The developmental impact of institutions to establish and maintain secure property rights to land has been a subject of much debate. The authors review the literature on the impact of land administration interventions in specific contexts, highlighting the dependence of outcomes on the governance environment, the effectiveness of the state apparatus, and the distribution of socio-economic power. There is evidence, albeit not uniform, of enhancement of tenure security through land registration with benefits manifesting themselves in higher levels of investment and productivity and a reduced need to defend land rights. Land registration has also been shown to increase activity in land rental markets, leading to higher efficiency overall. Evidence of improved access to credit, due to formalization of land rights, is scant. Even in situations where land registration had positive benefits, the literature contains little rigorous analysis of cost-effectiveness and long-term sustainability of impacts. The authors conclude that formalization of land rights should not be viewed as a panacea and that interventions should be decided only after a careful diagnosis of the policy, social, and governance environment. If intervention is justified, the performance of land administration systems needs to be benchmarked in terms of coverage, cost-effectiveness, and quality of service provision.
建立和维护可靠的土地产权制度对发展的影响一直是一个备受争议的话题。作者回顾了有关特定背景下土地管理干预影响的文献,强调了结果对治理环境、国家机器的有效性和社会经济权力分配的依赖。有证据表明,虽然不是统一的,但通过土地登记加强了保有权的保障,其好处表现在更高水平的投资和生产力以及减少了捍卫土地权的需要。土地注册也被证明可以增加土地租赁市场的活动,从而提高整体效率。由于土地权利的正规化,获得信贷的机会得到改善的证据很少。即使在土地登记具有积极效益的情况下,文献也很少对成本效益和影响的长期可持续性进行严格分析。作者得出的结论是,土地权利的正规化不应被视为灵丹妙药,只有在仔细诊断了政策、社会和治理环境之后,才能决定干预措施。如果干预是合理的,则需要根据土地管理系统的覆盖范围、成本效益和提供服务的质量来衡量其表现。

In many developing countries less than half the population has access to formal financial services, and in most of Africa less than one in five households has access. Lack of access to finance is often the critical mechanism for generating persistent income inequality, as well as slower economic growth. Hence expanding access remains an important challenge across the world, leaving much for governments to do. However, not all government actions are equally effective and some policies can even be counterproductive. This paper sets out principles for effective government policy on broadening access, drawing on the available evidence and illustrating with examples. The paper concludes with directions for future research.
在许多发展中国家,只有不到一半的人口能够获得正规的金融服务,在大多数非洲国家,只有不到五分之一的家庭能够获得金融服务。缺乏融资渠道往往是造成持续收入不平等和经济增长放缓的关键机制。因此,在全球范围内扩大接入仍然是一项重要挑战,政府还有很多工作要做。然而,并非所有的政府行动都同样有效,有些政策甚至可能适得其反。本文根据现有证据并举例说明,阐述了有效的政府扩大准入政策的原则。最后提出了今后的研究方向。

Poverty is still a predominantly rural phenomenon. However, the context of rural poverty has been changing across the world, with high growth in some economies and stagnation in others. Furthermore, increased openness in many economies has affected the specific role of agricultural growth for rural poverty reduction. This paper revisits an old question : how does growth and poverty reduction come about if most of the poor live in rural areas and are dependent on agriculture? What is the role of agricultural and rural development in this respect? focusing on Sub Saharan Africa, and using economic theory and the available evidence, the author comes to the conclusion that changing contexts has meant that agricultural growth is only crucial as an engine for growth in particular settings, more specifically in landlocked, resource poor countries, which are often also characterized by relatively low potential for agriculture. However, extensive market failures in key factor markets and likely spatial effects give a remaining crucial role for rural development policies, including focusing on agriculture, to assist the inclusion of the rural poor in growth and development. How to overcome these market failures remains a key issue for further research.
贫困仍然是一个主要的农村现象。然而,世界各地农村贫困的情况一直在变化,一些经济体高增长,另一些经济体停滞不前。此外,许多经济体开放程度的提高影响了农业增长对农村减贫的具体作用。本文重温了一个古老的问题:如果大多数贫困人口生活在农村地区并依赖农业,增长和减贫如何实现?农业和农村发展在这方面的作用是什么?作者以撒哈拉以南非洲为研究对象,运用经济学理论和现有证据得出结论:不断变化的环境意味着,农业增长只有在特定环境下,特别是在内陆资源贫乏的国家,才具有至关重要的增长引擎作用,而这些国家的农业发展潜力往往也相对较低。然而,由于关键要素市场的广泛市场失灵和可能的空间效应,农村发展政策,包括以农业为重点,在帮助农村穷人参与增长和发展方面仍然发挥着至关重要的作用。如何克服这些市场失灵仍然是一个需要进一步研究的关键问题。

