    Abstract: This report examines existing regulatory approaches and then explores how performance standards might be used to improve regulatory outcomes. Under a performance-based approach to regulation, standards would specify the performance required from vehicle operations rather than mandating how this level of performance is to be achieved. More flexible performance-based regulations provide for increased innovation and more rapid adoption of new technologies. The report explores the regulatory reform processes in some countries that have led to more direct, outcome-oriented approaches to regulating road transport vehicles.

    Welfare Reform in European Countries : A Microsimulation Analysis (2005)
    Paris : OECD Publishing
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 59 p. , 21 x 29.7cm
    Series Statement: OECD Social, Employment and Migration Working Papers no.28
    Keywords: Social Issues/Migration/Health
    Abstract: This paper estimates the welfare and distributional impact of two types of welfare reform in the 15 (pre-enlargement) member countries of the European Union. The reforms are revenue neutral and financed by an overall and uniform increase in marginal tax rates on earnings. The first reform distributes the additional tax revenue uniformly to everybody (traditional welfare) while the second reform distributes tax proceeds uniformly to workers only (in-work benefit). We build a simple model of labour supply encompassing responses to taxes and transfers along both the intensive and extensive margin. We then use EUROMOD to describe current welfare and tax systems in European Union countries and use calibrated labour supply elasticities along the intensive and extensive margins to analyze the effects of the two welfare reforms. We quantify the equity-efficiency trade-off for a range of elasticity parameters. In most countries, because of large existing welfare programmes with high phase-out rates, the uniform redistribution policy is undesirable unless the redistributive tastes of the government are extreme. The inwork benefit reform, on the other hand, is desirable in a very wide set of cases. We discuss the practical policy implications for European welfare policy.

    Analyse des mesures non tarifaires : Redevances et impositions douanières sur les importations (2005)

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Analysis of Non-Tariff Measures: Customs Fees and Charges on Imports
    Keywords: Trade
    Abstract: La présente étude porte sur la nature et l’étendue du recours aux redevances et impositions douanières sur les importations. Elle fait partie d’une série d’analyses consacrées à divers types de mesures non tarifaires, et a pour but de contribuer aux débats du Groupe de négociation sur l’accès aux marchés pour les produits non agricoles, du Conseil du commerce des marchandises et d’autres responsables des politiques commerciales. L’analyse s’appuie sur des données tirées des Examens des politiques commerciales de l’OMC, les notifications d’obstacles non tarifaires soumises au Groupe de négociation sur l’accès aux marchés ainsi que dans la base de données TRAINS et les notes par pays de la CNUCED. Il ressort de cette étude que la plupart des types de redevances et impositions douanières sur les importations sont appliquées sur une base ad valorem plutôt que sur les coûts sous-jacents des services fournis. L’utilisation des redevances et impositions douanières a aussi évolué au fil du temps : l’application de surtaxes douanières et de droits de facturation consulaire a notablement reculé au cours des deux dernières décennies, alors que davantage de pays imposent aujourd’hui des redevances aux importateurs pour diverses opérations douanières.

    The French Tax System : Main Characteristics, Recent Developments and Some Considerations for Reform (2005)
    Paris : OECD Publishing
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 43 p. , 21 x 29.7cm
    Series Statement: OECD Economics Department Working Papers no.439
    Keywords: Economics ; France
    Abstract: France belongs to the group of OECD countries with relatively high tax levels. In recent years French governments have been increasingly aware that the tax system may have negative effects on growth and employment and some reforms have been introduced to reduce tax distortions. There has, however, been no grand reform design and it is also not clear in which direction it should go. This paper describes the main characteristics and the developments of the French tax system and examines some of its economic distortions and complexities. A future tax reform agenda could focus on the following five elements: First, reduce labour tax distortions by further reductions in social security contributions for low paid workers and reducing the withdrawal rate for in-work benefits, financing these either by increasing the Contribution Sociale Généralisée (CSG) or value added tax. Second, simplify the personal income tax, widening its base to permit lower top rates, and introducing deduction at source. Consider merging it with the CSG if this can be done in an administratively efficient way. Third, reduce capital tax distortions by cutting the corporate tax rate and widening the tax base by reducing the number of special incentives for certain kinds of activity, and also reduce the bias in favour of debt finance. Fourth, increase the role of “green” taxes because of the efficiency gains they offer –- though not as significant sources of revenue. Fifth, improve, and reduce the costs of, tax administration by progressively merging tax administrations where possible. This Working Paper relates to the 2005 OECD Economic Survey of France (www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/france).

    Enhancing Brazil's Regulatory Framework for Network Industries : The Case of Electricity, Oil and Gas, and Water and Sanitation (2005)
    Paris : OECD Publishing
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 33 p. , 21 x 29.7cm
    Series Statement: OECD Economics Department Working Papers no.425
    Keywords: Economics ; Brazil
    Abstract: This paper assesses Brazil’s regulatory framework and agencies for several network industries (electricity, oil and gas, and water and sanitation). Private investment can be encouraged by tackling regulatory uncertainty in many areas. To this end, recent initiatives include a new regulatory model for the electricity sector, and new draft legislation on the role and structure of the regulatory agencies (currently in Congress). The overall approach to regulatory reform in network industries, particularly in electricity, is well thought out but the risk of regulatory failure should not be underestimated. Implementation will be the ultimate test of reform in this area. In natural gas, the dominance of Petrobras, the national oil company, throughout the industry has often been perceived as an obstacle to its development. Private investment in water and sanitation is constrained by a lack of clarity over the assignment of regulatory powers across different levels of government. These reforms are consistent with the government’s agenda for growth, focusing on meeting the challenge of improving the business environment. This Working Paper relates to the 2005 OECD Economic Survey of Brazil (www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/brazil).

