About the Centre Created in 1999, the Centre for Policy Research is a nonprofit research and educational institution, linked to IUBAT – International University of Business Agriculture and Technology. Its goals are to identify current and emerging economic and social issues facing Bangladesh; to analyse options for public and private sector responses; to recommend, where appropriate, particular policy options; and to communicate the conclusions of its research in an accessible and nonpartisan form, in both English and Bengali. Simon Fraser University in Burnaby (Vancouver), Canada, has entered into a memorandum of understanding with IUBAT. By this agreement, SFU will encourage participation by its faculty and students in projects of the centre. While the centre takes care to assure the quality of published research, the conclusions of individual studies lie with the authors. Conclusions do not necessarily represent the opinion of IUBAT, SFU or the members of the centre’s management committee. About the Authors Mark Jaccard is currently Director of the Energy Research Group at Simon Fraser University. He has worked on energy regulation and conservation policies within Canada and internationally. He has also served as Chairman of the British Columbia Utilities Commission, which is responsible for regulating the gas and electric utilities of this Canadian province. Mujibur Rahman Khan...