Can survey evidence shed light on spillovers from foreign direct investment 调查证据能否揭示外国直接投资的溢出效应

B. Javorcik
Although some economists remain skeptical of the existence of positive externalities associated with Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), many countries spend large sums attracting foreign investors in the hope of benefiting from knowledge spillovers. Data collected through enterprise surveys conducted in the Czech Republic and Latvia suggest that the entry of multinationals affects domestic enterprises in the same industry or in upstream or downstream sectors through multiple channels. Some of these channels represent true knowledge spillovers while others have positive or negative effects on domestic producers in other ways. The relative magnitudes of these channels depend on host country conditions and the type of FDI inflows, which explains the seemingly inconsistent findings of the literature. The focus of the debate should shift from attempting to generalize about whether or not FDI leads to productivity spillovers to determining under what conditions it can do so.
尽管一些经济学家仍然对与外国直接投资(FDI)相关的正外部性的存在持怀疑态度,但许多国家花费大量资金吸引外国投资者,希望从知识溢出中受益。通过在捷克共和国和拉脱维亚进行的企业调查收集的数据表明,跨国公司的进入通过多种渠道影响同行业或上下游部门的国内企业。其中一些渠道代表了真正的知识溢出,而另一些渠道则以其他方式对国内生产者产生积极或消极的影响。这些渠道的相对规模取决于东道国的条件和外国直接投资流入的类型,这解释了文献中看似不一致的发现。辩论的焦点应该从试图概括外国直接投资是否会导致生产率溢出,转向确定在什么条件下可以这样做。

Can Biological Factors Like Hepatitis B Explain the Bulk of Gender Imbalance in China? A Review of the Evidence 乙肝等生物学因素能解释中国性别失衡的主要原因吗?证据回顾

A recent study challenges the assumption that the large deficit of girls in East and South Asia reflects the preference for sons, suggesting that much of the deficit as much as 75 percent in China is attributable to hepatitis B (HBV). The claim is inconsistent with the results of a study based on a large medical data set from Taiwan (China), which indicates that HBV infection raises a woman's probability of having a son by only 0.25 percent. In addition, demographic data from China show that the only groups of women who have elevated probabilities of bearing sons are those who have already borne daughters. This pattern makes it difficult to see how any biological factor can explain a large part of the imbalance in China's sex ratios at birth, unless it can be shown that it somehow selectively affects those who have borne girls or causes them to first bear girls and then boys. The Taiwanese example suggests that this is not the case with HBV, the impact of which is unaffected by the sex composition of previous births. The data thus support the cultural rather than the biological explanation for gender imbalance.
最近的一项研究挑战了东亚和南亚女孩的大量不足反映了重男轻女的假设,表明中国高达75%的女孩不足可归因于乙型肝炎(HBV)。这一说法与一项基于台湾(中国)大量医疗数据集的研究结果不一致,该研究表明,HBV感染使女性生儿子的可能性仅提高0.25%。此外,来自中国的人口统计数据显示,只有那些已经生过女儿的女性生男孩的可能性更高。这种模式使得很难理解任何生物学因素如何解释中国出生性别比失衡的很大一部分,除非能证明它以某种方式选择性地影响了那些生了女孩的人,或者导致他们先生女孩后生男孩。台湾的例子表明,乙肝病毒的情况并非如此,其影响不受先前出生的性别构成的影响。因此,这些数据支持文化而不是生物学对性别失衡的解释。