    Abstract: It addresses the issue of environmentally preferable products (EPPs) in the context of the Doha Development Round and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation. It reviews available definitions; describes existing compilations of products and identifies broad categories of EPPs; and offers case studies on three groups of products addressing benefits (and costs) of liberalisation for selected countries and products. Three groups of products, including their parts and complements, were identified for case studies owing to their potential trade, environmental and developmental benefits: sisal and other fibres of the genus Agave, bicycles and solid-fuel cooking stoves.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Environmental Fiscal Reform for Poverty Reduction
    Keywords: Environment ; Taxation ; Development
    Abstract: Ce document de référence du CAD décrit les principaux aspects à prendre en considération dans la conception d’une « réforme fiscale écologique » (RFE). La RFE recouvre un ensemble de mesures fiscales et de tarification qui permettent d’obtenir des recettes budgétaires tout en contribuant à la réalisation d’objectifs environnementaux. Le but est de définir des « bonnes pratiques » et de fournir des indications sur la façon dont les organismes de coopération pour le développement peuvent aider les pays en développement à tirer parti des méthodes de RFE dans le cadre de leurs stratégies de développement et de lutte contre la pauvreté. Après un examen des instruments de la RFE et des problèmes techniques qui leur sont liés, les Lignes directrices et ouvrages de référence mettent l’accent sur les questions politico-économiques et les problèmes de gouvernance soulevés par la réforme. Le document se penche en particulier sur les conditions préalables d’une conception et d’une mise en œuvre couronnées de succès, sur les diverses étapes du cycle des politiques dans le cadre de la RFE, sur les problèmes à résoudre à chacune de ces étapes, ainsi que sur les principaux acteurs concernés. La façon dont les donneurs peuvent soutenir les processus de RFE y est également décrite. La suite du document examine les enjeux de la RFE dans le contexte de certains secteurs économiques particulièrement importants pour les pays en développement : exploitation des forêts, pêche, combustibles fossiles, électricité, eau potable et lutte contre la pollution industrielle.

    Keywords: Finance and Investment ; Governance ; Economics
    Abstract: Depuis l’accident nucléaire de Tchernobyl jusqu’aux attaques terroristes du 11 septembre, en passant par l’ouragan Andrew ou le tremblement de terre de Kobe, les années récentes ont vu se succéder des catastrophes de grande ampleur qui ont causé de lourdes pertes en termes de vies, d’actifs et de richesse. Ces événements ont mis à mal le fonctionnement de systèmes vitaux tels que les transports ou l’approvisionnement en énergie, et eu des répercussions dans les zones avoisinantes et parfois même lointaines. Ils ont pu créer un sentiment général d’anxiété, et parfois entraîner une méfiance durable des citoyens quant à la capacité des gouvernants à les protéger. Ce livre s’appuie sur un rapport préparé entre mai et juillet 2003 par une équipe pluridisciplinaire d’experts de l'OCDE et d’autres organisations. Il analyse les conséquences économiques et sociales des catastrophes de grande ampleur survenues dans le passé, et en tire des leçons pour l’avenir. Il s’intéresse en particulier aux moyens de mieux prévenir les désastres et à la façon dont on peut restaurer la confiance et assurer le redémarrage économique après leur survenue.

    Fast-Falling Barriers and Growing Concentration : The Emergence of a Private Economy in China (2005)
    Paris : OECD Publishing

    Language: English
    Pages: 31 p. , 21 x 29.7cm
    Series Statement: OECD Economics Department Working Papers no.471
    Keywords: Economics ; China, People’s Republic
    Abstract: This paper assesses the progress of China’s transition toward a market economy by examining the structure of ownership, productivity, and profitability, as well as the concentration of production across firms, industries and regions. It does this by analyzing a database of firm microdata of the quarter of a million industrial companies in operation during the 1998–2003 period. Results show that the private sector now accounts for more than half of industrial output, compared with barely more than a quarter in 1998, and operates much more efficiently than the public sector. Higher productivity has fed through to profitability, motivating greater regional specialization of production. These changes are consistent with what would be expected in a market-based economy, and suggests that reforms are making rapid progress. This Working Paper relates to the 2005 OECD Economic Survey of China (www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/china).

    Sustaining High Growth Through Innovation : Reforming the R&D and Education Systems in Korea (2005)
    Paris : OECD Publishing

    Language: English
    Pages: 53 p. , 21 x 29.7cm
    Series Statement: OECD Economics Department Working Papers no.470
    Keywords: Economics ; Korea, Republic of
    Abstract: With inputs of labour and capital slowing, sustaining high growth rates in Korea will increasingly depend on total factor productivity gains, which are in turn driven to a large extent by innovation. While a number of Korean firms are at the world technology frontier in areas such as ICT, the diffusion of technology to lagging sectors is a priority to sustain growth. This paper recommends policies to improve the science and technology system by upgrading the R&D framework, in part through closer linkages between firms, universities and the government, and enhanced intellectual property right protection. Strengthened competition, particularly in the service sector, is needed to promote the diffusion of new technologies. Innovation also requires policies to ensure the supply of high-quality human capital through reforms of tertiary education. This requires a restructuring of the university system through increased competition and deregulation, as well as additional financial resources to improve quality. This Working Paper relates to the 2005 OECD Economic Survey of Korea (www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/korea).

    Abstract: This publication continues efforts by the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) to develop tools and instruments for conflict prevention and for improving security and stability in the long term. The guidance underlines the positive role that the integrated reform of a country’s security system can play in stabilising fragile, conflict-prone or conflict affected states. This includes not only the armed forces, police and gendarmerie, intelligence services and justice and penal systems, but also the civil authorities responsible for oversight and democratic control.Part I contains a policy statement and paper endorsed in 2004 by development ministers and agency heads of the DAC and by the OECD council. It sets out the key concepts of security system reform (SSR) and suggests ways to support it in developing countries, taking into account regional dynamics. In Part II, a lead consultant examines the origins of the SSR agenda and the challenges that donors face in promoting it in partner countries. The Annex to the publication contains work by an expert working in each of the four regions: Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, and South-east Europe, the Baltics and the CIS. It sets out their assessment of the changes that are taking place in the way that developing countries in these regions think about security and provides an account and analysis of individual reform activities currently being undertaken.

    Product Market Competition and Economic Performance in New Zealand (2005)

    Series Statement: OECD Economics Department Working Papers no.437
    Keywords: Economics ; New Zealand
    Abstract: The paper examines the current state of competition in a number of sectors that are important for the economy. Because of the country’s small size and isolation, the analysis focuses on barriers to entry, investment and external trade, rather than some standard indicators of competition stance. The competition law and institutions are generally well-conceived, although high-profile litigation about mergers and market-power problems hasstretched their capacities and until recently, diverted attention from enforcement against price fixing. Overall, markets appear to function well in New Zealand, but progress towards liberalisation seems recently to have lost momentum. In particular, improvement could be made in three main areas: in the energy sector, lifting current barriers to investment and developing forward markets are necessary to ensure the economy will be able to cope with long-term challenges; in telecommunications markets, concerns have been mounting regarding high prices and slow deployment of broadband; and in the public sector, there is scope for further use of private delivery for public services and reducing state ownership, especially in potentially competitive markets. Some adjustments to the regulatory framework and policies in a number of other sectors would also be beneficial. This Working Paper relates to the 2005 OECD Economic Survey of New Zealand (www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/nz).

