    Abstract: En juillet 2008, le Pérou est devenu le 41ème pays à adhérer à la Déclaration de l'OCDE sur l'investissement international et les entreprises multinationales. Cet examen, entrepris dans le cadre du processus d’adhésion du Pérou à la Déclaration de l’OCDE avec la coopération des autorités péruviennes, montre que le pays a fait des progrès importants dans la mise en place d’un régime d’investissement ouvert et transparent comprenant un nombre limité de restrictions, ce qui a permis au Pérou de compter parmi les économies les plus ouvertes. Les initiatives récentes du gouvernement ont pour objectif de poursuivre la réduction des obstacles administratifs, de simplifier et rationaliser les incitations à l’investissement et de promouvoir le comportement responsable des entreprises.

    Abstract: Piedmont is one of the top ten manufacturing regions in Europe and enjoys the highest levels of business investment in R&D in Italy. Birthplace of the most famous Italian automotive company - Fiat – and home to many heavy engineering and manufacturing firms, the region has long been a central part of the national industrial core. Yet since the early 1970s, the fragility of Piedmont's production system has slowly became evident. This report reviews how Piedmont’s new regional strategy supports innovation and how its efforts can be improved.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. OECD Investment Policy Reviews; Egypt 2007
    Keywords: Finance and Investment ; Egypt
    Abstract: En juillet 2007, l'Égypte adhéré à la Déclaration de l’OCDE sur l’investissement international et les entreprises multinationales. Le pays a fait l’objet d’un examen complet de ses politiques à l’égard de l’investissement international par des membres de l’OCDE, en fonction des critères du Cadre d’action pour l’investissement. Cette publication présente les résultats de cet examen. L’une des principales conclusions est que les investisseurs internationaux ont réagi rapidement aux initiatives gouvernementales de réforme des politiques, en multipliant par huit les entrées d’IDE en Égypte en trois ans à peine, en diversifiant leurs opérations au-delà du secteur pétrolier pour fournir des investissements particulièrement nécessaires à un large éventail d’activités manufacturières et de services. Toutefois, l’examen révèle aussi que les réformes du climat d’investissement prennent du temps et que de nombreux défis restent à relever. Il s’agit notamment des efforts actuellement déployés pour supprimer les restrictions sectorielles inutiles à l’encontre de l’investissement, maintenir l’impulsion pour l’élargissement du programme de privatisation et encourager l’entrepreneuriat en favorisant la transparence, l’obligation de rendre des comptes et la concurrence.

    Keywords: Regionales Cluster ; Innovation ; Entrepreneurship ; OECD-Staaten ; Employment ; Science and Technology ; Industry and Services ; Cluster ; Innovation ; Entrepreneurship
    Abstract: This publication explores the success of major innovation and entrepreneurship clusters in OECD countries, the challenges they now face in sustaining their positions and the lessons for other places seeking to build successful clusters. What are the key factors for cluster success? What problems are emerging on the horizon? Which is the appropriate role of the public sector in supporting the expansion of clusters and overcoming the obstacles? The book addresses these and other issues, analysing seven internationally reputed clusters in depth: Grenoble in France, Vienna in Austria, Waterloo in Canada, Dunedin in New Zealand, Medicon Valley in Scandinavia, Oxfordshire in the United Kingdom, and Madison, Wisconsin, in the United States. For each cluster, it looks at the factors that have contributed to its growth, the impact of the cluster on local entrepreneurship performance, and the challenges faced for further expansion. It also puts forward a set of policy recommendations geared to the broader context of cluster development. This publication is essential reading for policy makers, practitioners and academics wishing to obtain good practices in cluster development and guidance on how to enhance the economic impact of clusters.

    Abstract: En 2007, les flux d’investissements internationaux de la Russie ont atteint des niveaux record qui font de ce pays l’un des principaux destinataires et émetteurs d’IDE dans le monde. La Russie pourrait accroître sa capacité d’attirer les investissements internationaux en renforçant la concurrence bénéfique et en ouvrant de nouvelles perspectives d’investissement. L’adoption par les entreprises russes de pratiques commerciales internationales normalisées peut également améliorer la réputation et la de fiabilité de la Russie en tant que destinataire et émetteur d’IDE. L’étude de la politique d’investissement énergétique de la Russie réalisée à partir du Cadre d’action pour l’investissement de l’OCDE définit différentes mesures essentielles pour faire face aux besoins d’investissement considérables du pays dans le domaine de l’énergie et surmonter les difficultés inhérentes à ce secteur.

    Abstract: This review of India's investment policy finds that India has made tremendous progress in building a policy environment to encourage investment. As a result, the country’s economy is growing more rapidly and FDI inflows have accelerated impressively. However, investment remains insufficient to meet India’s needs, particularly in infrastructure. Current efforts to strengthen and liberalise the regulatory framework for investment need to be intensified. India’s well-developed economic legislation should be implemented at an accelerated pace both at national level and right across India’s States and Union Territories. OECD Investment Policy Reviews: India charts India's progress in developing an effective policy framework to promote investment for development, especially since the acceleration of economic reform from 1991 onward. It focuses on policies towards investment, trade, competition and other elements of the business environment. Finally, it outlines some of the challenges of implementing national-level reforms at state level.