Industrial Location in Developing Countries 发展中国家的工业区位

Despite a diminishing role in industrial countries, the manufacturing sector continues to be an engine of economic growth in most developing countries. This article surveys the evidence on the determinants of industry location in developing countries. It also employs micro data for India and Indonesia to illustrate recent spatial dynamics of manufacturing relocation within urban agglomerations. Both theory and empirical evidence suggest that agglomeration benefits, market access, and infrastructure endowments in large cities outweigh the costs of congestion, higher wages, and land prices. Despite this evidence, many countries have tried to encourage industrial firms to locate in secondary cities or other lagging areas. Cross-country evidence suggests that fiscal incentives to do so rarely succeed. They appear to influence business location decisions among comparable locations, but the result may be a negative-sum game between regions and inefficiently low tax rates, which prevent public goods from being funded at sufficiently high levels. Relocation tends to be within and between agglomerations rather than from large cities to smaller cities or lagging regions. Rather than provide subsidies and tax breaks, policymakers should focus on streamlining laws and regulations to make the business environment more attractive.
尽管制造业在工业国家的作用日益减弱,但它仍然是大多数发展中国家经济增长的动力。本文调查了发展中国家产业区位决定因素的证据。它还采用了印度和印度尼西亚的微观数据来说明最近城市群内制造业迁移的空间动态。理论和实证证据都表明,大城市的集聚效益、市场准入和基础设施禀赋超过了拥堵、更高工资和土地价格的成本。尽管有这些证据,许多国家仍试图鼓励工业公司在二线城市或其他落后地区落户。跨国家的证据表明,这样做的财政激励很少成功。它们似乎影响了可比地区之间的企业选址决策,但结果可能是地区之间的负和博弈和低效的低税率,这阻碍了公共产品获得足够高水平的资金。迁移倾向于在城市群内部和之间进行,而不是从大城市向较小城市或落后地区迁移。政策制定者应该把重点放在简化法律法规上,而不是提供补贴和税收减免,以使商业环境更具吸引力。

What can countries in other regions learn from social security reform in Latin America 其他地区的国家可以从拉丁美洲的社会保障改革中学到什么
IF 8.1 1区 经济学 Q1 DEVELOPMENT STUDIES Pub Date : 2007-10-04 DOI: 10.1093/WBRO/LKM011

About a dozen countries in Latin America have enacted reforms that include elements being contemplated elsewhere, including the partial privatization of social security. It is not easy to draw universal lessons for social security reform from the experience of countries such as Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, however, where sizeable public pension systems went bankrupt before the populations aged, mainly because of mismanagement. Most developing economies have much smaller social security systems. Relatively well managed systems in industrial countries face problems that are long term in nature and have been brought about by an aging population. The experiences of Latin America nevertheless offer some general lessons for countries in other parts of the world. These lessons relate to changes in labor market incentives accompanying reforms and how workers react to them, government actions that have met with success in managing the transition to funded pensions, and the expectations of individuals from social security systems. Latin America’s reforms suggest that the most effective approach is to keep payroll taxes low, governments solvent, and social security systems focused on providing reasonable insurance against poverty in old age.
拉丁美洲大约有十几个国家已经实施了改革,其中包括其他地方正在考虑的因素,包括社会保障的部分私有化。然而,要从阿根廷、智利和墨西哥等国的经验中得出社会保障改革的普遍教训并不容易,在这些国家,规模庞大的公共养老金体系在人口老龄化之前就破产了,主要原因是管理不善。大多数发展中经济体的社会保障体系都要小得多。工业国家管理相对良好的系统面临着人口老龄化带来的长期性问题。然而,拉丁美洲的经验为世界其他地区的国家提供了一些普遍的教训。这些经验教训涉及改革带来的劳动力市场激励的变化以及工人对此的反应,政府在管理向基金养老金过渡方面取得成功的行动,以及个人对社会保障体系的期望。拉丁美洲的改革表明,最有效的方法是保持低工资税,政府有偿付能力,社会保障体系专注于为老年贫困提供合理的保险。

