Natural Resources: Neither Curse Nor Destiny
ISBN: 9780804757089 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For almost as long as economics has been a profession, the role of natural resources in the promotion of economic growth has been among the core issues of development theory. Some newer theories suggest that natural riches produce institutional weaknesses as various social groups attempt to capture the economic rents derived from the exploitation of natural resources. Since the 1960s, some analysts have argued that resource-rich developing countries have grown more slowly than other developing countries. Nevertheless, we find ourselves in a time when conventional wisdom again postulates that...

Does What You Export Matter?: In Search of Empirical Guidance for Industrial Policies
ISBN: 9780821384916 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Does what economies export matter for development? If so, can industrial policies improve on the export basket generated by the market? This book approaches these questions from a variety of conceptual and policy viewpoints. Reviewing the theoretical arguments in favor of industrial policies, the authors first ask whether existing indicators allow policy makers to identify growth-promoting sectors with confidence. To this end, they assess, and ultimately cast doubt upon, the reliability of many popular indicators advocated by proponents of industrial policy. Second, and central to their...

Lessons from NAFTA: For Latin America and the Caribbean
ISBN: 9780804752398 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Analyzing the experience of Mexico under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the authors draw lessons for other countries considering free trade agreements with the United States. The authors conclude that NAFTA raised external trade and foreign investment inflows and had a modest effect on Mexico's average income per person. It is likely that NAFTA also helped achieve a modest reduction in poverty and an improvement in job quality. However, major obstacles remain to Mexico's long term development--NAFTA is not enough. The main lesson for other countries is that free trade...

Natural Resources: Neither Curse Nor Destiny
ISBN: 9780821365458 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 369 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 'Natural Resources: Neither Course nor Destiny' brings together a variety of analytical perspectives, ranging from econometric analyses of economic growth to historical studies of successful development experiences in countries with abundant natural resources. The evidence suggests that natural resources are neither a curse nor destiny. Natural resources can actually spur economic development when combined with the accumulation of knowledge for economic innovation. Furthermore, natural resource abundance need not be the only determinant of the structure of trade in developing countries. In...

Open and Nimble: Finding Stable Growth in Small Economies
ISBN: 9781464810428 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 129 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Does economic size matter for economic development outcomes? If so are current policies adequately addressing the role of size in the development process? Using working age population as a proxy for country size, Open and Nimble, systematically analyzes what makes small economies unique. Small economies are not necessarily prone to underdevelopment and in fact can achieve very high income levels. Small economies, however, do tend to be highly open to both international trade and foreign direct investment, have highly specialized export structures, and have large government expenditures...

Better Neighbors: Toward a Renewal of Economic Integration in Latin America
ISBN: 9781464809774 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book proposes a renewal of 'Open Regionalism' in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) aimed at achieving the region's goals of high growth with stability. The LAC region experienced a growth spurt with equity during the first decade of the 21st Century. It is well understood that an unsustainable demand boom fueled by terms-of-trade improvements drove this growth acceleration episode, especially in South America. Unfortunately, terms of trade are no longer fueling growth, and the region s policymakers are in search of new sources of growth with stability. With the experience of East...

Sticky Feet: How Labor Market Frictions Shape the Impact of International Trade on Jobs and Wages
ISBN: 9781464802638 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The analysis in this report confirms the findings of previous studies that trade liberalization improves aggregate welfare and is in the long run associated with higher employment and wages. The analysis addresses a major gap in the literature, which has heretofore provided limited evidence about the trade-related adjustment costs faced by workers in developing countries and how they are affected by mobility costs. Labor market frictions reduce the potential gains from trade reform. For a tariff reduction in a given sector, the resulting change in relative prices raises real wages in some...
