Essay Instructions: In their paper "Poverty and Inequality in India: A Re Examination"(http://www.wws.princeton.edu/rpds/downloads/deaton_dreze_poverty_india.pdf) Deaton and Dreze argue that patterns of poverty - reduction and economic growth in India in the nineties are characterized by major regional imbalances. Broadly speaking, they argue that western and southern states (Andra Pradesh excluded)have tended to display high levels of growth and poverty reduction. Several states in the North and the North - East, however form a contiguous region of low growth. They argue that this is a matter of concern, because these areas were also characterized by initially high levels of poverty and low levels of economic growth.
According to Deaton and Dreze's estimates, which specific are locked into a "spatial poverty trap"? Based on either Deaton and Dreze's paper and other topics that we have covered in this class, please describe what you believe are the three most important factors in generating such a spatial poverty trap. If you argue that government policy is/was the problem, please be clear about whether the policy was simply absent of simply ineffective.
Other "factors" that you can consider writing about are: slow growth in educational attainment in the poorer states, the inability of the states to address the issue of malnutrition(please be clear about exactly why this affects the productivity and thus economic growth), the absence of "green revolution" in the poorer states, etc.