The World Bank Research Observer publishes balanced surveys of the literature. When the authors of a survey are also the proponents of one of the major indicators being surveyed, it invites comments to ensure that balance is maintained. Kaufmann and Kraay provide a useful taxonomy of governance indicators, distinguishing between those measuring “rules on the books” and “rules on the ground” and those reflecting the views of experts and the results of surveys. While providing a balanced overview of the pros and cons of different methods, they make a strong case in favor of measuring rules on the ground based on an aggregated mix of expert- and survey-based indicators, along the lines of their

Domestic bond market development : the Arirang bond experience in Korea 国内债券市场的发展:韩国阿里郎债券的经验

This study contrasts the development of the Republic of Korea’s market for won-denominated foreign bonds (Arirang) with similar markets in the Asia-Pacific region. It discusses the problems, concerns, and key issues related to the development of this market within the broader context of domestic, regional, and global bond market development. Korea’s experience provides valuable lessons for other emerging market economies also seeking to build bond markets for local and foreign issuers. The sophistication of the local bond market is not enough to make it appealing to foreign borrowers. Market development demands ensuring an enabling infrastructure and a background of macroeconomic stability, nurturing local and international demand, deregulating capital flows, and minimizing exchange restrictions.
本研究对比了韩国以韩元计价的外国债券市场(Arirang)与亚太地区类似市场的发展。它在国内、区域和全球债券市场发展的大背景下讨论了与该市场发展有关的问题、关切和关键问题。韩国的经验为其他同样寻求为本地和外国发行人建立债券市场的新兴市场经济体提供了宝贵的教训。中国本土债券市场的成熟程度不足以吸引外国借款人。市场发展需要确保有利的基础设施和宏观经济稳定的背景,培育当地和国际需求,放松对资本流动的管制,并尽量减少外汇限制。

Korea’s experience provides valuable lessons for other emerging market economies also seeking to build bond markets for local and foreign issuers.

Comment on “Evaluating Recipes for Development Success”: The Policy Usefulness of Institutional and Political Analyses of Development 评“评估发展成功的秘诀”:发展的制度和政治分析的政策效用

In "Evaluating Recipes for Development Success" Avinash Dixit criticizes recent efforts to identify the "fundamental" causes of development and to distill policy recommendations from these efforts. This comment focuses on the strand of that literature related to institutions and development. Two arguments are important: that the rule of law and the security of property rights are important for growth and that they are the product of political institutions. Professor Dixit argues that identification and other concerns undermine the second argument and inhibit the formulation of policy recommendations. While these concerns are valid, research has begun to disaggregate broad political institutions (democracy and autocracy) and to look at the details of political competition, such as voter information and politician credibility, which are both more robust determinants of political decision-making and more susceptible to policy interventions.

在《评估发展成功的秘诀》一书中,阿维纳什·迪克西特批评了最近确定发展的“根本”原因并从这些努力中提炼出政策建议的努力。这篇评论的重点是与制度和发展有关的文献。有两个论点很重要:法治和产权保障对经济增长很重要,它们是政治制度的产物。迪克西特教授认为,识别和其他担忧削弱了第二个论点,并阻碍了政策建议的制定。虽然这些担忧是有效的,但研究已经开始分解广泛的政治制度(民主和专制),并研究政治竞争的细节,例如选民信息和政治家信誉,这些都是政治决策的更强大决定因素,也更容易受到政策干预的影响。版权所有作者2007。牛津大学出版社代表国际复兴开发银行/世界银行出版。版权所有。有关许可,请发送电子邮件:journals.permissions@oxfordjournals.org,牛津大学出版社。
