                   The ADB Working Paper Series on Regional Economic Integration focuses on topics relating to regional 
                   cooperation and integration in the areas of infrastructure and software, trade and investment, money and 
                   finance, and regional public goods. The Series is a quick-disseminating, informal publication that seeks to 
                   provide information, generate discussion, and elicit comments. Working papers published under this Series 
                   may subsequently be published elsewhere.
