Описание: As the country that inspires the world with 'gross national happiness' development philosophy, Bhutan is striving to pursue its economic growth while committing to its core values of inclusive and green development. Even with robust economic growth rates, Bhutan's dependence on imports and hydropower revenues drives the country to search for self-reliant option to fuel the economy while further decarbonizing the economy. Electric vehicle is being explored as one of the key policies to introduce green mobility, reduce fossil fuel imports and put the country firmly on a green growth path. Globally, electric vehicles market and technology are still in the nascent stage but are developing rapidly. The automotive industry has adopted electrification as a pillar of future drive train technology. EV uptake is expected to increase significantly with ongoing improvements in technology and resulting cost decreases in the global market. This report aims to help Bhutan think through various technical and policy issues of introducing electric vehicles in its own context. It analyses a variety of factors that will impact adoption of electric vehicles from technical, market and financial feasibility to consumer awareness and stakeholders' capacity. It also addresses several policy questions which are at the heart of public debate such as affordability of the government to undertake the program, economic costs and benefits, distributional impact, fiscal, and macroeconomic implications. Drawing from vast international experiences, the report examines in great technical details how global cutting-edge technology like electric vehicles could be pursued in the context of developing economies with different socio-economic characteristics and constraints compared to advanced economies. It will help readers better grasp the technical, financial, economic and social challenges as well as opportunities in initiating electric vehicles program and provide practical recommendations that will be useful for policy makers in designing their own EV initiative.

Описание: The often-advocated view that the information technology revolution will change the world must stem from the basic premiss that invesent in IT has a visible impact on productivity and economic growth. But how can we measure this impact and how large is it? By surveying previous studies and by presenting new micro- and macroeconomic evidence, this collection shows that in recent years the use of IT in the production of goods and services has had a strong influence on productivity and economic growth in industrial and in newly industrialized countries. Yet developing countries seem neither to have invested in IT nor benefited from such investments to the same extent as industrial countries. There is concern that information is becoming a commodity, like income and wealth, by which countries are classified as rich and poor. The contributors to this volume argue that investment in infrastructure, physical capital, and education is the key to economic development. This is an old policy prescription in the economics of development. What is new is the suggestion that the IT content of these investments should be high. The use of IT is so widely spread throughout the world economy that no single country can avoid investing in this technology if it wants to improve the standard of living of its citizens. Besides providing citizens with access to IT and to IT education and training, governments should promote participation in the information society, thus generating a sufficiently strong demand base for information products. By developing advanced applications of IT, and by becoming a model for the private sector, governments can alter worker, firm, and consumer attitudes, and lower their costs of adopting IT. The use of IT, not necessarily its production, is what matters for economic development.

Описание: Recent analytical work trying to explain weak job creation and insufficient private sector dynamism in the Middle east and North Africa region point to formal and informal barriers to entry and competition. These barriers privilege a few -often unproductive- incumbents who enjoy a competition-edge due to their connections or ability to influence policy making and implementation. This report proposes to fill this policy and operational gap by answering the following question: What good governance features should be instilled in the design of economic policies and institutions to help shield them from capture, discretion and arbitrary implementation? More specifically, this report aims to move the debate and the rhetoric on privilege, capture and cronyism towards a more tractable and operational framework by: i) focusing on the systematic measurement of the various dimensions of policymaking that could lead to discretionary and unfair behavior; and ii) offering a menu of policy entry-points for policy makers to start addressing these issues and limit opportunities for capture, discretion and arbitrariness.

This inaugural report presents the findings of a new global investor survey of 1,000 foreign investors in developing countries, which will help fill existing gaps in investment climate data and knowledge. It measures global business perceptions concerning the role of various specific aspects of investment climates in developing countries, including investment incentives, entry regimes, linkage opportunities, political risk and investor protection guarantees, as well as international investment agreements. The report includes a set of policy research chapters exploring new frontiers in research and analysis on the following topics: -Outward FDI from Developing Countries -Tax Incentives and FDI in Developing Countries -FDI in Fragile and Conflict Countries -FDI and High-Growth Firms in Developing Countries
