Well: I believe any research comes from the area of interest of a researcher and the area of interest of a researcher comes from within. Logically, we start with defining a research problem and not a research title...be very carefully.

(For some odd reason, the World Bank does not provide easy access to the
detailed definition of WDI variables on its database site! You need to go to
the bottom of the "Help" page and click on the link to "WDI 2006 book - full
text" or
http://devdata.worldbank.org/wdi2006/contents/cover.htmWorld Development Indicators 2006. The tables
in the full text have links to variables definitions. Index of indicators
also provides links to those tables and definitions,
