Description
Following Sachs (2005), this paper adopts a clinical economics approach and attempts to undertake a systematic “differential diagnosis” of the nature and scope of poverty in Nepal. Subsequently, we will examine the causes of poverty and the determinants of household per capita income in Nepal. Ultimately, we hope to propose programs and institutions to address the critical barriers to poverty reduction that are identified through the differential diagnosis.
