Economic development of a remote, mountainous region poses a challenge anywhere. Based on field research and documentary evidence, this article examines how such a development challenge has been addressed in Daocheng county, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan province. In doing so, it investigates the different forms of economic development, how such development comes about, and the role played by government in economic development. The article also probes the broader socioeconomic consequences of economic development. The fact that Daocheng is a predominantly Tibetan county adds a nationality dimension to the issue of economic development.
偏远山区的经济发展给任何地方都带来了挑战。基于实地调研和文献证据,本文考察了四川省甘孜藏族自治州稻城县如何应对这一发展挑战。在此过程中,它研究了经济发展的不同形式,这种发展是如何产生的,以及政府在经济发展中所扮演的角色。文章还探讨了经济发展的更广泛的社会经济后果。稻城是一个以藏族为主的县,这一事实为经济发展问题增添了民族因素。

Global Value Chain (GVC), The full range of activities (design, production, marketing, distribution, and support to the final consumer, etc.) that are divided among multiple firms and workers across geographic spaces to bring a product from its conception to its end use and beyond. Most of the countries in south Asia and southeast Asia such as Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, India, and Bangladesh economics depend on the GVC’s participation. Especially the production and service sector in the Small and Medium Enterprises of each country has linked with the GVC. Small and Medium – size enterprises (SME) have played a major role in the country's economy and it is the country’s backbone. Therefore, if some factors affecting the SME sector it is also directly affected positively or negatively to the relevant country’s economic developments. Considering the latest studies and research, the impact of the Global value chain on the performance of SME’s, we identified negative and positive relations with the SME sector of the Asian region countries. Here in this paper, we analyzed the five research papers published by the Asian Development Bank in 2021 about how the global value chain impacts Small and Medium – size businesses in the countries of Indonesia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, and Thailand.
全球价值链(Global Value Chain, GVC),指跨越地理空间的多家公司和工人之间的一系列活动(设计、生产、营销、分销和对最终消费者的支持等),将产品从概念带到最终用途甚至更远的地方。南亚和东南亚的大多数国家,如斯里兰卡、越南、印度尼西亚、菲律宾、马来西亚、印度和孟加拉国的经济都依赖于全球价值链的参与。特别是各国中小企业的生产和服务部门都与全球价值链联系在一起。中小企业在国家经济中扮演着重要的角色,是国家的中坚力量。因此,如果一些因素影响到中小企业部门,它也会直接对相关国家的经济发展产生积极或消极的影响。考虑到最新的研究和研究,全球价值链对中小企业绩效的影响,我们确定了与亚洲地区国家中小企业部门的负和正关系。在本文中,我们分析了亚洲开发银行在2021年发表的关于全球价值链如何影响印度尼西亚、越南、斯里兰卡和泰国等国中小企业的五篇研究论文。

The aim of this paper is to examine and conduct a comparative economic analysis between Pakistan and Bangladesh based on different economic indicators from 1971 to 2020. The methodology used in this study is primarily qualitative, with data mainly obtained from secondary sources. The findings of the study suggested that in terms of economic and social development, Bangladesh clearly surpassed Pakistan in all the domains. Bangladesh’s progressive and consistent economic approach with emphasis on economic empowerment of their population was the key towards Bangladesh’s success. Bangladesh dominated the following economic indicators: Current account balance, GDP growth rate, GDP per capita growth rate, and social development. In contrast, Pakistan lacked behind due to immersive political and economic instability caused by inconsistent political regimes and economic policies. The findings revealed that Pakistan’s: Exports % of GDP, Trade balance, Net income, Current account balance, GDP annual growth rate, GDP per capita annual growth rate, portrayed better performance in the first economic phase (1971-2000) than in the second economic phase (2000-2020).
本文的目的是根据1971年至2020年的不同经济指标,对巴基斯坦和孟加拉国进行比较经济分析。本研究中使用的方法主要是定性的,数据主要来自二手来源。研究结果表明,就经济和社会发展而言,孟加拉国在所有领域都明显超过巴基斯坦。孟加拉国的进步和一贯的经济方针强调赋予其人口经济权力,这是孟加拉国取得成功的关键。孟加拉国主导了以下经济指标:经常账户余额、GDP增长率、人均GDP增长率和社会发展。相比之下,巴基斯坦由于不一致的政治制度和经济政策导致的沉浸式政治和经济不稳定而落后。研究结果显示,巴基斯坦的出口占GDP的百分比、贸易余额、净收入、经常账户余额、GDP年增长率、人均GDP年增长率在第一经济阶段(1971-2000)比在第二经济阶段(2000-2020)表现得更好。

