in agriculture. It also finds that the impact of the price shock on investment behavior differs by initial wealth. In response to price increases, wealthy farmers invested more in productive assets, while poor farmers increased their financial savings as well as consumption.

    Indonesia

    The Government of Indonesia (GOI) is in
    the process of designing a national REDD+ mechanism to allow
    it to access donor funding in the medium term, and funding
    from a potential performance based mechanism in the long
    term. This policy brief is focused on the broad question of
    how REDD+ can address underlying community issues such as
    lack of access to forest land, and does not deal with the
    more specific questions of legal and institutional

    Indonesia

    Within the next two decades Indonesia
    aspires to generate prosperity, avoid a middle-income trap
    and leave no one behind as it tries to catch up with
    high-income economies. These are ambitious goals. Realizing
    them requires sustained high growth and job creation, as
    well as reduced inequality. Can Indonesia achieve them? This
    report argues that the country has the potential to rise and
    become more prosperous and equitable. But the risk of
