The Country Opinion Survey in Vietnam assists the World Bank Group (WBG) in gaining a better understanding of how stakeholders in Vietnam perceive the WBG. It provides the WBG with systematic feedback from national and local governments, multilateral/bilateral agencies, media, academia, the private sector, and civil society in Vietnam on 1) their views regarding the general environment in Vietnam; 2) their overall attitudes toward the WBG in Vietnam; 3) overall impressions of the WBG’s effectiveness and results, knowledge work and activities, and communication and information sharing in Vietnam; and 4) their perceptions of the WBG’s future role in Vietnam.Date

Finance for All? Policies and Pitfalls in Expanding AccessWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2012-06-01)This book, finance for all, presents first efforts at developing indicators illustrating that financial access is quite limited around the world and identifies barriers that may be preventing small firms and poor households from using financial services. Based on this research, the report derives principles for effective government policy on broadening access. The report's conclusions confirm some traditional views and challenge others. For example, recent research provides additional evidence to support the widely-held belief that financial development promotes growth and illustrates the role of access in this process. Improved access to finance creates an environment conducive to new firm entry, innovation, and growth. However, research also shows that small firms benefit the most from financial development and greater access-both in terms of entry and seeing their growth constraints relaxed. Hence, inclusive financial systems also have consequences for the composition and competition in the enterprise sector. This report reviews and synthesizes a large body of research, and provides the basis for sound policy advice in the area of financial access. The findings in this report also underline the importance of investing in data collection: continued work on measuring and evaluating the impact of access requires detailed micro data both at the household and enterprise level.

Finance and inequality : Theory and evidenceLevine, Ross; Demirgüç-Kunt, Asli (2009-06-01)This paper critically reviews the
 literature on finance and inequality, highlighting
 substantive gaps in the literature. Finance plays a crucial
 role in most theories of persistent inequality.
 Unsurprisingly, therefore, economic theory provides a rich
 set of predictions concerning both the impact of finance on
 inequality and about the relevant mechanisms. Although
 subject to ample qualifications, the bulk of empirical
 research suggests that improvements in financial contracts,
 markets, and intermediaries expand economic opportunities
 and reduce inequality. Yet, there is a shortage of
 theoretical and empirical research on the potentially
 enormous impact of formal financial sector policies, such as
 bank regulations and securities law, on persistent
 inequality. Furthermore, there is no conceptual framework
 for considering the joint and endogenous evolution of
 finance, inequality, and economic growth.

The Impact of High School Financial Education : Experimental Evidence from Brazilde Souza Leao, Luciana; Bruhn, Miriam; Marchetti, Rogelio; Legovini, Arianna; Zia, Bilal (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2014-02-05)This paper studies the impact of a
 comprehensive financial education program spanning six
 states, 868 schools, and approximately 20,000 high school
 students in Brazil through a randomized control trial. The
 program increased student financial knowledge by a quarter
 of a standard deviation and led to a 1.4 percentage point
 increase in saving for purchases, better likelihood of
 financial planning, and greater participation in household
 financial decisions by students. "Trickle-up"
 impacts on parents were also significant, with improvements
 in parent financial knowledge, savings, and spending
 behavior. The study also finds evidence that the program
 affected students' inter-temporal preferences and attitudes.