This study attempts to examine the dynamics and trajectories of tourism, agriculture, import, textiles. COVID-19 collected data from Asian countries and recognized websites the during the eruption. Although sri lanka and other countries will be self-sufficient by the end of 2019 by 2020, COVID-19 will have fallen globally since its inception. The analysis of the industries shows that they have changed globally and regionally.it has been acknowledged that the government will take steps to prevent tourists from visiting Sri Lanka, make agriculture self-sufficient by providing fertilizers for agriculture , simultaneously bring imports and call on those involved in the industry from time to time improve the sector and control the COVID-19 situation.it is also accepted as a low risk as there is no physical or social involvement in making unnecessary meetings and studies as the school is able to change the way people go to work and go to university online and do other things online. However, due to these COVID-19 conditions, priority has been given to study of the declines mentioned above, i.e. the above percentages indicate these depressions. Finally, this study confirms how people in south Asia behave and change in the tourism industry, agriculture, import conditions, and textile industries. Countries changed significantly during the COVID-19 eruption.
本研究试图考察旅游、农业、进口、纺织品的动态和轨迹。COVID-19在火山爆发期间从亚洲国家和公认的网站收集数据。虽然斯里兰卡和其他国家将在2019年底前实现自给自足,但到2020年,COVID-19将在全球范围内下降。行业分析表明,它们已经发生了全球性和区域性的变化。据悉,政府将采取措施,防止游客访问斯里兰卡,通过提供农业肥料实现农业自给自足,同时引进进口,并不时呼吁相关人士改善该行业,控制新冠疫情。它也被认为是一种低风险,因为学校能够改变人们在网上上班、上大学和做其他事情的方式,因此没有身体或社会参与不必要的会议和学习。然而,由于COVID-19的这些情况,优先考虑的是对上述下降的研究,即上述百分比表明了这些萧条。最后,本研究证实了南亚人在旅游业、农业、进口条件和纺织行业的行为和变化。在COVID-19爆发期间,国家发生了重大变化。

Commodity Booms and The Environment 商品繁荣与环境
Pub Date : 2021-08-06 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3900793
Daniel Da Mata, Mario Dotta
This paper studies how production responses from agricultural commodity booms affect greenhouse gas emissions, the primary cause of climate change. We show that Brazilian localities more exposed to booms substantially increase deforestation and agricultural fires, leading to higher emissions. The effects are significantly larger in Brazil’s Amazon. Commodity booms also induce production responses toward lower emissions, such as higher output per area. Taking into account higher- and lower-emission production responses, localities present an increase in net emissions. Moreover, our findings highlight that positive economic shocks may have unintended consequences, as high-exposed localities present lower compliance with an emission curbing policy.
本文研究了农产品繁荣的生产反应如何影响温室气体排放,这是气候变化的主要原因。我们表明,巴西的地方更容易受到繁荣的影响,大大增加了森林砍伐和农业火灾,导致更高的排放。这种影响在巴西的亚马逊地区要大得多。大宗商品繁荣还会促使生产部门对低排放做出反应,比如提高单位面积产量。考虑到高排放和低排放的生产响应,各地的净排放量增加。此外,我们的研究结果强调,积极的经济冲击可能会产生意想不到的后果,因为高暴露地区对减排政策的遵守程度较低。

Land Ceiling Legislations, Land Acquisition and De-industrialisation - Theory and Evidence from the Indian States 土地上限立法、土地征用和去工业化——来自印度各邦的理论和证据
Pub Date : 2021-07-21 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3890909
S. Pal, Prabal Roy Chowdhury, Zoya Saher
We examine the impact of legislated land ceiling size on capital investment and industrialisation in the Indian states. India’s land ceiling legislations of 1960s and 1970s imposed a ceiling on maximum land holdings and redistributed above-ceiling lands. These ceiling legislations, effectively implemented or not, had increased land fragmentation and increased transactions costs of acquiring land for both strategic and non-strategic reasons. States with smaller ceiling size are thus likely to have (i) lower capital investment; (ii) less factories and lower industrialisation too. Ceteris paribus, estimates of both relative (post-1971 ceiling legislations relative to pre-1971 ones) and aggregate effects of legislated ceiling size lend support to these hypotheses, after eliminating competing explanations. These results offer insights about how to reduce transactions costs of land acquisition, policies that we claim are also applicable beyond India.
我们研究了印度各邦法定土地上限规模对资本投资和工业化的影响。印度20世纪60年代和70年代的土地上限立法对最大土地拥有量设定了上限,并重新分配了上限以上的土地。这些最高限额立法,无论是否得到有效执行,都增加了土地碎片化,并增加了出于战略和非战略原因获得土地的交易成本。因此,债务上限较小的国家可能有:(1)较低的资本投资;(二)工厂减少,工业化程度降低。在其他条件不变的情况下,对立法上限规模的相对(1971年后的上限立法相对于1971年前的上限立法)和总体影响的估计,在排除了相互竞争的解释后,为这些假设提供了支持。这些结果提供了关于如何降低土地收购交易成本的见解,我们声称这些政策也适用于印度以外的地区。