    Abstract: This OECD Territorial Review examines how Seoul – a city of 10.3 million people at the core of a capital region of 22.5 million people – is striving to upgrade its positioning from a gigantic national capital towards a 'world city' and a business hub in Northeast Asia. This quest for international competitiveness fits within a complex national agenda that gives priority to balanced development across the country, notably via the central government’s project to relocate administrative functions outside Seoul.

    Abstract: This book explores the contribution space systems might make in dealing with looming societal challenges related to threats to the physical environment and the management of natural resources, growing mobility and its consequences, increasing security concerns, and the shift to the information society. It discusses the challenges for developing space applications. It assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the institutional, legal and regulatory frameworks that currently govern space activities in the OECD area and beyond. Finally, it formulates an overall policy framework that OECD governments might use in drafting policies designed to ensure that the potential that space has to offer is actually realised.

    Abstract: This DAC Reference Paper outlines key issues faced when designing Environmental Fiscal Reform (EFR). EFR refers to a range of taxation and pricing measures which can raise fiscal revenues while furthering environmental goals. The objective is to provide insights and “good practice” on how development co-operation agencies can help developing countries take advantage of EFR approaches in both their development and poverty reduction strategies. Following a review of the instruments of EFR and related technical issues, Environmental Fiscal Reform for Poverty Reduction focuses on the political economy and governance aspects of EFR. This includes an examination of the precondition for successful design and implementation, the various steps involved through the EFR Policy Cycle, the challenges faced at each stage, and the main stakeholders involved. The role of donors in supporting EFR processes is also outlined. Subsequently, these issues are reviewed in relation to sectors of particular relevance for developing countries: forestry, fisheries, fossil fuel, electricity, drinking water and industrial pollution control.

    The Labour Market in Korea : Enhancing Flexibility and Raising Participation (2005)
    Paris : OECD Publishing
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 22 p. , 21 x 29.7cm
    Series Statement: OECD Economics Department Working Papers no.469
    Keywords: Economics ; Korea, Republic of
    Abstract: This paper analyses the increasing dualism in the Korean labour market and the need to encourage greater labour force participation. Although the rising proportion of non-regular workers lowers labour costs and increases employment flexibility, it has a negative impact on both equity and efficiency over the long term. Relaxing employment protection for regular workers and increasing the coverage of the social safety net for non-regular workers would help limit the extent of dualism. Population ageing is projected to be exceptionally rapid in Korea, leading to a significant decline in the workforce by mid-century. Steps to boost the participation of women through family-friendly policies are a priority. It is also important to encourage employees to stay at firms beyond the age of 50. Making the wage system more dependent on productivity and less on seniority and implementing a company pension system in place of the retirement allowance would help maintain the employment of older persons. This Working Paper relates to the 2005 OECD Economic Survey of Korea (www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/korea).

    Keywords: Trade
    Abstract: This study examines the nature and the extent of use of customs fees and charges that affect imports at borders. It is part of a series of studies that analyse various types of non-tariff measures and the objective of this paper is to contribute to discussions in the Negotiating Group on Market Access (NAMA), the Council on Trade in Goods and elsewhere in the trade policy community. The analysis draws on data collected from WTO Trade Policy Reviews, non-tariff barrier notifications to NAMA, and the UNCTAD TRAINS database and country notes. The study reveals that most types of customs fees and charges on imports are applied ad valorem rather than with regard to the underlying costs of the services rendered. The use of customs fees and charges has also evolved over time: the use of both customs surcharges and consular invoice fees has markedly declined over the last two decades while more countries nowadays charge importers fees for the use of various customs-related services.

    Innovation in the Business Sector (2005)

    Language: English
    Pages: 59 p. , 21 x 29.7cm
    Series Statement: OECD Economics Department Working Papers no.459
    Keywords: Economics
    Abstract: This paper draws together the key findings from separate detailed analyses of the determinants of R&D, patenting and the commercial introduction of innovations in the business sector in order to identify the policies, institutions and framework factors that provide the most effective means of supporting innovation. The evidence suggests that there is a clear role for framework conditions, framework policies and specific science policies, both independently and in interaction with each other. Policies that raise the absorptive capacity of the economy (the capacity to understand and make use of new knowledge) are likely to have dual benefits, not only helping to stimulate new innovative activities, but also helping to maximise the benefits to be gained from the existing stock of knowledge. Potential policy trade-offs also need to be taken into account. Some policies that offer benefits for current innovation also have costs that could adversely affect future incentives to innovate. Others have trade-offs when considered in combination. Cross-country differences in the level of R&D intensity are shown to be closely correlated with crosscountry differences in science policies and institutions. Framework conditions and policies have an important influence when accounting for cross-country differences in the rate of change of R&D intensities over time.

    Boosting Growth Through Greater Competition in Denmark (2005)

    Series Statement: OECD Economics Department Working Papers no.431
    Keywords: Economics ; Denmark
    Abstract: This paper discusses ways of strengthening the competitive environment in order to help boost productivity performance in various sectors of the Danish economy. It looks at a number of indicators of the strength of competition — including price levels, industrial concentration and product market regulation — and it discusses the appropriateness of the competition legislation framework. The paper then focuses on the large public sector, which has been slow to open up to competition, partly because of regulatory restrictions but also because some local governments are too small to handle tenders and provide an attractive market for private providers. The paper also looks at the process of liberalising network industries and at various regulations that still impede effective competition in a number of other sectors, including construction, housing, distribution and professional services.

    Abstract: This paper reviews the strengths and weaknesses of the Swedish healthcare system and the challenges that it will face in the future. It discusses ways to improve access to primary care, including different methods for paying GPs, whether access is less equitable than in other countries and the role of patient fees. The maximum waiting time guarantee for elective surgery is reviewed, along with ways of reducing regional variations in quality. The extent of decentralisation is questioned, as that may be affecting the quality of care and value for money in some areas, including elderly and psychiatric care. Mechanisms for improving the hospital sector are also examined including fee-for-service (DRG) payment mechanisms and whether for-profit hospitals would help. Finally, it considers ways to make financing more stable and sustainable.