    Abstract: This publication presents the results of the first OECD investment policy review of Vietnam. It finds that the progress Vietnam has achieved in less than two decades in putting into place a legal framework and implementing policies that mobilise private investment, including international direct investment, to support economic growth and the prosperity of Vietnam’s citizens has been remarkable. Starting from a situation in which the economy was essentially closed to private and international investment, Vietnam is now considered to be one of the very attractive economies in the world for investment.

    Abstract: This report is based on four main sources: an extensive literature review, the analysis of theanswers to a questionnaire sent to FATF and FSRB members; the results of a typology workshop andsubsequent consultation with the football sector. Results to the questionnaire were obtained in October 2008 from 25 countries, mostly European,seven South-American countries, two from Asia and Australia. The responding countries differ widely insize, role and organisation of football in society (ranging from large countries with big football leagues tosmaller nations or nations with only non-professional football). Differences in information, position andinterest in the person or organisation that provided the answers (national football association, governmentrepresentatives, national FIUs, the police or judicial authorities) needed to be taken into consideration aswell.Following the analysis of questionnaires, a workshop on money laundering and the footballsector was held in Monaco in November 2008 as part of the 2008 FATF/MONEYVAL Typologiesmeeting. This workshop was very well supported by members of the FATF, MONEYVAL andrepresentatives of other countries. The following participants were involved in the 2-day breakout sessionwhich considered issues in depth: Belgium, Brazil, Cyprus, Egmont Group, France, International OlympicCommittee (IOC), Ireland, Italy, Monaco, Norway, Russia, Slovenia, South Africa, Switzerland, theNetherlands and the United Kingdom.The study has also relied on the experience and cooperation of the private sector. Arepresentative of the IOC attended the Monaco workshop in November 2008. Consultation withrepresentatives of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and of the Union ofEuropean Football Associations (UEFA) also took place in January and April 2009. Those representativesreceived a copy of the report and were given the opportunity to comment. All the comments of the private sector were taken into account when considered relevant.

    Abstract: Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a major driver of globalisation. The OECD Benchmark Definition of Foreign Direct Investment sets the world standard for FDI statistics. It provides a single point of reference for statisticians and users on all aspect of FDI statistics, while remaining compatible with other internationally accepted statistical standards. This edition introduces new analytical data breakdowns and statistical treatments that better reflect the realities of today’s world economy. The revised Benchmark Definition provides methods for classifying different types of FDI (e.g., mergers and acquisitions, greenfield investments) and for identifying the ultimate investor. The new edition now addresses the uses of FDI statistics, including globalisation indicators, and provides a chapter relating to the statistics on the activities of multinational enterprises.

    Keywords: Governance ; Industry and Services
    Abstract: La mayoría de los países de la OCDE han hecho una prioridad la elaboración de políticas para disminuir las cargas administrativas (reducir el papeleo). La burocracia es onerosa particularmente para las empresas pequeñas y puede inhibir el emprendimiento. Estos efectos son más costosos en los mercados mundiales, en donde la competitividad puede ser afectada por la eficiencia de la regulación local y el entorno administrativo. Pero también los ciudadanos y las grandes empresas se quejan de la elaboración de reportes solicitados que son innecesarios.¿Qué pueden hacer los gobiernos al respecto? Las estrategias incluyen establecer metas cuantitativas para reducir las cargas administrativas cuando se diseñan o modifican normativas existentes; codificación; mejorar la coordinación multi-nivel; y la introducción rápida de servicios de e-gobierno. Cada vez más los gobiernos asignan responsabilidad a una unidad administrativa central apoyados por grupos de trabajo y comités externos. Este acercamiento de “gobierno entero” representa un paso mayor en los años recientes incrustando la simplificación administrativa en todo el sistema de calidad normativo en el nivel nacional.

    Abstract: The Western Balkan region benefits from a cost-competitive labour force and geographic and cultural proximity to EU markets. However, cost competitiveness as a source of differentiation is not sustainable. Cost levels are increasing gradually in some sectors, reducing firms’ profitability. In order to sustain competitiveness, the Western Balkans needs to move up the value chain, from investing in automated technology to producing higher-quality goods and enhancing its human capital. This report examines the apparel manufacturing, automotive components and business process and technology outsourcing sectors, focusing on market competitiveness factors, industry key success factors and policy recommendations.

    Keywords: Finance and Investment ; Development
    Abstract: La crise économique mondiale a contraint la communauté des donneurs à reconsidérer ses positions concernant la conditionnalité de l’aide au développement. Cette étude évalue les controverses persistantes à ce sujet et dans quelle mesure les donneurs sont parvenus à contenir la tendance, constatée au cours des années 1980 et 1990, à durcir la conditionnalité de l’aide. Le rapport vérifie si l'aide se répartit effectivement selon les critères de gouvernance et de développement invoqués par la communauté des donneurs. Il montre à quel point la crise financière compromet de plus en plus le respect des procédures habituelles de la conditionnalité. À la lumière du caractère inapplicable des procédures existantes, il propose des stratégies visant à réduire le nombre des critères de conditionnalité et à renforcer l'appropriation des politiques d'aide par les pays bénéficiaires.

