Описание: The services sector is key to economic growth, competitiveness, and poverty alleviation. Comprising more than two-thirds of the world economy, services are now commonly traded across borders, helped by technological progress and the increased mobility of persons. In recent years, a number of developing countries have looked at trade in services as a means to both respond to domestic supply shortages and to diversify and boost exports. Any country can tap into the trade potential of services, but not every country can become a services hub across sectors. The opening of the services sector potentially comes with large benefits, but also fears and costs that should not be overlooked. This book provides useful guidelines for the assessment of a country's trade potential, and a roadmap for successful opening and export promotion in select services sectors. It looks at both the effects of increased imports and exports, and provides concrete examples of developing country approaches that have either succeeded or failed to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks of opening. It focuses on sectors that have been rarely analyzed through the trade lens, and/or have a fast growing trade potential for developing countries. These sectors are: accounting, construction, distribution, engineering, environmental, health, information technology, and legal services. This book is designed for non-trade specialists to understand how trade can help improve access to key services in developing countries, and for trade specialists to understand the specific characteristics of each individual sector. It will be a useful tool for governments to design successful trade opening or promotion strategies, and for the private sector and consumers to advocate sound domestic policy reforms accompanying an offensive trade agenda.

Описание: Policies Affecting Resource Allocation Across Tradable Sectors And Those Affecting The Incentives To Produce Tradable Activities Are Key Determinants Of Macroeconomic Balance And Growth. Computable General Equilibrium Models Have Made Significant Contributions To Both Types Of Policies. With Advancements In Computing Power And Software, These Models Have Become Easy To Implement And Are Now Widespread. The Question Then Is When And How To Formulate Them To Avoid The 'Black Box' Syndrome.This Book Seeks To Address These Issues Through Carefully Selected Essays That Analyse How To Model General Equilibrium Linkages In A Single Economy, Across Developing And Developed Economies, And Across Both Micro And Macro Policies. Micro Policies Examined Include Tariffs Quotas And Vers, The Choice Of Taxes To Maximize Government Revenue, Migration And Remittances, And The Political Economy Of Tariff Setting. Applications On Macro Policies Cover Capital Inflows, Real Exchange Rate Determination, And The Modeling Of The Effects Of Adjustment Policies On Income Distribution.The Book Provides Insights On The Development Of A Family Of Models For Diverse Policy Choices, Focusing On The Ways To Model The Following: Links Between Tradable And Non-Tradable Activities, Labor Markets, And Portfolio Choices Given Limited Capital Mobility. Selected Essays Are All Inspired By Specific Policy Problems, Including The Adaptation To External Shocks (I.E. Oil), Consequences Of Capital Inflows, Determinants Of Migration And Associated Remittances, The Productivity Of Foreign Aid, And Rent-Seeking Activities Under Trade Regimes With Non-Price Trade Restrictions. Examples In This Book Lay Out The Theoretical Foundations, Alongside A Variety Of Applications, To Help Formulate Coherent And Transparent Models For Policy Analysis. Archetype Economies Are Extensively Used To Show How Differences In Economic Structure Influence The Effects Of Policies. Graduate Students And Policy Analysts Interested In Modeling Will Find This A Useful Compendium Of Studies.