    The Contribution of Foreign Affilliates to Productivity Growth : Evidence from OECD Countries (2005)
    Paris : OECD Publishing
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 52 p. , 21 x 29.7cm
    Series Statement: OECD Science, Technology and Industry Working Papers no.2005/08
    Keywords: Science and Technology
    Abstract: This study uses new information to determine the role of foreign affiliates in productivity growth. The study has three aims. Firstly, the study quantifies the contribution of foreign affiliates to productivity growth in OECD countries using a growth accounting approach. Secondly, the analysis shows how much of this contribution derives from an increase in the employment share of foreign affiliates in the host country relative to an increase in the productivity of existing foreign affiliates. Thirdly, the study compares the presence of foreign affiliates across OECD countries. The information is derived by matching three OECD data sources: the STAN database for industrial analysis, the AFA (Activities of Foreign Affiliates) and FATS (Foreign Affiliates in Trade and Services) databases. Despite its limitations, this combined database provides longitudinal industry level information on both the presence and the productivity of foreign affiliates in OECD countries. The analysis confirms that foreign affiliates can make an important contribution to productivity growth. The contribution is larger in the manufacturing sector. In the services sector and in low-tech manufacturing sectors, the largest component of the contribution of foreign affiliates is due to the increased employment share of foreign affiliates. In medium- and high-tech sectors, the contribution is mainly driven by stronger productivity growth of existing foreign affiliates. In the United States the contribution is consistently driven by stronger productivity growth of existing foreign affiliates in both the manufacturing and the services sectors.

    Abstract: For many years the school system in the United States has measured success by the number of dollars spent, computers and textbooks purchased, and programs created. Moreover, the measures of success have not focused on academic achievement. Since 1965, American taxpayers have spent more than $321 billion in federal funds on kindergarten through 12th grade public education, yet the average reading scores for 17-year-olds have not improved since the 1970s, according to the U.S. Department of Education.1 In an era where standards, testing and accountability are at the forefront of debate in the education community, parents, educators, administrators, legislators and stakeholders require an objective way of ascertaining the progress of public schools throughout the United States...

L’ouvrage débute par une explication des objectifs et de l’approche conceptuelle de l’enquête ainsi que par des profils comparés des compétences des adultes dans les pays participants. Il se poursuit par l’étude des liens existant entre éducation et compétences et formation des adultes et compétences. Les chapitres suivants présentent une comparaison de l’employabilité des jeunes et des plus âgés dans les pays participants, des compétences et des résultats économiques, des compétences et des technologies de l’information et des communications, des compétences et de l’immigration, des effets de l’éducation parentale sur les compétences et de l’influence des compétences sur la santé.

    Abstract: This study analyses the complex relationship between manufacturing FDI and trade in services. An examination of how recent developments in the economic landscape have resulted in changes in the industrial organisation as well the structure of multinational enterprises is presented. This analysis serves as the foundation for a discussion of fragmentation—and the increased use of traded services in the fragmentation process—in four different manufacturing value chains (apparel, automobiles, semiconductors, and wood furniture). To complement the value chain assessments, the results of empirical work examining the relationship between the liberalisation of services and manufacturing FDI are included. Finally, the study outlines several policy implications that draw upon the analysis. In sum, this study highlights how the increasingly international nature of fragmentation, in part the result of services liberalisation, has redefined the way in which many manufacturing firms use services, interact with service suppliers, and make foreign direct investments.

Il passe en revue les problèmes que peut poser le développement d’applications spatiales, et analyse les forces et les faiblesses des dispositifs institutionnels, légaux et réglementaires qui régissent actuellement les activités spatiales dans la zone de l’OCDE et au-delà. Sur la base de cette analyse, il propose pour finir un cadre général dans lequel les gouvernements pourraient inscrire des politiques qui permettraient de concrétiser le potentiel que l’espace a à offrir.

    Abstract: « Les technologies de l’information et des communications et la gestion des patrimoines immobiliers éducatifs » était le thème d’un séminaire international du PEB qui s’est tenu à Montréal, au Canada, du 31 octobre au 3 novembre 2004. Le but de ce séminaire était d’examiner la question de l’intégration des technologies de l’information et des communications (TIC) à la gestion des patrimoines immobiliers éducatifs en se demandant comment ces dernières sont susceptibles d’améliorer d’une part la fonctionnalité des espaces voués à ces apprentissages, d’autre part leur confort dans un contexte de développement durable ainsi que la sécurité et la protection des installations et enfin l’optimisation de la gestion technique et administrative que l’on en fait. Les participants ont eu l’opportunité de faire le constat des théories énoncées lors du séminaire tout en visitant des institutions innovantes dans chacun des domaines à Montréal et en banlieue. Un bref survol des visites est disponible ci-dessous.

    Getting the Most Out of Public Sector Decentralisation in Mexico (2005)

    Pages: 47 p. , 21 x 29.7cm
    Series Statement: OECD Economics Department Working Papers no.453
    Keywords: Economics ; Mexico
    Abstract: Enhanced autonomy of sub-national governments has spurred innovative management. Spending assignments across levels of government, however, often overlap and/or are not yet fully understood by most citizens. Sub-national governments’ accountability is further reduced by the heavy reliance on federal transfers, as opposed to own-revenues (taxes and user fees). In addition, the use of federal transfers as collateral for states' borrowing potentially undermines the role of financial markets in disciplining fiscal behaviour. Getting the most out of decentralisation would thus require a national agreement clarifying responsibilities for each level of government. Improving sub-national governments’ incentives in delivering cost-effective public services would further require improving the quality of information on actual spending and outcomes, raising the volume of their own taxes and reforming the grant systems. Decentralisation should also be more consistent with the aim of improving interregional equity in obtaining access to core public services. This Working Paper relates to the 2005 OECD Economic Survey of Mexico (www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/mexico).

    Product Market Regulation in OECD Countries : 1998 to 2003 (2005)

    Series Statement: OECD Economics Department Working Papers no.419
    Keywords: Economics
    Abstract: This paper describes trends in product market regulation in OECD countries over the period 1998 to 2003. The analysis is based on summary indicators of product market regulation that measure the degree to which policies promote or inhibit competition. The results suggest that regulatory impediments to competition have declined in all OECD countries in recent years. Regulation has also become more homogenous across the OECD as countries with relatively restrictive policies have, in some areas, moved towards the regulatory environment of the more liberalized countries. Within some countries product market policies have become more consistent across different regulatory provisions, although relatively restrictive countries still tend to have a more heterogeneous approach to competition. In general, domestic barriers to competition tend to be higher in countries that have higher barriers to foreign trade and investment, and high levels of state control and barriers to competition ...

