The evidence in China's and India's Challenge to Latin America indicates that certain manufacturing and service industries in some countries have been negatively affected by Chinese and Indian competition in third markets and that LAC imports from China and India have been associated with modest unemployment and adjustment costs in manufacturing industries. The book also provides substantial evidence of positive aggregate effects for LAC economies associated with China's and India's greater presence in world exports, financial flows, and innovation. Chinese and Indian growth is creating new production possibilities for LAC economies, particularly in sectors that rely on natural resources and scientific knowledge.

Fiscal policy, stabilization, and growth

No review available on this record. Title : Fiscal policy, stabilization, and growth : prudence or abstinence? Material Type: printed text Authors: Guillermo E. Perry, Editor ; Luis Serven, Editor ; Rodrigo Suescun, Editor Publisher: Washington D.C. : The World Bank Publication Date: 2008 Pagination: xx, 329 p. Layout: ill. Size: 23 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-0-8213-7084-1 General note: Includes bibliographical references and index Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Finance and Financial Sector Development Macroeconomics and Economic Growth Class number: 336 Abstract: Fiscal policy in Latin America has been guided primarily by short-term liquidity targets whose observance was taken as the main exponent of fiscal prudence, with attention focused almost exclusively on the levels of public debt and the cash deficit. Very little attention was paid to the effects of fiscal policy on growth and on macroeconomic volatility over the cycle. Important issues such as the composition of public expenditures (and its effects on growth), the ability of fiscal policy to stabilize cyclical fluctuations, and the currency composition of public debt were largely neglected. As a result, fiscal policy has often amplified cyclical volatility and dampened growth. Fiscal Policy, Stabilization, and Growth explores the conduct of fiscal policy in Latin America and its consequences for macroeconomic stability and long-term growth. In particular, the book highlights the procyclical and anti-investment biases embedded in the region's fiscal policies, explores their causes and macroeconomic consequences, and asesses their possible solutions. Contents note: Overview: fiscal policy, economic fluctuations and growth; Procyclical fiscal policy and volatility; Fiscal discipline, volatility and growth; The size and effectiveness of fiscal automatic stabilizers in Latin America; Fiscal federalism and procyclical spending: the cases of Argentina and Brazil; Fiscal rules and procyclicality; Fiscal policy and growth -- Fiscal discipline, public investment and growth; Incentives for public investment under fiscal rules; Improving the SGP through a proper accounting of public investment; Accrual accounting, long-term fiscal projections, and public investment; Growth and fiscal effects of infrastructure investment in Brazil Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=13340