    Abstract: Cette publication examine les succès d’importants pôles d’entreprises et d’innovation des pays de l’OCDE, les défis auxquels ceux-ci doivent actuellement faire face pour maintenir leurs positions, ainsi que les enseignements dont pourraient bénéficier d’autres candidats à la création de pôles performants. De quels facteurs clés dépend le succès d’un pôle ? Quels sont les problèmes qui se profilent à l’horizon ? Quel rôle doit exactement jouer le secteur public pour soutenir le développement des pôles et vaincre les différents obstacles ? Ces questions, et bien d’autres encore, sont abordées par l’ouvrage qui se livre à l’analyse détaillée de sept pôles de renommée internationale : Grenoble, en France ; Vienne, en Autriche ; Waterloo, au Canada ; Dunedin, en Nouvelle-Zélande ; Medicon Valley, en Scandinavie ; Oxfordshire, au Royaume-Uni ; et Madison, aux États-Unis. Pour chacun de ces pôles, le livre examine les facteurs qui ont contribué à son développement, l’impact du pôle sur les performances de l’entrepreneuriat local, et les défis posés par une expansion supplémentaire. Le livre propose également une série de recommandations politiques s’attachant, dans un contexte élargi, à la question du développement des pôles. Cet ouvrage constitue une lecture essentielle pour tous les décideurs publics, praticiens et universitaires désireux de connaître les bonnes pratiques en matière de développement des pôles et souhaitant obtenir des conseils pour accroître l’impact économique des pôles.

    Abstract: En cette ère de mondialisation, les axes régionaux de spécialisation, qui avaient mis plusieurs décennies à s’établir, sont désormais en pleine mutation. De nombreuses régions qui, hier, étaient des centres de production dans un secteur particulier perdent du terrain face à des lieux d’implantation où les coûts sont moins élevés, et se réorientent vers des niches de marché à plus forte valeur ajoutée. Pour relever ce défi, on a recours à des programmes nationaux de promotion de stratégies fondées sur des pôles d'activités (établissant des liens entre les entreprises, les individus et le savoir). Ce rapport contient une analyse des objectifs de 26 programmes de 14 pays de l’OCDE. Y sont examinés la répartition de ces objectifs, les instruments d’action et le partage des rôles à l’échelle intergouvernementale. Cet ouvrage intéressera les responsables de l’élaboration des politiques, les chercheurs, les entreprises ainsi que tous ceux qui s’emploient à promouvoir l’innovation et la compétitivité.

    Abstract: L’usage optimal des deniers publics dans la fourniture de services par les administrations est un sujet important et ce débat est toujours d’actualité. Cet ouvrage présente dix « bonnes pratiques » illustrant les questions que doit se poser tout pays souhaitant s’engager dans un partenariat public-privé (PPP). On citera notamment la faisabilité financière des PPP, l’optimisation des ressources, la notation des PPP dans le budget et leur traitement comptable, les engagements (conditionnels ou explicites) et les questions de réglementation et de gouvernance institutionnelle. L’ouvrage aborde également des sujets aussi essentiels que le risque – politique autant que financier – et la juste mesure de la performance d’un PPP afin de s’assurer qu’il sert bien la société. En s’appuyant sur des exemples nationaux de pays membres et non membres de l’OCDE, cet ouvrage aidera les administrations et le public à mieux cerner ce mécanisme complexe et son impact sur les finances publiques et sur la définition des frontières entre l’État et le marché.

    Abstract: L’aide ne saurait à elle seule financer le développement, c’est pourquoi il est essentiel de trouver de nouvelles sources de financement. L’apparition d’une multitude de nouveaux instruments et canaux est une bonne nouvelle pour les pays en développement mais elle pose aussi des problèmes. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage stimulant analysent le contexte nouveau du financement international du développement en se plaçant dans une perspective globale ainsi que du point de vue des pays en développement. Il ressort de leur réflexion un large éventail de conséquences tant pour les donneurs que pour les bénéficiaires. Dans une présentation aisément compréhensible, cet ouvrage fournit des recommandations sur les mécanismes novateurs, l’utilisation des dons et des prêts dans le cadre du financement international et les difficultés qu’il y a à gérer la complexité des flux financiers au niveau des pays.

    Abstract: Individuals face an increasing variety of financial risks, including those linked to their retirement. At the same time, public funding has been reduced or is strictly limited in most countries. Private insurance and pensions products therefore play an essential role in social and financial protection. Yet the public might have a low level of awareness of the risks they are exposed to, and lack literacy, knowledge and skills in insurance and private pensions questions and products. This volume addresses these topical and unexplored issues as part of the ongoing OECD project on financial education. After a comprehensive analysis of the main challenges and presentation of practical solutions, the book highlights good practices, endorsed by OECD governments, to enhance awareness and education on risk, insurance and private pensions issues.

    Abstract: The debate about how to achieve value for money in the delivery of government services is ongoing. Increasingly, public services are being produced, procured and delivered to citizens by public-private partnerships. This book highlights ten good practices, summarising what countries should consider before entering into public-private partnerships (PPPs). These include affordability, value for money, budget scoring and accounting treatment, dealing with liabilities (contingent or explicit), and regulatory and institutional governance issues. The book also discusses the important questions of risk – both financial and political – and of how to measure the performance of a public-private partnership to ensure its continued value to society. Drawing upon country examples within and outside the OECD area, this book will help governments and the public to come to grips with this complex mechanism and its impact on public finances as well as on the definition of the boundaries between the state and the market.