    Abstract: The ultimate impact of multilateral and own-country agricultural policy reforms will depend on the extent to which those reforms “pass-through” across national borders, within countries, and from local markets down to the household level. At the heart of policy pass-through is the question of “price transmission”, i.e. the extent to which price changes in one market lead to price changes in another market...

    Abstract: L'aide internationale au développement apportée par le monde riche aux pays pauvres (« en développement ») représente d'importants flux de capitaux, de ressources humaines et d'assistance technique. Tandis que la direction nette de ces flux reste très controversée, on a identifié plusieurs obstacles à l’utilisation efficiente de l’aide par les pays en développement. Ils tiennent pour beaucoup aux difficultés de mise en oeuvre d’une « bonne gouvernance ». C’est pourquoi les donneurs cherchent de plus en plus à encourager la bonne gouvernance au sein des organismes destinataires de l’aide avec lesquels ils travaillent.

    Keywords: Trade
    Abstract: This paper presents the new findings from the on-going work of the OECD project on trade preference erosion. Following a review of the recent literature, the paper develops two main types of analysis. First, a detailed statistical analysis is undertaken drawing on the trade preferences database developed by the Secretariat and covering the Quad countries and Australia. This includes a presentation of the structure of tariff regimes in these key developed countries and identification of countries and sectors that are most reliant on tariff preferences. The second analytical approach uses the standard model and database of the Global Trade Analysis Project to simulate trade liberalisation scenarios that would entail preference erosion. While highlighting a number of cases of preference reliance, the paper underscores the advantages of multilateral liberalisation. Globally and for a majority of developing regions, liberalisation by preference-granting countries will result in positive welfare gains, notwithstanding the effects of preference erosion. In a comparatively small number of cases, however, the analysis points to a risk of net welfare losses under the scenarios modelled here.

    Abstract: This paper addresses tariff revenue concerns that some countries have been expressing in the context of the current multilateral trade negotiations under the Doha Development Agenda. This paper: discusses methodological issues associated with estimating revenue impacts; provides impact estimates for a sample of developing countries; links the differences in impacts to cross-country differences in existing tariff regimes as well as properties of formulas for tariff cuts; and, discusses efficient tax replacement policies and past experiences. Additionally, the paper presents results of a simulation of the welfare effects of reducing tariffs and simultaneously replacing lost tariff revenues with revenues from consumption tax. It concludes with some policy implications.

    Abstract: This report describes the complex and changing interrelationship between trade, domestic investment and foreign direct investment (FDI) and provides examples of good practices in trade policymaking that create a healthy investment climate in developing countries. A two-by-two taxonomy is used to analyse the impact of policies affecting imports and exports in both host and home countries. After describing a typical investment project and its participants, the study identifies issues and practices that trade policymakers may wish to address to ensure that their trade policies attract investors and enhance the benefits of investment for development. The purpose of the document is to develop a framework for an operational and practical guide for trade policymakers. As such, it was circulated as a background document for the OECD Initiative on Investment for Development: A Policy Framework for Investment.

    Abstract: Three novel macroeconomic policy challenges are discussed in this paper: the macroeconomic implications of China’s emergence; the implications of intensifying financial integration; and the interaction of Asia’s foreign exchange regime with monetary policy in the OECD area. First, China may now be regarded as a price maker on some international commodity and energy markets. Its global impact nowadays stretches importantly not just into goods and commodity markets, but equally into world financial markets. The acquisition by the Chinese official sector of large amounts of foreign assets has raised the country’s global cyclical, financial and macroeconomic importance. Hence, China should not just be perceived as a producer of low-priced goods, but likewise of “cheap savings”. China as a swing exporter/importer could destabilise commodity markets, with important repercussions for developing countries. Variations in China’s output gap will have important repercussions on key global ...

    Series Statement: OECD Economics Department Working Papers no.456
    Keywords: Economics
    Abstract: Innovation is a broad topic, about which much has been written. Almost every kind of public policy has either a direct or an indirect impact on factors that affect innovative activity. The purpose of this paper is to draw out the key implications from selected studies concerning a small number of science-related policies that are widely employed in order to deal with perceived market failures in the innovation process. The main issues considered are fiscal incentives for private R&D, the role of public research organisations, the regulation of intellectual property, the availability of finance, and the supply of skilled human resources for science and technology. Two central themes developed in the paper are the need for accurate evaluation of all these policies, since each may have costs as well as benefits, and the likely enhancement of the wider social benefits from innovation if knowledge is able to diffuse freely, and if potential beneficiaries have sufficient absorptive capacity to be able to understand and use new knowledge productively.

    Abstract: This report tries to explain observed changes in fertility rates across OECD countries, with an emphasis on socio-economic considerations. It aims to extend the understanding of fertility-related behaviours in different ways: first, by explaining recent developments in fertility rates and their relationships to other social drivers; second, by developing and testing new and expanded models to explain the cross-country variation in fertility rates due to labour markets, social and fiscal policies, and individual characteristics; third, by exploring which polices, through their effects on particular variables at micro and macro levels, have the biggest effect on fertility rates.

    Abstract: Sur la base d’une proposition formulée par la Suède à la réunion du Conseil de l’OCDE au niveau des ministres de 2003, l’OCDE a entrepris une étude sur les échanges et l’ajustement structurel, qui a été lancée en tant que projet horizontal par le Conseil après délibérations dans les comités de substance concernés. Le Conseil souhaitait que soit réalisée une analyse sectorielle et prospective des échanges et de l’ajustement structurel, étayée par des monographies par pays. L’objectif était d’achever le projet à temps pour la réunion ministérielle de 2005. L’objectif de cette étude a été de mettre en évidence, pour les pays développés et les pays en développement, les conditions nécessaires à la réussite de l’ajustement structurel induit par les échanges, en redéployant le travail et le capital vers des utilisations plus efficaces, tout en limitant les coûts de l’ajustement pour les individus, les communautés et la société dans son ensemble. Huit secteurs ont été plus particulièrement retenus : l’agriculture, les pêcheries, les textiles et les vêtements, l’acier, la construction navale, les véhicules à moteur, les services de santé et la soustraitance internationale des TI et des services aux entreprises.

