Asia is aging, although there is significant heterogeneity across subregions and economies. Population aging poses two strategic challenges for the region: sustaining economic growth and delivering old-age economic security. In this paper, we leverage the lifecycle perspective—that individuals’ consumption and labor income differ at each age—and the National Transfer Accounts database to construct and analyze key economic indicators. Our analysis confirms that demographic change will challenge the region’s future growth and increase the cost of funding the consumption of the elderly. We also find that it will have a substantial impact on the public finances of some Asian economies.
亚洲正在老龄化,尽管各次区域和经济体之间存在显著的异质性。人口老龄化给该地区带来了两个战略挑战:维持经济增长和提供老年经济保障。在本文中,我们利用生命周期视角(每个年龄段的个人消费和劳动收入不同)和国家转移账户数据库来构建和分析关键经济指标。我们的分析证实,人口结构的变化将挑战该地区未来的增长,并增加老年人消费的资金成本。我们还发现,这将对一些亚洲经济体的公共财政产生重大影响。

This study extends the recent debate on the rate of return on cattle rearing in India, triggered by Anagol, Etang, and Karlan (2017) and followed by others, to the Bangladeshi context and finds that the apparent paradox of widespread cattle rearing despite negative returns in India is absent in Bangladesh. We use a nationally representative two-year panel data for rural Bangladesh and find that the average and marginal returns on raising cows and bullocks are positive and high in both 2011 and 2015. We show that appreciation of the value of cattle is the major contributing factor to positive returns. The existence of cattle markets where cattle can be freely traded for slaughter, milk production, or for any other purpose—which is constrained to various degrees in India—is the key to high and positive returns in Bangladesh.
这项研究将最近由Anagol、Etang和Karlan(2017)引发并随后由其他人引发的关于印度养牛回报率的辩论扩展到了孟加拉国的背景下,并发现尽管印度的养牛回报为负,但孟加拉国却没有普遍养牛的明显悖论。我们使用了一个具有全国代表性的孟加拉国农村两年小组数据,发现2011年和2015年,饲养奶牛和公牛的平均和边际回报率都很高。我们表明,牛的价值升值是产生正回报的主要因素。牛市场的存在是孟加拉国高回报和正回报的关键,在那里,牛可以自由交易,用于屠宰、牛奶生产或任何其他目的——这在印度受到不同程度的限制。

This paper examines the effects of a mortgage interest rate subsidy on booms and busts in the housing market by analyzing the Housing Mortgage program in Mongolia. We find that the most recent housing boom in Mongolia occurred from the second quarter (Q2) of 2012 to first quarter (Q1) of 2014, and that the subsequent housing bust lasted 4 years. Both house-specific factors and macroeconomic variables had a significant influence on housing price dynamics. Mortgage interest rate semielasticity and real household income elasticity were estimated as −3 and 1.4, respectively. Dynamic analysis of the estimated vector error correction models suggests that the country’s policy intervention in the mortgage market—introducing an interest rate subsidy on mortgage loans for residential properties of up to 80 square meters—drove the recent housing boom in Mongolia.
本文通过分析蒙古的住房抵押贷款计划,考察了抵押贷款利率补贴对住房市场繁荣和萧条的影响。我们发现,蒙古最近的房地产繁荣发生在2012年第二季度至2014年第一季度,随后的房地产萧条持续了4年。住房特定因素和宏观经济变量都对房价动态产生了重大影响。抵押贷款利率半弹性和实际家庭收入弹性分别估计为-3和1.4。对估计向量误差校正模型的动态分析表明,该国对抵押贷款市场的政策干预——对80平方米以下的住宅物业的抵押贷款实行利率补贴——推动了蒙古最近的房地产繁荣。

Moving up the global value chain requires an enabling innovation ecosystem alongside economy-specific endowments, a mix of supportive policies in broad areas of infrastructure and institutions, and other enabling factors. Examining sample economies globally and in developing Asia, the empirical results suggest that during the transition from a low level of upgrading in a global value chain to a medium-level one, efforts should focus on increasing the scale of innovation inputs, allowing firms to improve in many areas of their capacity to innovate. To move higher up a global value chain, the design of innovation policies should gradually emphasize the production of technological, knowledge, and creative outputs.
全球价值链的上行需要一个有利的创新生态系统,以及特定于经济的禀赋、基础设施和机构等广泛领域的支持政策以及其他有利因素。通过对全球和亚洲发展中的样本经济体进行研究,实证结果表明,在全球价值链从低水平升级到中等水平升级的过程中,应将重点放在增加创新投入的规模上,使企业能够在许多领域提高创新能力。为了在全球价值链上向上移动,创新政策的设计应该逐渐强调技术、知识和创造性产出的生产。