    Abstract: Aid alone cannot finance development; bringing in fresh sources of finance is essential. The emergence of a multiplicity of new financing options is good news for developing countries, but it also raises challenges. The authors in this stimulating book assess the changing landscape of international development finance from a global and a developing-country perspective. The result is a vast range of policy implications for donor and recipient alike. In an easily digestible format, the book provides recommendations on innovative policy mechanisms, on the use of both grants and loans in development finance, and on the challenges of managing diverse financial flows at country-level.

Mais impliquer d’autres acteurs de la société, tels que le secteur privé et les ONG, reste encore aujourd’hui un défi à relever. Ce livre part de l’observation des activités du secteur privé dans les pays en développement et dans les économies émergentes, et montre de quelle façon ces activités sont en relation avec les politiques gouvernementales. Comprendre ces activités et ces interactions public-privé est indispensable pour que le secteur privé puisse jouer pleinement son rôle dans le processus de développement d’un pays. À cette fin, plusieurs études de cas fournissent ici des exemples concrets d’Afrique, d’Asie, et d’ailleurs.

    Abstract: Les équipements, matériaux et services nécessaires pour la construction, l'exploitation et l'alimentation en combustible des centrales nucléaires sont aussi nombreux que variés. L'industrie nucléaire a, depuis les années 80, connu de nombreuses fusions et consolidations et vu naître quelques grands groupes mondiaux. En outre, l'ouverture des marchés de l'électricité de nombreux pays de l'OCDE accentue la pression concurrentielle sur les exploitants de centrales nucléaires. Les changements structurels, qui ont marqué les producteurs comme les consommateurs du secteur nucléaire, se sont répercutés sur le niveau de la concurrence sur les marchés de l'ingénierie nucléaire et du cycle du combustible. Alors que se profile une reprise du nucléaire, la présente publication analyse la situation de la concurrence dans les principaux secteurs de l'industrie nucléaire ainsi que son évolution possible si la demande augmente de façon significative.

    Abstract: Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of Western Balkan economies but until recently received relatively little attention from policy makers. Governments focused on consolidating macroeconomic stabilisation and the restructuring and privatisation of large companies. The adoption in 2003 of the European Charter for Small Enterprises contributed to a change in policy perspective. The SME Policy Index 2007 presents the first comprehensive and comparative assessment of progress made in implementing the Charter. The assessment is based on the SME Policy Index, an analytical tool designed by the OECD Investment Compact and the European Commission, and uses collaborative benchmarking to measure progress in the ten dimensions of the Charter: • Education and training for entrepreneurship • Cheaper and faster start-up • Better legislation and regulation • Availability of skills • Improving online access for tax filing and company registration • Getting more out of the single market • Taxation and financial matters • Strengthening the technological capacity of small enterprises • Successful e-business models and top class business support • Developing stronger, more effective representation of small enterprises Governments of the region have already started to take action based on the results of the report through the creation in April 2007 of a South East European Investment Committee which aims to develop detailed guidelines on how to implement reforms in priority areas including the SME environment. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and UNMIK/Kosovo are assessed in this report. A second SME Policy evaluation will be conducted and published in 2009.

    Keywords: Finance and Investment ; Development
    Abstract: L’aide à elle seule ne suffit pas à financer le développement : il est essentiel de trouver de nouvelles sources. L’émergence récente d’un large éventail d’options de financement est donc une bonne nouvelle pour les pays en développement, mais elle pose également des défis. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage stimulant font le point sur la nouvelle « architecture » du financement international du développement, dans une perspective mondiale, mais aussi du point de vue des pays en développement. Les implications de cette évolution sont nombreuses, aussi bien pour les politiques des donateurs que pour celles des bénéficiaires. Cet ouvrage accessible présente des recommandations pour la sélection des mécanismes innovants de financement, la combinaison optimale des dons et des prêts pour financer le développement, et pour surmonter les difficultés de gérer des flux financiers émanant de sources multiples au niveau des pays.

    Abstract: Surface transport plays a fundamental role in nearly all social and economic activity. Providing and maintaining the infrastructure consumes enormous resources. Thus, it is essential that this be carried out in the most efficient and effective way possible. Many options are available to provide surface transport infrastructure – public ministries and agencies, public-private partnerships (PPPs), state-owned companies, private and non-profit entities, and outright privatisation. There are also various means of paying for it, including user charging, subsidies, public borrowing or private financing. This report examines key principles that should be considered by governments in deciding how to provide and pay for surface transport infrastructure, with a view to best serving societies’ needs and employing public resources. It also considers the key issues that must be resolved in making more use of private financing and expertise.

    Abstract: This joint Eurostat and OECD publication provides a detailed description of the sources and methods used by OECD countries to compile the business demography indicators, such as birth death and survival rates of businesses, published by OECD in Structural and Demographic Business Statistics (SDBS). Furthermore, these measures are key components of the Entrepreneurship Indicators Programme developed jointly by the OECD and Eurostat. It is the first manual of its kind that provides for an internationally comparable framework for these increasingly important measures and also provides recommendations for the measurement of indicators not hitherto covered in the SDBS publication, such as indicators of high-growth enterprises and young high-growth enterprises (gazelles).