    Series Statement: OECD Development Centre Working Papers no.246
    Keywords: Development
    Abstract: The aim of this Working Paper is to broaden the debate on “pro-poor growth”. An exclusive focus on the income dimension of poverty has neglected the non-income dimensions. After an examination of prominent views on the linkages between economic growth, inequality, and poverty reduction this paper discusses the proper definition and measurement of pro-poor growth. Bolivia serves as a case study to illustrate the usefulness of applying the analytical toolbox for pro-poor growth to non-income dimensions of poverty and offers some important new insights about differences in the evolution of both poverty dimensions. Growth in Bolivia has been more pro-poor in the non-income than in the income dimension. The analysis furthermore shows that extending use of the pro-poor growth toolbox to non-income dimensions of poverty greatly improves our understanding of the trends in non-income indicators. Such understanding is pivotal for a careful assessment of the linkages between income and nonincome poverty along the entire income distribution. It is equally important for poverty monitoring and for defining policy interventions. It also allows deeper analysis of the relative merits of economic growth, compared to direct intervention aimed at improving non-income dimensions of poverty.

Parmi les thèmes abordés, citons : les contraintes réglementaires et administratives ; la formation à l’entrepreneuriat ; l’accès des PME aux financements, à la technologie, à l’innovation, et aux marchés internationaux ; l’entrepreneuriat féminin ; et les questions relatives à l’action locale. Cette troisième édition présente par ailleurs la Déclaration ministérielle d’Istanbul intitulée « Promouvoir la croissance des PME innovantes et compétitives sur le plan international ». Cette déclaration a été élaborée quatre années après la Charte de Bologne sur les politiques à l’égard des PME et comporte un ensemble de recommandations d’action. Elle a été adoptée par les ministres et les représentants de 72 gouvernements au cours de la Deuxième conférence ministérielle de l’OCDE sur les PME qui s’est tenue à Istanbul en juin 2004.

    Abstract: Les pays en développement redoutent que les réductions tarifaires multilatérales ne pénalisent leur secteur agricole à cause de l'érosion des préférences. Ce rapport indique que même si ce risque peut exister pour certains pays et certains secteurs, d’autres facteurs que les régimes préférentiels peuvent limiter les exportations de ces pays. L'ouvrage apporte des informations sur l’ampleur du recours des pays en développement à une série de régimes préférentiels non réciproques mis en place par l’Union européenne et les États-Unis. Les données secondaires sont complétées par des entretiens menés auprès des intervenants de ces marchés, qui viennent éclairer les résultats empiriques exposés. Les préférences accordées aux pays d’Afrique font l’objet d’une section spéciale proposant un état des lieux pour ce groupe de pays en développement.

    Keywords: Agriculture and Food
    Abstract: Par-delà sa fonction première qui est de fournir des aliments et des fibres, l’agriculture peut également produire des services environnementaux ou générer des effets négatifs tels que la pollution. Les seules forces du marché ne suffisent pas à assurer que le niveau des externalités positives et négatives de l’agriculture demeure acceptable pour la société. Les interventions des pouvoirs publics peuvent cependant aussi s’avérer problématiques en menant à des politiques coûteuses et inefficaces. Ce rapport donne des éclairages sur le potentiel des solutions non gouvernementales, telles que le développement des mécanismes de marché et la promotion des transactions privées et des approches volontaires, à constituer de meilleures réponses alternatives dans certains cas. Une classification a été établie et quatorze cas particuliers examinés illustrant un large spectre de situations dans un grand nombre de pays de l’OCDE. Les exemples traités vont de l’utilisation de primes au prix du marché, à des fonds environnementaux, des facilités de crédits ou des crédits ou contingents échangeables. Ils couvrent les externalités positives comme négatives. Certains des exemples considérés illustrent des approches innovantes ou nouvelles, jamais tentées auparavant tandis que d’autres ont une longue histoire derrière elles. Le rapport fait la synthèse des résultats des études de cas, en se concentrant sur les implications pour le rôle des pouvoirs publics et en évaluant l’efficacité relative, l’équité et la stabilité des approches décrites en comparaison d’une intervention directe des pouvoirs publics.

    Abstract: This volume tests the relevance and usefulness of guarantees to public and private actors in developing countries, especially for funding development projects. Not to be confused with export credit guarantees usually accorded to nationals with the aim of stimulating exports and overseas investment, development guarantees are destined for actors in emerging or developing economies where risk is a deterrent to lending or investment. The presence of guarantees from multilateral or bilateral agencies can encourage financial flows either to increase or to go where they otherwise might not. In this way, they can have a positive effect on sovereign ratings as well as their immediate direct effect on the local development environment. As a bonus, this study finds, development guarantees can help stimulate and stabilise local capital markets, thus providing future benefits for both public and private investors. “A timely book, throwing urgently-needed light on this little-understood topic, which could be a vital key to economic progress in developing countries. With my deep congratulations to the author.” --Michel Camdessus, Honorary Governor of the Banque de France,formerly Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund)

    Keywords: Finance and Investment ; Russian Federation
    Abstract: Malgré d’abondantes possibilités d’investissement, la Fédération de Russie a attiré relativement peu d’investissements directs étrangers (IDE) et elle a subi une fuite massive de capitaux. Ce phénomène résulte de restrictions sectorielles à l’encontre de l’investissement étranger ainsi que d’importants facteurs institutionnels qui affectent aussi les entreprises nationales. Depuis dix ans, la Russie a sensiblement amélioré les conditions de l’activité des entreprises, adoptant des lois de protection de la propriété et d’autres droits des investisseurs et mettant en place les institutions nécessaires au fonctionnement d’une économie de marché. La Russie a également signé des conventions sur l’investissement et sur la double imposition avec des pays de l’OCDE ou des pays tiers. En 2002, l’OCDE a publié Fédération de Russie : quel environnement pour l'investissement ? Lois, politiques et institutions. Cette étude formulait des propositions en vue de s’appuyer sur ces évolutions positives et d'améliorer davantage les mesures en faveur de l’investissement étranger. L’examen 2004 des politiques de l’investissement de la Fédération de Russie évalue les progrès accomplis depuis la publication de l’étude de 2001 et propose aux pouvoirs publics des solutions destinées à améliorer davantage l’environnement de l’investissement. Il s’agit notamment d’assouplir les dernières restrictions à l’encontre de l’IDE dans plusieurs secteurs de l’économie, de poursuivre les efforts de simplification des procédures administratives et d’amélioration de leur transparence et de veiller au respect des textes législatifs et réglementaires fédéraux au niveau des administrations infra-fédérales. Cette étude s'inscrit dans le cadre des relations de coopération que l'OCDE entretient avec les économies non membres à travers le monde.

