ABSTRACT This article examines the impact of cross-border economic sanctions (CES) on the quality of national health – proxied by life expectancy. Structural gravity models are employed for a sample of 148 sanctioned countries (108 developing countries and 40 developed countries) during the 1995–2018 period. We consider various forms of sanction, including arms, military, trade, finance and travel. The results reveal that the imposition of sanctions, especially arm, financial, travel and other sanctions, has a significant negative effect on the national health of the targeted countries. The effects are largely heterogeneous across sanctioned countries in terms of their economic development. Furthermore, financial market development and institutional quality of the sanctioned countries critically affect the relationship between CES and national health. Particularly, more developed financial markets, the higher degree of financial openness and central bank independence, as well as higher institutional quality, help targeted countries alleviate the consequences of CES on national health. These empirical findings are expected to provide insightful lessons for economists and policymakers in the targeted countries facing the risk of economic degradation.
摘要本文研究了跨境经济制裁对国民健康质量的影响——以预期寿命为代表。结构重力模型用于1995-2018年期间148个受制裁国家(108个发展中国家和40个发达国家)的样本。我们考虑各种形式的制裁,包括武器、军事、贸易、金融和旅行。结果表明,实施制裁,特别是武器、金融、旅行和其他制裁,对目标国家的国民健康产生了重大负面影响。就受制裁国家的经济发展而言,其影响在很大程度上是异质的。此外,受制裁国家的金融市场发展和制度质量严重影响消费电子产品与国民健康之间的关系。特别是,更发达的金融市场、更高程度的金融开放和央行独立性,以及更高的制度质量,有助于目标国家减轻消费电子产品对国民健康的影响。这些实证研究结果有望为面临经济退化风险的目标国家的经济学家和政策制定者提供深刻的经验教训。

ABSTRACT Despite the successful transition into democracy in South Africa, poverty and inequality levels remain consistently high for an upper-middle-income country. The pace of human capital development continues to be inadequate to solve the socio-economic challenges. The objective of the study is to examine the effect of human capital formation represented by education attainment, on poverty and inequality in the Eastern Cape province. Using the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimator, the study investigates the long-run relationship between the variables. The study found that an increase in human capital leads to a decline in poverty levels. However, human capital is positively related to income inequality which is an indication of unequal economic opportunities and inequality in the education system. The study recommends that policies be introduced to reduce inequality in schools. Community involvement in improving the quality of schools is of utmost importance. Education policies such as school choice may have contributed to education inequality.
摘要尽管南非成功地向民主过渡,但作为一个中等偏上收入国家,贫困和不平等水平仍然居高不下。人力资本发展的步伐仍然不足以解决社会经济挑战。本研究的目的是考察以教育程度为代表的人力资本形成对东开普省贫困和不平等的影响。本研究使用集合均值群(PMG)估计量,研究了变量之间的长期关系。研究发现,人力资本的增加会导致贫困水平的下降。然而,人力资本与收入不平等呈正相关,这表明经济机会不平等和教育系统不平等。该研究建议采取政策来减少学校中的不平等现象。社区参与提高学校质量至关重要。择校等教育政策可能助长了教育不平等。

ABSTRACT In this article, I analyze why inequality can discourage investment. I derive my hypothesis from the theory of aspirations as a reference point. A more significant aspiration gap – the distance between the current state and the aspired state – leads to frustration and fewer incentives to invest. In study I, I use data from a longitudinal panel, exploiting environmental shocks to identify a plausibly exogenous source of variation for inequality. I combine it with an indirect measurement of aspirations using data on wealth, computed for the plausible reference group, defined as cells within the population, sharing similar observable characteristics. Finally, I use the variation in the total debt as the outcome variable. In study II, I use data from a specialized survey where shocks and aspirations are directly measured. I look at total debt as the outcome. Although the two tests are only partially conclusive, the evidence aligns with the central hypothesis.
摘要在这篇文章中,我分析了为什么不平等会阻碍投资。我的假设来源于作为参考点的志向理论。更大的愿望差距——当前状态和理想状态之间的距离——会导致沮丧和投资动机的减少。在研究I中,我使用了来自纵向面板的数据,利用环境冲击来确定不平等变化的一个看似外生的来源。我将其与使用财富数据的愿望的间接测量相结合,财富数据是为可信的参考群体计算的,定义为人群中的细胞,具有相似的可观察特征。最后,我使用总债务的变化作为结果变量。在第二项研究中,我使用了一项专门调查的数据,该调查直接衡量了冲击和愿望。我将债务总额视为结果。尽管这两项测试只是部分结论性的,但证据与中心假设一致。

