dc.description.abstract	This paper explores the linkage between income growth rates and foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows. So far the evidence is rather mixed, as no robust relationship between FDI and income growth has been established. The authors argue that countries need a sound business environment in the form of good government regulations to be able to benefit from FDI. Using a comprehensive data set for regulations, they test this hypothesis and find evidence that excessive regulations restrict growth through FDI only in the most regulated economies. This result holds true for different specifications of the econometric model, including instrumental variable regressions.	en

Shock Waves : Managing the Impacts of Climate Change on Poverty

Hallegatte, Stephane; Bangalore, Mook; Bonzanigo, Laura; Fay, Marianne; Kane, Tamaro; Narloch, Ulf; Rozenberg, Julie; Treguer, David; Vogt-Schilb, Adrien (2016)

Ending poverty and stabilizing climate change will be two unprecedented global achievements and two major steps toward sustainable development. But the two objectives cannot be considered in isolation: they need to be jointly tackled through an integrated strategy. This report brings together those two objectives and explores how they can more easily be achieved if considered together. It examines the potential impact of climate change and climate policies on poverty reduction. It also provides guidance on how to create a “win-win” situation so that climate change policies contribute to poverty reduction and poverty-reduction policies contribute to climate change mitigation and resilience building. The key finding of the report is that climate change represents a significant obstacle to the sustained eradication of poverty, but future impacts on poverty are determined by policy choices: rapid, inclusive, and climate-informed development can prevent most short-term impacts whereas immediate pro-poor, emissions-reduction policies can drastically limit long-term ones.

Informe sobre el desarrollo mundial 2021 : Datos para una vida mejor

World Bank (2021-03-24)

El crecimiento sin precedentes de los datos y su omnipresencia en nuestras vidas son señales de que la revolución de los datos está transformando el mundo de hoy. Sin embargo, buena parte de su valor continúa sin aprovecharse. Los datos recopilados para un propósito tienen el potencial de generar un valor económico y social en aplicaciones muy diferentes de las previstas inicialmente. No obstante, se interponen muchos obstáculos en el camino: desde incentivos que no están alineados con las necesidades y sistemas de datos incompatibles hasta una falta de confianza generalizada. En el Informe sobre el desarrollo mundial 2021: Datos para una vida mejor, se analiza el enorme potencial que ofrece este nuevo panorama para mejorar las vidas de las personas pobres, y, al mismo tiempo, se reconoce que los datos también pueden causar daños a las personas, las empresas y las sociedades. Para resolver esta tensión entre el potencial útil y el potencial nocivo de los datos, se insta a forjar un nuevo contrato social que permita la utilización y reutilización de los datos para crear ...

The Challenge of Establishing World-Class Universities

Salmi, Jamil (2009)

There are many important questions to ask about the widespread push toward world-class status for universities around the world. Why is 'world-class' the standard to which a nation should aspire to build at least a subset of its tertiary education system? Might many countries be better served by developing the most locally relevant system possible, without concern for its relative merits in a global comparison? Is the definition of "world-class" synonymous with "elite Western" and therefore inherently biased against the cultural traditions of tertiary education in non-Western countries? Are only research universities world-class, or can other types of tertiary education institutions (such as teaching universities, polytechnics, community colleges, and open universities) also aspire to be among the best of their kind in an international perspective? To answer these questions, ...