    Abstract: Investigating over twenty cases where exports from developing countries faced new environmental requirements, this OECD report examines how environmental requirements can be trade barriers for developing countries. These case studies, covering a diverse number of products and exporting countries, trace a number of environmental regulations, standards and labelling schemes, from conception through implementation. In so doing, they highlight the difference that sensitivity to potential trade effects can make when designing environmental regulations and standards. They also show that timely technical assistance has played a crucial role in helping exporters from developing countries adjust to new environmental requirements without suffering adverse trade effects.

    Abstract: Health technology has the tremendous potential to change our understanding of disease, transform the delivery of health-care services, and improve health outcomes. But using such technology comes at a price. Health Technologies and Decision Making analyses the barriers to, and facilitators of, evidence-based decision making in OECD health-care systems. It examines how countries can successfully manage the opportunities and challenges arising from health-related technology by optimising decision-making processes, recognising the value of innovation, dealing with uncertainty, and producing and co-ordinating health technology assessment. The book also considers the capacity of health systems to respond to the particular challenges of fast-developing health-related biotechnologies.

    Abstract: Policy Coherence for Development: Promoting Institutional Good Practice sets out the latest thinking on institutional approaches to help governments achieve policy coherence in support of development. It provides a synthesis of lessons learned from peer reviews of OECD countries, specific case studies, and recent workshops involving senior government officials. It offers practical ways forward for mustering political will, building analytical capacity, improving co-ordination mechanisms, and taking action in specific priority areas. It suggests an analytical framework to help assess and compare how well countries join-up policies across government to meet agreed development goals. Achieving policy coherence is one of the most difficult political and economic challenges of development, and this book highlights examples of good institutional practice among OECD countries in addressing this issue.

    Series Statement: Radiation Protection
    Keywords: Nuclear Energy ; Japan
    Abstract: One of the main challenges facing radiological protection experts is how to integrate radiological protection within modern concepts of and approaches to risk governance. It is within this context that the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) decided to develop new general recommendations to replace its Publication 60 recommendations of 1990. In the process of developing these new recommendations, the views of the ICRP have evolved significantly, largely due to stakeholder involvement that has been actively solicited by the ICRP. In this regard, it was upheld during the First Asian Regional Conference organised by the NEA in October 2002 that the implementation of the new system must allow for regional, societal and cultural differences. In order to ensure appropriate consideration of these differences, the NEA organised the Second Asian Regional Conference on the Evolution of the System of Radiological Protection. Held in Tokyo on 28-29 July 2004, the conference included presentations by the ICRP Chair as well as by radiological experts from Australia, China, Japan and Korea. Within their specific cultural and socio-political milieu, Asia-Pacific and western ways of thought on how to improve the current system of radiological protection were presented and discussed. These ways of thinking, along with a summary of the conference results, are described in these proceedings.

    Abstract: This study analyses the impact of democratic decentralisation on the chances of socially excluded groups to participate in newly created local governance institutions – Panchayati Raj Institutions – in three Indian states. This institutional reform included a quota for the disadvantaged – women and lower castes – to ensure their effective participation. The comparative analysis on the determinants of participation of these groups and the poor vis-à-vis other groups across the states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh yields highly interesting results, relevant beyond the Indian context. First, the outcomes of decentralisation on participation are different across states and between different marginalised groups. While in Kerala socially disadvantaged groups and the poor are represented more than other groups at the Panchayat level, in Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh the socially disadvantaged groups are as represented as the others whereas the poor continue to be largely ...

    An Empirical Contribution to Knowledge Production and Economic Growth (2005)

    Series Statement: OECD Science, Technology and Industry Working Papers no.2005/10
    Keywords: Science and Technology
    Abstract: We examine the dynamics of knowledge production for a panel of 19 OECD countries. A new and unique data set is used to proxy the domestic flows of “new-to-the-world” knowledge and ideas. We rigorously address the cross-country heterogeneity in the production of knowledge and the endogeneous nature of this process. The parameters of the knowledge production function point to large cross-country differences. Domestic and foreign stocks of knowledge and ideas have a net positive effect on the production (flows) of new ideas. Countries with a low domestic knowledge base appear to improve their TFP considerably through the accumulation of knowledge. This effect is very modest for countries that already have a sizeable domestic knowledge base. We find ample evidence of duplicate R&D but no support for endogenous growth. Given the heterogeneous nature of knowledge production across OECD countries, R&D policy will need to be adapted to the specific nature of each country; a one-size-fits-all approach will not be effective.

    Abstract: This report examines factors that have proven helpful in achieving the successful transfer of environmentally sound technologies (EST) to developing countries. It provides an overview of the main issues lying behind trade-related aspects of EST transfers. It then briefly examines the main channels for the transfer of such technologies and the factors which are relevant to technology transfer in general, and to EST transfer in particular. It concludes with a summary of conditions for successful EST transfers which seem to be particularly relevant in the context of trade. These include government regulation and marketbased instruments, trade-related policies and practices, intellectual property rights, capacity, and financing. The report is based on the extensive literature dealing with technology transfer in general, and EST transfer specifically, and on empirical work summarised in a range of case studies.

    The Economic Impact of Trade Facilitation (2005)

    Keywords: Trade
    Abstract: This paper examines the economic impact of trade facilitation and in particular the link between trade facilitation and trade flows, government revenue and foreign direct investment. It is part of a series of studies that analyse various aspects of trade facilitation and the objective is to contribute to discussions in the WTO Negotiating Group on Trade Facilitation (NGTF) and elsewhere in the trade policy community. The paper finds that improved and simplified customs procedures would have a significant positive impact on trade flows. It further shows that a large number of mostly developing countries have managed to boost government revenue by implementing customs modernisation programmes that result in more efficient collection of trade taxes. In addition, the paper demonstrates that facilitated cross-border movement of goods would have a positive effect on the ability of a country to attract foreign direct investment and better integrate in international production supply chains.

