Описание:
A comprehensive and rigorous text that shows how a basic open economy model can be extended to answer important macroeconomic questions that arise in emerging markets.
This rigorous and comprehensive textbook develops a basic small open economy model and shows how it can be extended to answer many important macroeconomic questions that arise in emerging markets and developing economies, particularly those regarding monetary, fiscal, and exchange rate issues. Eschewing the complex calibrated models on which the field of international finance increasingly relies, the book teaches the reader how to think in terms of simple models and grasp the fundamentals of open economy macroeconomics.
After analyzing the standard intertemporal small open economy model, the book introduces frictions such as imperfect capital markets, intertemporal distortions, and nontradable goods, into the basic model in order to shed light on the economy's response to different shocks. The book then introduces money into the model to analyze the real effects of monetary and exchange rate policy. It then applies these theoretical tools to a variety of important macroeconomic issues relevant to developing countries (and, in a world of continuing financial crisis, to industrial countries as well), including the use of a nominal interest rate as a main policy instrument, the relative merits of flexible and predetermined exchange rate regimes, and the targeting of "real anchors." Finally, the book analyzes in detail specific topics such as inflation stabilization, "dollarization," balance of payments crises, and, inspired by recent events, financial crises. Each chapter includes boxes with relevant empirical evidence and ends with exercises. The book is suitable for use in graduate courses in development economics, international finance, and macroeconomics.

Описание: In this timely book, Jeffrey James undertakes a methodological critique of prominent topics in the debate surrounding IT and development. Challenging the existing literature by international and governmental institutions, the book looks not only at the digital divide but also at issues such as digital preparedness, leapfrogging and low-cost computers.
Mobile phones are close to ubiquitous in developing countries; Internet and broadband access are becoming commonplace. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) thus represent the fastest, broadest and deepest technical change experienced in international development. They now affect every development sector - supporting the work of hundreds of millions of farmers and micro-entrepreneurs; creating millions of ICT-based jobs; assisting healthcare workers and teachers; facilitating political change; impacting climate change; but also linked with digital inequalities and harms - with the pace of change continuously accelerating.
Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) provides the first dedicated textbook to examine and explain these emerging phenomena. It will help students, practitioners, researchers and other readers understand the place of ICTs within development; the ICT-enabled changes already underway; and the key issues and interventions that engage ICT4D practice and strategy.
The book has a three-part structure. The first three chapters set out the foundations of ICT4D: the core relation between ICTs and development; the underlying components needed for ICT4D to work; and best practice in implementing ICT4D. Five chapters then analyse key development goals: economic growth, poverty eradication, social development, good governance and environmental sustainability. Each chapter assesses the goal-related impact associated with ICTs and key lessons from real-world cases. The final chapter looks ahead to emerging technologies and emerging models of ICT-enabled development.
The book uses extensive in-text diagrams, tables and boxed examples with chapter-end discussion and assignment questions and further reading. Supported by online activities, video links, session outlines and slides, this textbook provides the basis for undergraduate, postgraduate and online learning modules on ICT4D.

Описание: Differences In The Choices Of Trade And Macro Policies, Both By Developing Countries And By Developed Countries Towards Developing Countries, Have Been Critical In Determining The Overall Performance Of Developing Countries. All Too Often, The Performance Of Developing Countries Has Not Been Assessed Using Appropriately Conducted Studies. The Papers In This Book Are Chosen To Bridge This Gap And Show How A Quantitative Approach To Policy Evaluation Can Help Resolve Controversies And Explain The Choice Of Observed Policies.The Book Brings Together Carefully Selected Papers That Assess The Impacts Of Various Trade And Macro Policies, By Quantifying The Policies Of Developing Countries At The Macro Level (Exchange Rate, Investment, Savings) And At The Sector Level (Trade And Industrial Policies), In Addition To Policies Of Developed Countries Towards Developing Countries (Trade Preferences, Quotas, Vers And Migration Policies). Facets Of The Political Economy Of Trade, Migration, And Climate Policies Are Explored (Such As The Enlargement Of The Eu, The Rise Of Regionalism And How It Can Ease The Pains Of Adjustment To Trade Liberalization, Openness And Inequality). Growing Tensions Between Trade And The Environment Are Also Investigated. In Short, This Book Covers A Wide Area Of Events Ranging From External And Internal Shocks To External And Internal Policies, Showing How The Consequences Of These Events Can Be Brought To Rigorous Quantitative Analysis.