The Asian Development Bank COVID-19 Policy Database recently added an entry on sector financial balances (SFBs). This addition to the policy database provides information for 35 economies on the financial positions of the private sector, government sector, and the rest of the world, which by construction add up to 0. Data used to calculate SFBs are obtained directly from flow-of-funds accounts. When this source is not available, we obtain data from the national accounts. We use SFBs to understand why the private sector balance moved into a large surplus in 2020. We argue that this surplus is a mirror image of the fiscal deficit.
亚洲开发银行新冠肺炎政策数据库最近增加了部门财务余额(SFB)条目。这一政策数据库的新增内容为35个经济体提供了私营部门、政府部门和世界其他地区的财务状况信息,按建筑业计算,这些信息加起来为0。用于计算SFB的数据直接从资金流动账户中获得。当没有这一来源时,我们从国民账户中获取数据。我们使用SFB来理解为什么私营部门的收支在2020年出现了巨大盈余。我们认为,这个盈余是财政赤字的镜像。

On the Two Catching-Up Mechanisms in Asian Development 论亚洲发展的两种追赶机制
IF 1.5 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-09-01 DOI: 10.1142/s0116110521500074

Existing studies identify two major underlying mechanisms behind East and Southeast Asia’s miraculous economic performance in the past 5 decades: accumulation and technological catching-up. This study investigates empirically the relative importance of these two mechanisms in Asian development based on a unified framework. Using canonical cross-economy panel data, the study arrives at three important findings. First, while the process of catching-up through capital accumulation played an important role worldwide, this mechanism was more salient in Asia than in other economies around the globe, especially during the region’s early phase of growth and development. Second, human capital formation had a significant positive effect on the technological catching-up process worldwide. In particular, human capital formation promoted technology adoption more strongly in Asia than in the rest of the world. Third, innovation has also been critical in facilitating recent growth in Asian economies. These results suggest that Asia’s capital-accumulation-driven growth in the early phase induced human capital formation and international technological transfers at later phases, with strong complementarities between these two types of capital. Asian economies likely went through three phases of catching-up, that is, capital accumulation, technological imitation, and then innovation. The experiences of these Asian economies in the last several decades provide critical lessons for latecomer growth and development.
现有研究确定了东亚和东南亚在过去50年中奇迹般的经济表现背后的两个主要潜在机制:积累和技术追赶。本研究基于一个统一的框架,实证研究了这两种机制在亚洲发展中的相对重要性。利用典型的跨经济面板数据,该研究得出了三个重要的发现。首先,尽管通过资本积累迎头赶上的过程在世界范围内发挥了重要作用,但这种机制在亚洲比全球其他经济体更为突出,尤其是在该地区增长和发展的早期阶段。第二,人力资本形成对世界范围内的技术追赶过程产生了显著的正向影响。特别是,人力资本的形成比世界其他地区更有力地促进了亚洲的技术采用。第三,创新在促进亚洲经济近期增长方面也发挥了关键作用。这些结果表明,亚洲早期资本积累驱动的增长在后期引发了人力资本的形成和国际技术转让,这两种资本之间具有很强的互补性。亚洲经济体可能经历了三个追赶阶段,即资本积累、技术模仿和创新。这些亚洲经济体在过去几十年中的经验为后来者的增长和发展提供了重要的教训。

Discouraged Worker Effect and Labor Market Behavior of Urban Married Women 城市已婚妇女的就业气馁效应与劳动力市场行为

The study investigates the importance of poor local labor market conditions in explaining the labor market behavior of married women in urban India. Using nationally representative employment data, we empirically test for the existence of a discouraged worker effect arising from either of two mechanisms: (i) unexplained gender wage gap, or (ii) degree of underemployment. A three-stage, district-level analysis of female labor market behavior was undertaken, and selectivity bias was controlled for by using censored probit in the second stage and trivariate probit with Geweke–Hajivassiliou–Keane smooth recursive simulator technique in the third stage of this multilevel framework. We find evidence that the wage gap discourages women from participating in the labor market and the prevalence of underemployment, in terms of overqualification by occupation, discourages them from exploring better job opportunities by making on-job search efforts.
该研究调查了当地劳动力市场条件差在解释印度城市已婚妇女劳动力市场行为中的重要性。使用具有全国代表性的就业数据,我们对两种机制中的任何一种产生的气馁工人效应的存在进行了实证检验:(i)无法解释的性别工资差距,或(ii)就业不足程度。对女性劳动力市场行为进行了三阶段、地区层面的分析,第二阶段采用截尾概率,第三阶段采用Geweke-Hajivassiliou-Keane平滑递归模拟器技术的三变量概率来控制选择性偏差。我们发现,有证据表明,工资差距阻碍了女性参与劳动力市场,而就业不足的普遍现象(就职业资历过高而言)阻碍了她们通过在职求职努力来寻找更好的工作机会。

