Download or read book Remittances and Development written by Pablo Fajnzylber and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008-02-08 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workers' remittances have become a major source of financing for developing countries and are especially important in Latin America and the Caribbean, which is at the top of the ranking of remittance receiving regions in the world. While there has been a recent surge in analytical work on the topic, this book is motivated by the large heterogeneity in migration and remittance patterns across countries and regions, and by the fact that existing evidence for Latin America and the Caribbean is restricted to only a few countries, such as Mexico and El Salvador. Because the nature of the phenomenon varies across countries, its development impact and policy implications are also likely to differ in ways that are still largely unknown. This book helps fill the gap by exploring, in the specific context of Latin America and Caribbean countries, some of the main questions faced by policymakers when trying to respond to increasing remittances flows. The book relies on cross-country panel data and household surveys for 11 Latin American countries to explore the development impact of remittance flows along several dimensions: growth, poverty, inequality, schooling, health, labor supply, financial development, and real exchange rates.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international response to opportunities and risks arising from globalization has been incomplete and uneven. But a proactive approach by a network of institutions could correct existing asymmetries and build a rights-based international social agenda. Globalization and Development provides a historical overview of economic development in the Latin America and Caribbean region - and proposes an economic and noneconomic agenda that addresses disparity, respects diversity, and fosters complementarity among regional, national, and international institutions. "This book provides a profound analysis of key problems facing the global economic order. Equally important, the agenda put forward provides perceptive food for thought for all who are committed to overcoming the fundamental asymmetries that pervade the world economy today. It recognizes that success in creating a better global order must go beyond the topics that have been at the center of discussion in the past: There must be an adequate supply of global public goods, and we need to incorporate at the global level values that we often take for granted at the national level--a commitment to global democracy, global citizenship, and global social justice."

Part I outlines the region's economic performance in 2017 and analyses trends in the early months of 2018, as well as the outlook for the rest of the year.

Part II of this edition, which has three chapters, analyses the dynamics of investment and its determinants, with a view to identifying the different variables on which public policy can act to influence the trajectory of investment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In mid-2011, conditions deteriorated in the industrialized economies. Early in the year, instability in North Africa combined with other factors to push up fuel prices. Then, in March, the tragedy of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan damaged global production chains. Although the impacts of these factors eased in the second semester, concern mounted over the threat of default in Greece, Ireland and Portugal and the repercussions of such an event for larger European economies. In late July, the difficulties in securing congressional approval on the United States public debt ceiling added to the volatility prevailing in financial markets. The downgrading of the United States' sovereign debt rating for the first time ever and lacklustre economic growth rates in the euro area and the United States added to the uncertainty.
