| | Empirical insights on household behavior and |
| | electricity consumption patterns in this book |
| | reveal that, in Europe and Central Asia, the |
| | erosion of tariff based subsidies has |
| | disproportionately affected the poor, while |
| | direct transfers through social benefit systems |
| | have often been inadequately targeted. The book |
| | suggests alternative strategies for achieving |
| | cost-recovery in the electricity sector in a |
| | socially and politically acceptable manner, |
| | providing lessons that are equally relevant for |
| | other utilities and regions |

| | Tools for Institutional, Political, and Social |
| | Analysis of Policy Reform: |
| | A Sourcebook for Development Practitioners |
| | The Sourcebook introduces a framework for social |
| | analysis in Poverty and Social Impact Analysis |
| | along with a set of practical tools that address |
| | the institutional, political, and social |
| | dimensions of policy design and implementation |
| | and how these impact poverty and distributional |
| | equity. It is designed for country practitioners |
| | working in policy analysis in a range of areas, |
| | including macroeconomic, sectoral, and public |
| | sector policy. |
