The World Bank Research Observer is intended for anyone who has a professional interest in development. Observer articles are written to be accessible to nonspecialist readers; contributors examine key issues in development economics, survey the literature and the latest World Bank research, and debate issues of development policy. Articles are reviewed by an editorial board drawn from across the Bank and the international community of economists. This edition has the following headings: (i) How Effective are Active Labor Market Policies in Developing Countries? A Critical Review of Recent Evidence; (ii) Debunking the Stereotype of the Lazy Welfare Recipient : Evidence from Cash Transfer Programs; (iii) The Impacts of Fiscal Openness; and (iv) The Opportunities and Challenges of Digitizing Government-to-Person Payments.
