Policy Research Working Papers
 

Policy research reports bring to a broad audience the results of research on development policy issues carried out by World Bank staff. They help us take stock of what we know and clearly identify what we do not know and they contribute to the debate in both the academic and policy communities on appropriate public policy objectives and instruments for developing economies.

Because they summarize research, the Policy Research Reports provoke further debate, both within the Bank and outside, concerning the methods used and the conclusions drawn.