    Keywords: Employment ; Urban, Rural and Regional Development ; Industry and Services
    Abstract: Los países miembros de la OCDE dedican recursos signicativos a las políticas para el desarrollo local y regional, sin embargo, los resultados de dichas políticas han sido entendidos pobremente. La evaluación de la política pública representa desafíos conceptuales, técnicos e institucionales. Eso es particularmente cierto para el caso del desarrollo local. Frecuentemente los datos son inadecuados y los múltiples tipos de política pueden interactuar para ocultar los efectos de las iniciativas individuales. Diversos factores externos pueden afectar la economía de una localidad, y los impactos positivos de las políticas en una ubicación pueden causar efectos no deseados en otra. Además, los individuos hacia los cuales va orientada una política pueden cambiar de una localidad a otra. Estas y otras complejidades necesitan considerarse al evaluar qué políticas son verdaderamente efectivas y ecientes. Este es uno de los pocos libros que examina las mejores experiencias en la evaluación de los programas de desarrollo económico local y regional y de creación de empleo. Adecuado para lectores no técnicos, este libro contiene propuestas de política para los gobiernos centrales y locales interesados en mejorar los procesos de evaluación, ampliar la evidencia documental sobre las políticas públicas y desarrollar una cultura de evaluación.

    Abstract: The Danish economy is small, open and dynamic with a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises. Start-up rates in Denmark have increased steadily in recent years and are high in international comparison. The overall importance of high growth firms is increasing but remains below the level of some other countries. This has stimulated the Danish government to put forward ambitious objectives for entrepreneurship in general and high growth start-ups specifically in the Globalisation Strategy in 2006. Accordingly the funds and infrastructure available for the support of young enterprises with high growth potential has increased substantially....

    Abstract: The globalisation of production processes characterises the current phase of globalisation. Participation in global value chains (GVCs) can bring stability to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and allow them to increase productivity and expand their business. This OECD report identifies the ways in which governments, the business community, and international organisations can facilitate SMEs’ gainful participation in global value chains through policies, practices and targeted support programmes. It presents the findings of case studies carried out in five industries (the automotive sector, scientific and precision instruments, software, film production and distribution and tourism).

    Keywords: KMU ; Wirtschaftspolitik ; OECD-Staaten ; Industry and Services ; OECD ; Klein- und Mittelbetrieb ; Gewerbepolitik
    Abstract: This Framework provides policy makers with a practical and accessible guide to best practice evaluation methods for SME and entrepreneurship policies and programmes. It uses case studies from a wide range of OECD countries to examine the benefits of evaluation and how best to address common issues that arise when commissioning and undertaking SME and entrepreneurship evaluations. Key evaluation principles are set out, including the ‘Six Steps to Heaven’ approach. These principles are illustrated with examples of evaluations of national, regional and local programmes that can be explored further by the reader. The publication focuses not only on the evaluation of individual policies and programmes, but also on peer review evaluations and assessment of the impact of SMEs and entrepreneurship of mainstream programmes that do not have business development as their principal aim. This book complements other existing guidelines, as it focusses particularly on problem situations and exceptions to the general rules.

    Abstract: This Investment Policy Review of China 2008 reviews Chinese government efforts to encourage responsible business conduct against the backdrop of recent regulatory changes and China's increasing outward investment. It assesses the extent to which China's legal and regulatory framework for investment has been improved since the 2006 Review, including new cross-border mergers and acquisitions regulations, the Enterprise Income Tax Law, the Property Rights Law, the Anti-Monopoly Law and the latest revision of the Catalogue for Guiding Foreign Investment Industries. It also evaluates recent improvements in China's FDI statistics. The 2008 Review provides a unique account of the motivations for and development of China's outward direct investment in recent years in light of government policy encouraging companies to "go global", focusing in particular on Chinese investment in Africa. It provides the first detailed and comprehensive analysis of the government's efforts to encourage responsible business conduct by enterprises in China and by Chinese enterprises operating abroad, highlighting in particular efforts to strengthen environmental protection and respect for core labour standards by enterprises. The Review concludes with an evaluation of enterprises' environmental conduct in China.

    Abstract: With 14.5 million inhabitants and an economy worth over EUR 290 billion, the North of England is larger than many European countries. At the heart of the industrial revolution, the region has been a historic centre for world-changing innovation in transport, computing and in vitro fertilisation. Yet, in the wake of massive losses in manufacturing employment over the past few decades, the region is having to adapt in order to catch up to more prosperous regions in the UK and remain competitive globally. Like many regions around the OECD, the North of England is seeking to support economic development through innovation, with strategies that build on the region's heritage while also looking to develop new strengths. This report reviews how both national policy and regional strategies support innovation in the North and how these efforts could be improved. It will be of interest to policy makers, firms and others active in promoting innovation and regional economic development.

    Abstract: El Salvador’s first competition law took effect on 1 January 2006. The law, following some important amendments in 2007, is sound in most respects. It employs enforcement standards that are consistent with best practices in the worldwide competition community. It provides the new competition agency, La Superintendencia de Competencia (Superintendency) with the powers that it needs to enforce the law effectively. In less than three years El Salvador is off to a good – one might say excellent – start. Its experience can serve, in some ways at least, as an example of an effective way to begin to implement a competition policy...

