Market Mobilized Capital

Originally published in 1992, Capital Mobilization and Regional Financial Markets, argues that barriers to financial flows within regions may be as important in affecting capital flows as interregional barriers. The book conjectures that regional markets allow efficient mobilization of local funds and develops an analytical framework to motivate an investigation of region financial development in the Pacific Coast states between 1850 and 1920.

One important channel by which market-augmenting government affects economic growth is through its effect on market-mobilized capital the level of capital mobilized by market mechanisms. Market-augmenting government, which is measured in part by both statutory law and law enforcement, affects the magnitude of market-mobilized capital, and through this and other channels, economic growth. This variable, market-mobilized capital, allows us to identify, more clearly than in previous work, the causal links between finance and growth, and to show clear links between statutory law and economic performance.

World Bank Technical Paper No. 369. Hydropower and irrigation projects involving reservoirs can displace thousands of people from their traditional lands and deprive them of their livelihoods. If poorly planned, they can also lead to environmental degradation. Solutions to these problems must be found--solutions that are technically feasible, sustainable, environmentally appropriate, and acceptable to the people who are resettled. This paper explains how the planned, integrated development of fishery ecosystems in reservoirs not only can mitigate the negative social consequences of dam construction, but also can enhance the economic benefits from hydropower and irrigation projects in many developing countries. The paper draws on the success of fish farming efforts in the Saguling and Cirata reservoirs in Java, which attests to the potential for creating employment in reservoirs that are in place and under construction around the world.
