Abstract

Protectionism constitutes a double threat. It can make recovery from the recession slower and reduce the growth potential of the international economy once recovery has taken hold.

How Do Shared Experiences of Economic Shocks Impact Refugees and Host Communities? Evidence from Afghan Refugees in Iran

Hoseini, Mohammad; Dideh, Mahsa Jahan (2022-01)

Using representative survey data including Iranians and Afghan refugees in Iran in 2011–2019, this paper explores the unequal impact of macroeconomic fluctuations due to Iran’s nuclear dispute on Afghan refugees and host communities. The paper finds that economic shock increases refugee’s exit and disproportionately reduces their consumption expenditure and aid received from the host community. In addition, bad and good economic cycles create asymmetric impacts. While negative shocks affect the economic outcomes of two communities homogenously, it hurts social cohesion between them. In contrast, economic recovery benefits refugees relatively more in terms of consumption and income, but the impact on social cohesion measures is insignificant. The findings also suggest that in turbulent economic times, both inter-community and intra-community inequalities go up.

Public Sector Employment and Compensation : An Assessment Framework

World Bank (2021-12-21)

This paper aims to provide a framework for conducting public sector employment and compensation assessments that can help develop evidence-based reforms. Such a framework is necessary given growing debt distress and the need for greater expenditure efficiency in many of the World Bank’s client countries, and also due to the urgency for addressing global challenges like pandemics, climate change, building human capital, and reducing inequality, all of which require a strong role for the public sector.

Jordan Economic Monitor, Fall 2021 : En Route to Recovery

World Bank (2021-10)

Jordan’s economy is showing a healthy recovery following a moderate contraction of 1.6 percent in 2020. Notwithstanding the restrictive pandemic measures, the economy managed to grow by 1.8 percent in the first half of 2021. Meanwhile, accommodative monetary policy by the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) as well as fiscal policy, continued to play an active role in supporting the economy during the pandemic, while inflation has remained low. Yet, the pandemic has left deep scars on Jordan’s labor market, exacerbating unemployment challenges, particularly for females, and the youth, which remained at an elevated level. Moreover, Jordan’s external accounts has been under pressure, reflecting the combined impact of unfavorable terms of trade, improved domestic demand and continued slack in travel receipts. Despite these pressures, the Central Bank of Jordan has been able to build up its gross foreign ...