ABSTRACT Expenditure patterns can be taken into consideration in determining the type of government assistance. Without adequate information on household expenditure patterns, cash transfers may not be effective in improving welfare. This study aims to examine the expenditure patterns of households receiving cash assistance in Indonesia. The expenditure pattern is estimated using the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS). Four groups of expenditure types for food were examined: rice, staple food, beverages, tobacco and alcoholic beverages. The result showed that the largest predicted expenditure is for the purchase of staple food. Income elasticity for staple food is relatively highest than all other types of food. On the other hand, the price elasticity of tobacco and alcoholic beverages is relatively inelastic (lowest) compared to other food products. These results indicate that the provision of cash transfers for poor households has the potential to increase household welfare through increasing staple food consumption.
在确定政府援助的类型时,可以考虑支出模式。如果没有关于家庭支出模式的充分资料,现金转移可能无法有效地改善福利。本研究旨在考察印尼接受现金援助的家庭的支出模式。使用二次几乎理想需求系统(QUAIDS)估计支出模式。研究了四组食品支出类型:大米、主食、饮料、烟草和酒精饮料。结果显示,最大的预测支出是购买主食。主食的收入弹性相对于所有其他类型的食物是最高的。另一方面,与其他食品相比,烟草和酒精饮料的价格弹性相对较弱(最低)。这些结果表明,向贫困家庭提供现金转移有可能通过增加主食消费来增加家庭福利。

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the determinants of external debt in 32 Asian developing and transitioning economies for the period 1995–2019. Estimation is carried out using the generalized method of moments (GMM), which is capable of dealing with potential endogeneity problems. The results show that in both the short- and long-run, economic growth and investment reduce external debt, whereas exchange rate, trade, and government expenditure increase external debt. Diagnostic tests confirm the reliability and consistency of our findings, which should be taken into account by policymakers for policy formulation and implementation. Based on our empirical findings, relevant policy implications, aimed at reducing external debt in the selected Asian developing and transitioning economies, are provided for policy consideration.
摘要本文调查了1995-2019年期间32个亚洲发展中经济体和转型经济体的外债决定因素。估计是使用广义矩方法(GMM)进行的,该方法能够处理潜在的内生性问题。结果表明,从短期和长期来看,经济增长和投资减少了外债,而汇率、贸易和政府支出增加了外债。诊断测试证实了我们研究结果的可靠性和一致性,决策者在制定和实施政策时应考虑到这一点。根据我们的实证研究结果,提供了旨在减少选定亚洲发展中经济体和转型经济体外债的相关政策影响,供政策考虑。

ABSTRACT This article maps the changing global conversation on virtual currencies (VCs) internationally And brings that to bear on the development of a suitable regulatory framework for VCs in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Through a review of recent international developments, the article notes a reversal in regulatory attitude towards VCs. This review suggests two emerging horizons of regulatory intervention. The first concerns the public issue of VCs to develop financial traceability and economic transparency – an arrangement that would be particularly relevant for developing countries with large informal economies. In particular, public VC issue raises follow-up questions of technological adequacy and the legal status of a means of payment guaranteed by the State. The second concerns privately issued VCs traded on independent platforms and focuses on the trade off between economic development, through a private market for VCs, and the risks connected to money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Here, a two-pronged system of ex ante licensing to private venture capitalists, coupled with ex post-sanctions, appears to be an emerging international standard for supporting economic development in countries marked by the preponderant weight of an underground economy.
摘要本文描绘了国际上关于虚拟货币(VC)的全球对话的变化,并将其与阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)制定合适的虚拟货币监管框架联系起来。通过对最近国际发展的回顾,文章指出了对风险投资监管态度的转变。这篇综述提出了监管干预的两个新兴领域。第一个问题涉及风险投资机构发展金融可追溯性和经济透明度的公共问题,这一安排对拥有大型非正规经济体的发展中国家尤其重要。特别是,公共风险投资问题引发了技术充分性和国家保障的支付手段的法律地位的后续问题。第二个问题涉及在独立平台上交易的私人发行的风险投资,重点关注通过风险投资私人市场实现的经济发展与洗钱和资助恐怖主义相关风险之间的权衡。在这方面,对私人风险投资家实行事前许可证和事后制裁的双管齐下的制度,似乎是支持地下经济占主导地位的国家经济发展的一种新兴国际标准。

The role of aid agencies within environmental cooperation in Congo Basin: facilitators or policy entrepreneurs? 援助机构在刚果盆地环境合作中的作用:促进者还是政策企业家?

Environmental cooperation in the Congo Basin region is facing a paradox as the region has an inflow of aid but deforestation and poverty continue to grow. We examine the role of aid agencies in this paradox, who we assume are policy entrepreneurs who influence and benefit from the process. To test these assumptions, we use policy entrepreneurship theory coupled with a comparative qualitative approach to conduct two case studies. The first case study is a climate change adaptation capacity building initiative with the German aid agency GIZ in the central role. We prove that GIZ led the project with high effectiveness, benefit from it but failed to align the initiative’s goals with the local needs. The second case study is the Congo Basin Forest Partnership (CBFP), which functions without an aid agency in the central role. We observe that although the CBFP’s actions strongly matched local needs, it lacked some effectiveness and could not yield relevant policy outcomes. Therefore, we suggest that suboptimal institutions meeting a minimum standard in both management and orientation toward local needs should be built.