This book examines what drives these global innovation networks across different industries, how they are related to companies' overall strategies, whether they are accessible for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and what the consequences are.

    Abstract: Desde la creciente incidencia de la contaminación ambiental y la contaminación del suelo hasta las catástrofes naturales, los riesgos producidos por la constante interacción entre las actividades humanas y el medio ambiente son diversos, numerosos y, a menudo, con consecuencias catastróficas. Por lo tanto, la elaboración de planes eficaces de gestión de riesgos, dirigidos a la formulación de estrategias de respuesta viables, requiere la contribución de todos los actores económicos involucrados: grupos privados, instituciones financieras, gobiernos y organizaciones internacionales. Este informe se centra en el papel de las compañías aseguradoras y reaseguradoras en la gestión de riesgos ambientales, en particular, el riesgo de contaminación ambiental y el riesgo de catástrofes naturales. Se discute la asegurabilidad de tales riesgos, se analiza el aumento del riesgo de responsabilidad por contaminación ambiental y las tendencias subyacentes en el desarrollo de regímenes de responsabilidad ambiental en los países de la OCDE. También presenta una visión general de los diversos productos de seguro medioambiental y de las técnicas desarrolladas en respuesta a la evolución legal y fáctica. Además, describe las características especiales de los riesgos por catástrofes naturales, el funcionamiento tradicional del mercado de seguros en la cobertura de tales peligros y opciones alternativas de cobertura, desde los planes gubernamentales contra el riesgo de desastres hasta los nuevos instrumentos financieros de mercado.

    Abstract: In 2007, Russia’s international investment flows reached record highs, making Russia one of the world’s largest recipients and sources of FDI. Russia's potential for attracting even more international investment can be improved by strengthening beneficial competition and offering additional opportunities for investment. Disseminating international standard business practices among Russian firms can also boost the country's creditworthiness and reliability as inward and outward investors. Based on the OECD's Policy Framework for Investment, the overview of Russia's energy investment policy identifies different policies critical for coping with the country's huge energy investment needs and sector-specific challenges.

    Abstract: Pharmaceutical policy making raises particular challenges in reconciling key objectives for health policy, such as ensuring affordable access to the latest effective drugs, with other important policy considerations, such as providing support to a valuable national industry. Unusually among health policy issues, it also raises international considerations that further complicate decision making, particularly as the nature and extent of such considerations are not well understood. This report assesses how pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement policies have contributed to the achievement of certain health policy objectives. It examines the national and transnational effects of these policies, in particular, their implications for the availability of medicines in other countries, the prices of these medicines, and innovation in the pharmaceutical sector. This publication presents an analysis of comparative price levels, making use of a unique dataset to construct the most comprehensive pan-OECD pharmaceutical price index to date. It also draws upon original case studies of pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement policies in six OECD countries to provide specific examples of the impacts of policies on health system performance.

    Abstract: Although SMEs are a major source of growth and job creation, SMEs appear to be under-represented in the international economy relative to their contribution in national and local economies. Two original OECD-APEC surveys investigated how SME policy makers and SMEs perceive the barriers to SME access to international markets. This proceedings presents a report on the results of the surveys, a synthesis of the conference discussions, and the main outcome of the conference: the Athens Action Plan for Removing Barriers to SME Access to International Markets.

    Abstract: Global value chains are radically altering how goods and services are produced. Parts made in one country, for instance, are increasingly assembled in another and sold in a third. The globalisation of production has changed the industrial structure within OECD countries, and in some sectors blunted their competitiveness. Another major consequence has been fears of job losses. This volume is a compilation of the studies that underlie the synthesis report on global value chains, entitled Staying Competitive in the Global Economy: Moving Up the Value Chain. It includes papers on the measurement of globalisation, SMEs in global value chains, the changing nature of manufacturing, impact of international sourcing, foreign affiliates, offshoring and productivity, and the internationalisation of R&D.

    Abstract: Nuclear power plants require a wide variety of specialised equipment, materials and services for their construction, operation and fuelling. There has been much consolidation and retrenchment in the nuclear industry since the 1980s, with the emergence of some large global nuclear companies. Electricity market liberalisation in many OECD countries has meanwhile placed nuclear plant operators under increased competitive pressure. These structural changes in both the producer and consumer sides of the nuclear industry have had implications for the level of competition in the nuclear engineering and fuel cycle markets. With renewed expansion of nuclear power now anticipated, this study examines competition in the major nuclear industry sectors at present, and how this may change with a significant upturn in demand.

    Abstract: Dramatic events, such as the earthquake that struck China’s Sichuan Province in 2008 and the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in the United States in 2005, have brought the financial management of catastrophic risks once again to the forefront of the public policy agenda globally. To address these issues and develop sound policies, the OECD has established an International Network on the Financial Management of Large-Scale Catastrophes. This publication supports the ongoing activities of the Network. This book contains three reports focusing on different institutional approaches to the financial management of large-scale catastrophes in selected OECD and non-OECD countries, the role of risk mitigation and insurance in reducing the impact of natural disasters, and the importance of strategic leadership in the management of non-conventional crises.

