50 years ago, World Bank President Robert McNamara promised to end poverty. Alleviation was to rely on economic growth, resulting in higher incomes stimulated by Bank loans processed by deskbound Washington staff, trickling down to the poorest. Instead, child poverty and homelessness are on the increase everywhere. In this book, anthropologist and former World Bank Advisor Glynn Cochrane argues that instead of Washington’s “management by seclusion,” poverty alleviation requires personal engagement with the poorest by helpers with hands-on local and cultural skills. Here, the author argues, the insights provided by anthropological fieldwork have a crucial role to play.

Описание: Policies Affecting Resource Allocation Across Tradable Sectors And Those Affecting The Incentives To Produce Tradable Activities Are Key Determinants Of Macroeconomic Balance And Growth. Computable General Equilibrium Models Have Made Significant Contributions To Both Types Of Policies. With Advancements In Computing Power And Software, These Models Have Become Easy To Implement And Are Now Widespread. The Question Then Is When And How To Formulate Them To Avoid The 'Black Box' Syndrome.This Book Seeks To Address These Issues Through Carefully Selected Essays That Analyse How To Model General Equilibrium Linkages In A Single Economy, Across Developing And Developed Economies, And Across Both Micro And Macro Policies. Micro Policies Examined Include Tariffs Quotas And Vers, The Choice Of Taxes To Maximize Government Revenue, Migration And Remittances, And The Political Economy Of Tariff Setting. Applications On Macro Policies Cover Capital Inflows, Real Exchange Rate Determination, And The Modeling Of The Effects Of Adjustment Policies On Income Distribution.The Book Provides Insights On The Development Of A Family Of Models For Diverse Policy Choices, Focusing On The Ways To Model The Following: Links Between Tradable And Non-Tradable Activities, Labor Markets, And Portfolio Choices Given Limited Capital Mobility. Selected Essays Are All Inspired By Specific Policy Problems, Including The Adaptation To External Shocks (I.E. Oil), Consequences Of Capital Inflows, Determinants Of Migration And Associated Remittances, The Productivity Of Foreign Aid, And Rent-Seeking Activities Under Trade Regimes With Non-Price Trade Restrictions. Examples In This Book Lay Out The Theoretical Foundations, Alongside A Variety Of Applications, To Help Formulate Coherent And Transparent Models For Policy Analysis. Archetype Economies Are Extensively Used To Show How Differences In Economic Structure Influence The Effects Of Policies. Graduate Students And Policy Analysts Interested In Modeling Will Find This A Useful Compendium Of Studies.

Описание: Despite for many years receiving the highest per capita aid worldwide, the economies of the West Bank and Gaza Strip have failed to achieve any lasting developmental outcomes and suffer from major weaknesses which undermine their very survival. This book argues that the dominant, mainstream approach to the study of aid and aid effectiveness is theoretically and empirically inadequate for a comprehensive understanding and analysis of the workings of aid in developing countries, particularly those undergoing conflict. This book examines the nature of donor operations in Palestine, highlighting the political and ideological determinants of aid allocation and effectiveness, and focussing on the role of trade-related donor assistance in Palestine, more commonly known as Aid for Trade. It discusses how such trade-related assistance is only another instance of donors working ‘around’ the conflict, as opposed to taking it into account; and how aid to Palestine cannot bring about significant improvement as long as the Palestinian economy is fundamentally affected by Israeli occupation, settlements and blockade. It argues that unless restructured and more carefully targeted, aid can only act as a temporary relief mechanism. Furthermore, the book sheds light on critical areas within Palestinian territories that are in need of development and require significant and immediate attention at both national and international level.
Domestic and international development strategies often focus on private ownership as a crucial anchor for long-term investment; the security of property rights provides a foundation for capitalist expansion. In recent years, Thailand's policies have been hailed as a prime example of how granting formal land rights to poor farmers in low-income countries can result in economic benefits. But the country provides a puzzle: Thailand faced major security threats from colonial powers in the nineteenth century and from communism in the twentieth century, yet only in the latter case did the government respond with pro-development tactics.
In Land and Loyalty, Tomas Larsson argues that institutional underdevelopment may prove, under certain circumstances, a strategic advantage rather than a weakness and that external threats play an important role in shaping the development of property regimes. Security concerns, he find, often guide economic policy. The domestic legacies, legal and socioeconomic, resulting from state responses to the outside world shape and limit the strategies available to politicians. While Larsson's extensive archival research findings are drawn from Thai sources, he situates the experiences of Thailand in comparative perspective by contrasting them with the trajectory of property rights in Japan, Burma, and the Philippines.