This paper focuses on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)—a major final assembler in production—where studies and evidence on the role of the region in global value chains are limited. We seek to provide new evidence regarding the extent and patterns of international fragmentation in ASEAN. To do so, we derive the foreign value-added shares of final products for all global value chains of ASEAN. Using the Asian Development Bank’s multiregional input–output tables for 2000–2017, we document a series of stylized facts. The results show declining foreign value-added shares in ASEAN. Regional economic integration within ASEAN has increased, while value-added contributions vary widely across its members. We find evidence of increasing value-added contributions from emerging economies to ASEAN, whereas the contributions from advanced economies have declined.
本文的研究重点是东南亚国家联盟(ASEAN)——一个主要的生产总装商——关于该地区在全球价值链中的作用的研究和证据有限。我们试图提供有关东盟国际分裂程度和模式的新证据。为此,我们得出了东盟所有全球价值链的最终产品的外国增值份额。利用亚洲开发银行2000-2017年的多地区投入产出表,我们记录了一系列程式化的事实。结果显示,东盟的外资附加值份额在下降。东盟内部的区域经济一体化有所加强,而各成员国的增值贡献差异很大。我们发现,新兴经济体对东盟的附加值贡献不断增加,而发达经济体的贡献却有所下降。

Long-Term Dynamics of Poverty Transitions in India 印度贫困转型的长期动态
IF 1.5 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-09-01 DOI: 10.1142/s0116110521500049

I use a stochastic model to explore the dynamics of poverty in India from 1952 to 2006 and find that temporal transitions into and out of poverty are common. Model outcomes suggest that transitions out of poverty outnumber transitions into poverty in recent times, but that there is still a nontrivial proportion of individuals transitioning annually into poverty, highlighting the economic fragility of those near the poverty line. There is also a marked persistence of poverty over time, and although this has been slowly declining, past poverty remains a good predictor of current poverty. Particularly concerning in this context are the income trajectories of those in the bottom decile of the income distribution for whom escape from poverty appears infeasible given extant income dynamics. Finally, the dynamics suggest that transitional and persistent poverty are distinct phenomena that require distinct policy responses involving both missing markets and state action.
我使用一个随机模型来探索1952年至2006年印度的贫困动态,发现进入和摆脱贫困的时间过渡是常见的。模型结果表明,近年来摆脱贫困的人数超过了陷入贫困的人数,但每年仍有相当大比例的人陷入贫困,这凸显了贫困线附近人口的经济脆弱性。随着时间的推移,贫困也明显持续存在,尽管这一比例一直在缓慢下降,但过去的贫困仍然是当前贫困的一个很好的预测指标。在这方面特别令人关切的是收入分配最底层十分之一的人的收入轨迹,鉴于现有的收入动态,他们摆脱贫困似乎是不可能的。最后,动态表明,过渡贫困和持续贫困是不同的现象,需要不同的政策反应,包括缺失的市场和国家行动。

In India, the first official estimate of quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) is released approximately 7–8 weeks after the end of the reference quarter. To provide an early estimate of current quarter GDP growth, we construct Coincident Economic Indicators for India (CEIIs) using a sequentially expanding list of 6, 9, and 12 high-frequency indicators. These indicators represent various sectors, display high contemporaneous correlation with GDP, and track GDP turning points well. CEII-6 includes domestic economic activity indicators, while CEII-9 incorporates indicators of trade and services and CEII-12 adds financial indicators in the model. We include a financial block in CEII-12 to reflect the growing influence of the financial sector on economic activity. CEIIs are estimated using a dynamic factor model which extracts a common trend underlying the high-frequency indicators. The extracted trend provides a real-time assessment of the state of the economy and helps identify sectors contributing to economic fluctuations. Furthermore, GDP nowcasts using CEIIs show considerable gains in both in-sample and out-of-sample accuracy. In particular, we observe that our GDP growth nowcast closely tracks the recent slowdown in the Indian economy.
在印度,第一个官方季度国内生产总值(GDP)估计在参考季度结束后大约7-8周发布。为了提供当前季度GDP增长的早期估计,我们使用6、9和12个高频指标的顺序扩展列表构建了印度的同步经济指标(CEIIs)。这些指标代表了各个行业,与GDP显示出高度的同期相关性,并很好地跟踪了GDP的拐点。CEII-6纳入了国内经济活动指标,CEII-9纳入了贸易和服务指标,CEII-12在模型中增加了金融指标。我们在CEII-12中纳入了一个金融板块,以反映金融部门对经济活动日益增长的影响。cei是使用动态因子模型来估计的,该模型提取了高频指标背后的共同趋势。提取的趋势提供了对经济状况的实时评估,并有助于确定导致经济波动的部门。此外,使用cei的GDP临近预测在样本内和样本外精度上都显示出相当大的收益。我们特别注意到,我们的GDP增长预测与近期印度经济放缓密切相关。