T. Muhumuza
While the pandemic has created uncertainties about the shape of recovery, both at the domestic and global level, the Mauritian Government’s recovery programme reflected in the 2021-2022 budget provides some practical foresight necessary to protect the economy and build readiness for the post- COVID-19 era. This policy brief articulates the government recovery proposals in the 2021-2022 national budget. It places emphasis on building back better through three strategic areas namely: building and sustaining the private sector, rethinking of the tourism sector as a core pillar of the economy; and leveraging the potential of digitilation.
尽管大流行给国内和全球的复苏形态带来了不确定性,但毛里求斯政府在2021-2022年预算中反映的复苏方案提供了一些必要的实际远见,以保护经济并为后COVID-19时代做好准备。本政策简报阐述了政府在2021-2022年国家预算中提出的复苏建议。它强调通过三个战略领域更好地重建,即:建立和维持私营部门,重新考虑旅游业作为经济的核心支柱;利用数字化的潜力。

State Capacity Building in Zambia Amidst Shifting Political Coalitions and Ideologies 政治联盟和意识形态变化中的赞比亚国家能力建设
Pub Date : 2021-07-13 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3894485
Caesar Cheelo, M. Hinfelaar
This paper summarises research on the ‘pocket of effectiveness’ (POE) phenomenon in Zambia. It traces the development of three POEs within the Zambia context: the Ministry of Finance, the Bank of Zambia and Zambia Revenue Authority. This paper shows that the performance of these POEs largely depends on structural forces underpinning Zambia’s historical trajectory, namely the character of its political settlement, the structure of the economy and global neoliberalism, and of the shifting political coalitions that have governed the country during this period. Originally shaped by the nationalised copper industry and a state-led economy, these organisations were subject to a radical reorientation under the neoliberal reforms of the 1990s. Donor-supported ‘capacity-building’ efforts and the need to adhere to international standards disciplined Zambia’s economic institutions, moderated political interference from the executive and enabled them to be highly functional in a narrow organisational sense. They turned out over time to be politically unsustainable in the face of developmental failures, alternative ideological commitments, elite fragmentation and political populism. Overall, Zambia’s governing elite was only fully aligned with this project of technocratic neoliberalism for a relatively brief period during the mid-2000s that ended with the unfortunate death of the then-president. With Zambia’s politics becoming increasingly competitive and fragmentary, this mode of economic governance came into direct conflict with both political populism and a residual commitment to a more statist and planning-based approach within the bureaucracy. Despite the rhetoric of economic nationalism, the prioritisation of short-term survival strategies has undermined the quality of economic governance to the extent that rising levels of debt dependency now threaten both Zambia’s sovereignty and its developmental future.
本文综述了对赞比亚“效益口袋”现象的研究。它追溯了赞比亚境内三个POEs的发展情况:财政部、赞比亚银行和赞比亚税务局。本文表明,这些民营企业的表现在很大程度上取决于支撑赞比亚历史轨迹的结构性力量,即其政治解决方案的特征、经济结构和全球新自由主义,以及在此期间统治该国的不断变化的政治联盟。这些组织最初是由国有化的铜业和国家主导的经济形成的,在20世纪90年代的新自由主义改革下,这些组织受到了彻底的重新定位。捐助者支持的“能力建设”努力和遵守国际标准的需要使赞比亚的经济机构有纪律,缓和了行政部门的政治干预,使它们能够在狭隘的组织意义上发挥高度的作用。随着时间的推移,面对发展失败、另类意识形态承诺、精英分裂和政治民粹主义,它们在政治上是不可持续的。总体而言,赞比亚的统治精英只在2000年代中期相对短暂的一段时间内与这个技术官僚的新自由主义项目完全结盟,这段时间以当时的总统不幸去世而告终。随着赞比亚的政治竞争日益激烈和支离破碎,这种经济治理模式与政治民粹主义和官僚机构内部对更加中央集权和以计划为基础的方法的残余承诺直接冲突。尽管有经济民族主义的言论,但短期生存战略的优先级已经破坏了经济治理的质量,以至于债务依赖水平的上升现在威胁到赞比亚的主权和发展未来。
{"title":"State Capacity Building in Zambia Amidst Shifting Political Coalitions and Ideologies","authors":"Caesar Cheelo, M. Hinfelaar","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3894485","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3894485","url":null,"abstract":"This paper summarises research on the ‘pocket of effectiveness’ (POE) phenomenon in Zambia. It traces the development of three POEs within the Zambia context: the Ministry of Finance, the Bank of Zambia and Zambia Revenue Authority. This paper shows that the performance of these POEs largely depends on structural forces underpinning Zambia’s historical trajectory, namely the character of its political settlement, the structure of the economy and global neoliberalism, and of the shifting political coalitions that have governed the country during this period. Originally shaped by the nationalised copper industry and a state-led economy, these organisations were subject to a radical reorientation under the neoliberal reforms of the 1990s. Donor-supported ‘capacity-building’ efforts and the need to adhere to international standards disciplined Zambia’s economic institutions, moderated political interference from the executive and enabled them to be highly functional in a narrow organisational sense. They turned out over time to be politically unsustainable in the face of developmental failures, alternative ideological commitments, elite fragmentation and political populism.
