Category : Apertura economica - Turquia
Languages : en
Pages : 73
Book Description
Given Turkey's already extensive trade liberalization, a move to uniform external incentives would bring most of the benefits of full trade liberalization. Moreover, it is not enough to have piecemeal reform of tariffs or export susidies alone. Harmonizing Turkey's already low tariffs to the European Community's tariff structure will improve Turkey's welfare only if Turkey at the same time removes or reduces its export subsidies.

Structural Reforms and Economic Performance in Advanced and Developing Countries
Author: Mr.Jonathan David Ostry
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1589068181
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
This volume examines the impact on economic performance of structural policies-policies that increase the role of market forces and competition in the economy, while maintaining appropriate regulatory frameworks. The results reflect a new dataset covering reforms of domestic product markets, international trade, the domestic financial sector, and the external capital account, in 91 developed and developing countries. Among the key results of this study, the authors find that real and financial reforms (and, in particular, domestic financial liberalization, trade liberalization, and agricultural liberalization) boost income growth. However, growth effects differ significantly across alternative reform sequencing strategies: a trade-before-capital-account strategy achieves better outcomes than the reverse, or even than a "big bang"; also, liberalizing the domestic financial sector together with the external capital account is growth-enhancing, provided the economy is relatively open to international trade. Finally, relatively liberalized domestic financial sectors enhance the economy's resilience, reducing output costs from adverse terms-of-trade and interest-rate shocks; increased credit availability is one of the key mechanisms.

Agricultural Pricing and Environmental Degradation
Author: Edward Barbier
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Agricultural conservation
Languages : en
Pages : 23
Book Description
Changes in pricing policies are not enough to encourage poor farmers to reduce resource degradation. Other approaches are also needed, such as providing better research and extension advice, improving property rights and management, and establishing more secure tenure or access rights. Just because we do not always understand the economic and social factors determining incentive effects does not mean they do not exist.

Book Description
Logistics management (to improve asset productivity and respond more quickly to volatile changes in customer preferences) enables many organizations to conduct their business with minimal inventories - by outsourcing intermediate production to enterprises in countries where factor costs are lower. Developing countries can capitalize on the trends only if they substantially improve their infrastructure, liberalize their regulations, and master modern logistics management techniques.

Imports, Exports, and Industrial Performance in India, 1970-88
Author: M. Ataman Aksoy
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Comercio exterior - India
Languages : en
Pages : 46
Book Description
Macroeconomic and trade policies must change significantly to shift India's economy to a more export- oriented path - both to overcome foreign exchange shortages and to rely more on external demand for industrial output. High elasticities in the manufacturing sector indicate that the economy would also respond favorably to changes in incentives.

The Political Economy of Trade Policy
Author: Robert C. Feenstra
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 9780262061865
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
This collection of papers by former students and colleagues celebrates the profound impact that Jagdish Bhagwati has had on the field of international economics over the past three decades. Bhagwati, who is the Arthur Lehman Professor of Economics at Columbia University, has made pathbreaking contributions to the theory of international trade and commercial policy, including immiserizing growth, domestic distortions, economic development, and political economy. His success and influence as a teacher and mentor is widely recognized among students at both MIT and Columbia, and as founder of the Journal of International Economics, he has encouraged research on many questions of theoretical and policy relevance. The political economy of trade policy, Bhagwati's most recent area of interest, is the theme of this collection which addresses salient topics including market distortions, income distribution, and the political process of policy-making. Sections and Contributors Market Distortions, T. N. Srinivasan. Paul A. Samuelson. Paul R. Krugman * Trade and Income Distribution, Douglas A. Irwin. Richard A. Brecher and Ehsan U. Choudri. Robert C. Feenstra and Gordon H. Hanson. Earl L. Grinols * Perspectives on Political Economy, Robert E. Baldwin. Peter Diamond * Models of Political Economy and Trade, Gene M.