Ce rapport présente un large éventail de données de l’OCDE sur la mondialisation des chaînes de valeur et l’augmentation de l’externalisation et des délocalisations. Il étudie l’incidence de la mondialisation de la production sur les pays de l’OCDE, tant au niveau macroéconomique que sectoriel. Les coûts et les avantages de la mondialisation sont ensuite analysés, notamment en matière d’emploi et de productivité. Enfin, cet ouvrage examine l’effet de la mondialisation sur la compétitivité des pays de l’OCDE, en soulignant l’importance d’une stratégie d’innovation efficace. Il traite de la question de la progression dans la chaîne de valeur non seulement au sein des pays de l’OCDE, mais également en Chine, dans un contexte où la R-D gagne de plus en plus les pays émergents.

    Abstract: Les délocalisations, c'est-à-dire le transfert d'activités industrielles à l'étranger, font désormais partie de la vie des entreprises. Toutefois, une grande partie du public les perçoit comme une menace. Les inquiétudes sont concentrées sur l'emploi, notamment sur les pertes potentielles d'emplois sur le marché intérieur. Ce rapport jette un nouveau regard sur le phénomène des délocalisations. Tout d'abord, il le définit de manière détaillée et montre ainsi quelles sont les multiples façons dont une activité industrielle – à la fois dans l'industrie manufacturière et dans les services – peut être transférée à l'étranger. Le rapport décrit les divers effets que les délocalisations ont sur l'emploi, qu’ils soient positifs ou négatifs. Enfin, ce rapport novateur esquisse les conséquences que les délocalisations pourraient avoir sur la politique publique. Il propose des solutions pour en limiter les effets négatifs tout en contribuant à instaurer la confiance entre les divers partenaires sociaux qui travaillent sur cette question.

    Abstract: Malgré une récente expansion, le volume de l’investissement international demeure modeste en Russie par rapport aux grands pays de l’OCDE. La hausse récente des entrées d’investissement direct étranger n’est pas encore suffisante pour que celui-ci représente une part notable du PIB et du montant total de l’investissement. Cette édition 2006 de l’Examen des politiques de l’investissement consacré à la Fédération de Russie analyse l’évolution de l’environnement réglementaire depuis la publication de l’Examen 2004, en mettant l’accent sur la transparence de la politique de l’investissement et sa mise en œuvre effective. Cette édition présente des recommandations pour faire progresser la réforme du contrôle des capitaux, adopter les approches les moins restrictives en matière de législation sur les "secteurs stratégiques" et renforcer les accords internationaux de la Russie sur l’investissement.

    Abstract: Latin America is looking towards China and Asia -- and China and Asia are looking right back. This is a major shift: for the first time in its history, Latin America can benefit from not one but three major engines of world growth. Until the 1980s, the United States was the region’s major trade partner. In the 1990s, a second growth engine emerged with the European investment boom in Latin America. Now, at the dawn of the new century, the increasing global economic importance of Asia, and in particular China, potentially provides a third engine of growth. This book describes the opportunities and challenges that Latin American economies will face as Chinese importance in the world economy -- and in Latin America's traditional markets -- continues to grow.

    Abstract: Pension fund members across OECD countries have seen the loss or reduction of pension benefits in recent years. This has been associated with declining assets and increasing liabilities, with accounting and regulation changes crystallising these problems. Consequently, the issue of how to protect pension benefits has returned as a major topic of policy debate for many governments and for the pension industry worldwide. OECD countries have responded in different ways: Re-examining and altering accounting and funding rules; Strengthening or introducing pension benefit guarantee schemes; and Looking at the related issue of whether pension benefits should receive protection in bankruptcy and insolvency procedures. Finally, debate has also focused on whether pension fund related risks can or should be shared, with guarantees for insured or pension products attracting renewed attention. This volume looks at various methods of protecting pension benefits. It provides in-depth information on the application of these methods in OECD countries and analyses their advantages and drawbacks. Methods of risk sharing amongst pension fund beneficiaries, providers and sponsors are discussed through an analysis of insured pension contracts and of the pension systems in place in Denmark and Iceland. This publication offers unique international comparative and analytical data for policy makers and pension industry participants globally.

    Abstract: Pour la plupart des pays de l’OCDE, les mesures visant à réduire les charges administratives dont l’élimination de la paperasserie sont une priorité. Que peuvent faire les autorités publiques ? S’appuyant sur des groupes de réflexion et des comités consultatifs, les autorités attribuent de plus en plus souvent la compétence en la matière à un service de l’administration centrale. Cette démarche, qui mobilise l’ensemble des administrations, marque ces dernières années une étape déterminante, où la simplification administrative s’inscrit dans les dispositifs nationaux en faveur de la qualité de la réglementation.

    Abstract: The days when it was thought that the development process could and should be managed by governments alone are long past. The challenge today is how to involve other parts of society such as the private sector and NGOs. This book details the activities of the private sector in developing and emerging economies and demonstrates how these activities are inter-related with government policies. Understanding these activities and public-private interactions is indispensable for the private sector to play its full role in a nation's development process. To this end, several case studies provide concrete examples from Africa, Asia and elsewhere.