刚果盆地地区的环境合作正面临一个悖论,因为该地区有援助流入,但森林砍伐和贫困仍在继续增长。我们研究了援助机构在这一悖论中的作用,我们认为他们是影响这一过程并从中受益的政策企业家。为了检验这些假设,我们使用政策创业理论和比较定性方法进行了两个案例研究。第一个案例研究是一项由德国援助机构GIZ发挥核心作用的气候变化适应能力建设倡议。我们证明,GIZ高效地领导了该项目,从中受益,但未能将该倡议的目标与当地需求相一致。第二个案例研究是刚果盆地森林伙伴关系,该伙伴关系在没有援助机构发挥核心作用的情况下运作。我们观察到,尽管CBFP的行动与当地需求非常匹配,但它缺乏一些有效性,无法产生相关的政策结果。因此,我们建议建立在管理和面向当地需求方面都达到最低标准的次优机构。文章历史记录2021年2月5日收到2021年5月24日接受

The United Arab Emirates as a global donor: what a decade of foreign aid data transparency reveals 阿拉伯联合酋长国作为全球捐助国:十年来对外援助数据的透明度揭示了什么
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-01-01 DOI: 10.1080/21665095.2021.1883453

ABSTRACT The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has become a leading contributor of foreign aid, in terms of percentage of gross national income as well as in total amount. Historically, Emirati aid was opaque, and little was known about the foreign aid portfolio. This changed after 2009 when the UAE began to submit detailed, project-level data to the Development Assistance Committee of the OECD. Based on a decade of aid transparency, this article carries out an examination of the political economy of aid provided by the UAE, comparing its portfolio to other donor countries. Particular attention is paid to analyzing three primary recipients of its aid (Egypt, Serbia and Yemen) and the implicit motivations driving those decisions. The majority of Emirati aid to these three countries was granted as general budgetary support, often in tandem with efforts to achieve political, economic and/or military aims. Based on the findings, an evaluation is made regarding Emirati narratives of South-South cooperation and its seeking of mutual benefit as well as critiques put forward within the literature countering this. In addition to critically assessing the details of an under-researched aid portfolio, this paper highlights areas for further study to deepen our understanding of the UAE’s foreign aid.
阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)已成为对外援助的主要贡献者,无论是在国民总收入的百分比还是在总额上。从历史上看,阿联酋的援助是不透明的,外界对其对外援助组合知之甚少。这种情况在2009年之后发生了变化,当时阿联酋开始向经合组织发展援助委员会提交详细的项目级数据。基于十年的援助透明度,本文对阿联酋提供的援助的政治经济学进行了研究,并将其投资组合与其他捐助国进行了比较。特别注意分析其援助的三个主要受援国(埃及、塞尔维亚和也门)以及推动这些决定的隐含动机。阿联酋向这三个国家提供的援助大部分是作为一般预算支助提供的,往往与实现政治、经济和(或)军事目标的努力同时进行。根据研究结果,对阿联酋关于南南合作及其寻求互利的叙述进行了评估,并在文献中提出了反对这一点的批评。除了批判性地评估一个研究不足的援助组合的细节外,本文还强调了进一步研究的领域,以加深我们对阿联酋外援的理解。

In addition to critically assessing the details of an under-researched aid portfolio, this paper highlights areas for further study to deepen our understanding of the UAE’s foreign aid.","PeriodicalId":37781,"journal":{"name":"Development Studies Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"49 - 62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21665095.2021.1883453","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45173156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Advanced countries have pledged to mobilize additional financial resources to developing countries, including funding from multiple sources other than official development assistance (ODA), known as foreign aid. However, the effect of the novel coronavirus pandemic has raised doubts about the feasibility of such a pledge, highlighting, once again, the possible role of ODA and the importance of explaining its allocation, which could be of vital relevance for understanding its effectiveness. This study analyzes a vast number of bilateral and multilateral donors by applying a novel methodology in the context of aid allocation – principal-component factor analysis – covering the period 1990–2015. The results revealed four distinct clusters of donors: (i) the proportionally largest Western European donors, characterized by a significant number of beneficiaries, especially low-income countries; (ii) donors that are predominantly driven by structural links with recipients, especially links derived from colonial connections; (iii) a group of mainly Eastern European donors who are engaged with lower-income countries in Eastern Europe and Western Asia; and (iv) a group of Asian and Oceanian donors that select their partners mainly based on the geographical proximity criterion.
摘要发达国家承诺为发展中国家调动更多的财政资源,包括来自官方发展援助(ODA)以外的多种来源的资金,即外国援助。然而,新型冠状病毒大流行的影响使人们对这一承诺的可行性产生了怀疑,再次强调了官方发展援助的可能作用以及解释其分配的重要性,这可能对理解其有效性至关重要。这项研究通过在1990-2015年期间的援助分配背景下应用一种新的方法——主要成分因素分析——对大量双边和多边捐助者进行了分析。结果显示有四类不同的捐助者:(一)按比例最大的西欧捐助者,其特点是受益人数众多,特别是低收入国家;(ii)捐助者主要受与受援者的结构性联系的驱动,特别是来自殖民地关系的联系;三与东欧和西亚低收入国家合作的一组主要是东欧捐助者;四一组亚洲和大洋洲捐助者,主要根据地理邻近标准选择其合作伙伴。
