Addressing Regional Inequality Issues in Bangladesh Public Expenditure
This paper examines the declared public investments made under the ADP and seeks to answer whether the public expenditure in Bangladesh successfully addresses the regional income inequality problem, and the nature of political biasness of such allocation. In doing so, the study produces an econometric model; data are used from the published ADP documents. The main objective of the paper is to analyse a number of important sectors in terms of pro-poor growth prospect of the economy in the current trend of ADP allocation.
