Public Investment for Sustainable Growth:Making the One Belt One Road Program Work
发布日期：2016-12-02 09:55 来源：北京大学国家发展研究院
时 间：2016年12月2日（周五）13:30-15:00 地 点：北京大学国家发展研究院致福轩大教室 主持人：王燕 教授主讲人：Prof. Syed Ehtisham Ahmad (Univ. of Bonn and LSE)
评论人：林双林 教授
【内容概要】
Public Investment in infrastructure is critical in ensuring sustainable and inclusive growth. In principle this should also assist in achieving greater interpersonal equity and spatial convergence, especially through the creation of new “clean cities” or hubs away from congested and polluted metropolitan areas that have developed in the first stages of development in Asia (India and China) and Latin America (e.g., Mexico and Chile). However, achieving the sustainable outcomes requires a comprehensive approach to public policies and project selection linked to expanding the production possibility frontiers of the countries concerned. Based on research supported by the Inter-American Development Bank, we draw some lessons from the adverse outcomes in Chile, which has often been praised by the International Agencies for having one of the best investment management systems in the world.