It examines whether performance information is actually used in budgetary decision making. If so, how? What are the links between resources and results? What impact has there been on improving efficiency, effectiveness and performance? What lessons have been learned from country experiences in applying this approach over a number of years? This book offers guidelines and recommendations on adapting budget systems to promote the use of performance information.

    Abstract: In today’s globalising world, the regional specialisations built up over decades are transforming rapidly. Many regions that were historically production centres in a given sector are losing out to lower-cost locations and reorienting to higher value-added niches. National programmes to promote cluster-based approaches -- linking firms, people and knowledge at a regional level -- are being used to meet the challenge. This report analyses the objectives, targeting, instruments and inter-governmental role sharing used by 26 programmes in 14 OECD countries. It will be of interest to policy makers, researchers, firms and others active in promoting innovation and competitiveness.

    Abstract: Aid alone cannot finance development; bringing in fresh sources of finance is essential. The emergence of a multiplicity of new financing options is good news for developing countries, but it also raises challenges. The authors in this stimulating book assess the changing landscape of international development finance from a global and a developing-country perspective. The result is a vast range of policy implications for donor and recipient alike. In an easily digestible format, the book provides recommendations on innovative policy mechanisms, on the use of both grants and loans in development finance, and on the challenges of managing diverse financial flows at country-level.

    Abstract: Although small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Mexico make up most of the firms in the formal economy, they are hampered by a lack of financing and skilled workers. This book assesses the comprehensive SME policies introduced by the Federal Government during the past six years. While lauding the improvements achieved by the new policy measures, including better access to financing, reduced lead times for firm creation, and higher survival rates, the review cautions that the capacity of states and local authorities to absorb federal policy programmes needs to be enhanced and tailor-made initiatives in favour of micro firms need to be expanded. In addition, the review makes practical recommendations on how to improve policy co-ordination, create an efficiency evaluation culture at all levels of government, and strengthen the entrepreneurial business environment.

Les thèmes ainsi abordés ont été : le pouvoir incitatif des instruments « flexibles » en faveur des stratégies de production propre et de la recherche-développement en environnement ; l’efficacité de diverses mesures d’incitation sur l’adoption de systèmes et outils de gestion environnementale ; et la relation entre performance environnementale et performance commerciale.

This conference proceedings includes papers showing how far various Asian countries have come in building effective and predictable insolvency systems and shows to what extent their systems provide confidence to investors and lenders.

    Abstract: Global value chains are radically altering how goods and services are produced--parts made in one country, for instance, are increasingly assembled in another and sold in a third. The globalisation of production has changed the industrial structure within OECD countries, and in some sectors blunted their competitiveness. Another major consequence has been fears of job losses, due to outsourcing and offshoring—not only in manufacturing but also in services. The rapid integration of China and India, with their large pool of educated people, further reinforces these concerns. How should OECD countries respond? This report brings together OECD data on the globalisation of value chains, including the rise of outsourcing/offshoring. It first examines how OECD countries are affected by the globalisation of production, on both the macroeconomic and sector-specific levels. The costs and benefits of globalisation are then discussed, with an emphasis on employment and productivity. Finally, this report analyses how globalisation impacts the competitiveness of OECD countries, highlighting the need for an effective innovation strategy. The report discusses not only the moving up the value chain that takes place in OECD countries but also in China, as R&D is increasingly going to emerging countries.

    Abstract: Provides an in-depth empirical analysis of an industrial survey undertaken in seven OECD countries (Japan, France, Germany, Hungary, Norway, Canada and the United States), spanning 4000 facilities in all manufacturing sectors, including small and medium-sized enterprises. The authors use their findings to illustrate the links between public (government) environmental policies and private (firm and facility) environmental management, investments, innovation and performance. With a specific focus on the public policy implications of the empirical findings, the book provides a foundation upon which to formulate public and corporate policy in the environmental sphere.

Il approfondit l’analyse dans trois domaines : les produits écologiquement préférables, les énergies renouvelables et les produits économes en énergie. Dans chacun des trois chapitres, les auteurs se penchent sur le champ et la définition de ces différentes catégories de produits, examinent les obstacles tarifaires et non tarifaires aux échanges et expliquent les retombées écologiques d’une libéralisation. Le rapport fait suite à un précédent ouvrage publié en 2005 sous le titre Biens et services environnementaux : pour une ouverture des marchés au service de l’environnement et du développement.

    Abstract: The analysis of the inner workings of the firm has been largely absent from economic assessments of environmental policy. In an effort to partly fill this vacuum, this book summarises the results of an OECD project which collected and analysed data from over 4,000 facilities in seven OECD countries. Issues addressed include the role of 'flexible' policy instruments in encouraging clean production strategies and environmental research and development; the effectiveness of different environmental policy incentives on the introduction of environmental management systems and tools; and the relationship between environmental and commercial performance.

    Abstract: Cutting red tape to improve business conditions has become a priority in OECD countries. This pilot study measures and compares administrative burdens in the transport sector across eleven member countries: Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and Turkey. The aim of the exercise is twofold: to identify good practices and provide input for national simplification strategies, and to develop and test a method for cross-country comparison. This report is published in English only. However, a French translation of the executive summary has been included in this volume.
