Burkina Faso : Selected Issues.

This Selected Issues paper examines the impact of scaled-up public investment in Burkina Faso. The results suggest that 'big-push' investment efforts, while designed to accelerate growth, are likely to run up against significant absorption-capacity constraints. These constraints will dimin...
