The importance of public investment for reducing rural poverty in middle-income countries: the case of Thailand by Fan, Shenggen, Jitsuchon, Somchai, Methakunnavut, Nuntaporn

“…Thailand is a middle-income country and it is insightful to compare these results with similar studies undertaken in low-income countries like India, China, and Uganda. Some of the results are similar, for example, the high returns to public investments in agricultural research and some kinds of rural infrastructure arise in most countries because of the inherent market failures associated with these types of public goods. …”