    Series Statement: OECD Economics Department Working Papers no.415
    Keywords: Economics
    Abstract: It has been argued that one solution to global current account imbalances is for countries with current account surpluses to undertake structural reforms. This would raise their potential growth, which is assumed to put downward pressure on the current account position. This paper takes a closer look at how such structural reforms in labour markets, product markets, and financial markets could be expected to affect current accounts. It also tests empirically, using pooled time-series techniques (that control for the influence of relative cyclical positions, government fiscal balances and the real exchange rate), whether or not reforms in these areas would have any significant relationship with current accounts. The overall finding is that indicators of structural reforms do have a significant relationship with the current account but the contribution of these variables to explain current account positions is quite limited ...

    Trade Preference Erosion : Expanded Assessment of Countries at Risk of Welfare Losses (2005)

    Series Statement: OECD Trade Policy Papers no.20
    Keywords: Trade
    Abstract: This paper presents additional findings from the on-going work of the OECD project on trade preference erosion. The purpose was to assess in more detail the situation of those preference-reliant countries seen as being most at risk of experiencing negative welfare effects from preference erosion as a consequence of multilateral tariff liberalisation (building on Lippoldt and Kowalski, 2005). Based on a selection criterion, 7 developing countries were chosen for inclusion in the present study: Bangladesh, Madagascar, Morocco, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. Using the standard GTAP database and model, the paper considers a scenario of multilateral tariff liberalisation involving a 50% linear reduction in the ad-valorem equivalent measure of protection. Whereas most developing regions experienced welfare gains as a consequence of such a scenario, the selected countries were found to be at risk of modest welfare losses, most of which were associated with tariff liberalisation by European Union countries (EU-15). Where negative welfare impacts occurred in the selected developing countries, they tended to be driven primarily by terms of trade losses (especially by negative export price effects). In line with the modest size of the estimated welfare losses, the overall impact in terms of structural adjustment -- as measured by an index of structural change -- tended to be relatively modest. For three of the seven developing countries, welfare losses primarily associated with the EU-15 tariff liberalisation are estimated to be more than fully offset by greater gains arising from improved market access in other sectors and markets.

    Series Statement: Energy Policies of IEA Countries
    Keywords: Energy ; Norway
    Abstract: This International Energy Agency review of Norway's energy policies and programmes examines recent developments related to each type of energy as well as environmental and market issues. Energy policy in Norway continues to be the object of considerable domestic and international political attention. The development of its petroleum resources contributes significantly to Europe’s security of supply. Norway enjoys extensive access to hydro power and its pioneer role in the liberalised Nordic electricity market is commendable. However, Norway is now facing important challenges. Energy consumption growth is outpacing onshore energy production, and CO2 emissions are rising. Better understanding by the general public is essential to overcome these challenges. Meeting its Kyoto target without compromising security of supply is Norway’s biggest energy policy challenge. We recommend a comprehensive public debate covering all the tools of climate change policy, including intensive use of Kyoto mechanisms. Norway expects a significant contribution from Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), but the technological and economic realities of CCS need to be considered in the public debate and decision making. The Norwegian petroleum industry is close to reaching peak of production. The government’s transparent and forward-looking way of addressing this is commendable. It has taken action to increase exploration and to open industrial opportunities further. The partial privatisation of Statoil is an important progress since the last review. Norwegian management of petroleum resources is an example of “best practice” in the management of valuable natural resources in a small economy. Low rainfall in 2002-03 highlighted the importance of trade and domestic investment in generating capacity to secure reliable electricity services. The planned transmission link between Norway and the Netherlands is therefore important. Increasing domestic access to gas can also make a significant contribution to security of supply in electricity, as it contributes to the diversification of generation sources. Congestion has become a regular feature in the Nordic electricity market, and more integrated regulatory planning and the development of transmission capacity should be addressed in concert with other Nordic countries.

    Abstract: The Hungarian government has recently been focusing on innovation policy as part of a wider campaign to improve the business environment. This paper first underscores the importance of a good general business climate in encouraging both formal and informal R&D activity as well as ensuring Hungary benefits from the international diffusion of innovation. In examining specific innovation policies, the new National Innovation System is described and an assessment is made of the National Innovation Fund and the Innovation Contribution used to fund it. Assessment of changes in R&D tax allowances and in the strategy for giving out grants for research is also made. The paper also looks at regulatory reform to improve industry-science links, including the government’s recent legislative changes that make it easier for universities to set up spin-off companies. The final section considers what further reforms are needed to help tertiary and compulsory education become more conducive to innovation and to encourage the deepening of human capital in general.

The aim of this seminar was to examine how information and communications technology (ICT) can be incorporated into educational property management by investigating three issues: how ICT can make educational spaces more functional and comfortable in a sustainable development perspective, how it can improve the security and protection of facilities and, lastly, how it can optimise their technical and administrative management. The participants had the opportunity to see the theories presented in each field illustrated concretely by visiting innovative institutions in Montreal and its suburbs. A brief summary of these visits is provided below.

    House Prices and Inflation in the Euro Area (2005)

    Series Statement: OECD Economics Department Working Papers no.450
    Keywords: Economics ; Euro Area
    Abstract: The inflation measure used by the European Central Bank excludes housing costs that are borne by home owners even though they make up more than a tenth of household final consumption expenditure in the euro area. Has the exclusion of owner-occupied housing costs driven a wedge between the official harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP) and the cost of living? To answer this question, a measure of the user cost of housing capital has been constructed for every euro area country (except Luxembourg). User costs are measured taking into account property taxes but net of tax breaks that home owners enjoy on mortgage repayments. The user cost measure is combined with the HICP to derive a “broad” inflation estimate. For the sake of comparison, an alternative estimate has been put together using imputed rents. The main conclusion is that owner-occupied housing costs have an impact. Another important conclusion is that the effect of owner-occupied housing costs on inflation varies noticeably with the method used to incorporate them into the price index. The paper finally discusses the choice of the method from the point of view of economic policy makers. "This Working Paper relates to the 2005 OECD Economic Survey of Euro Area (www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/Euroarea)"

    Abstract: Access to energy is essential for economic, social and political development. Despite its enormous potential in fossil and renewable energy sources, Africa suffers from major energy deficits. The continent’s resources are underexploited or exported in raw form or wasted in the course of extraction or transport. As a result, supplies available for local populations are largely insufficient and energy consumption is essentially reliant on biomass.

    Abstract: Qu’implique la création d’environnements d’apprentissage pour le XXIe siècle ? Comment les installations scolaires peuvent-elles servir d’outils pédagogiques et répondre aux besoins des élèves dans le futur ? Quels éléments sont nécessaires pour concevoir des établissements efficaces et comment l’architecture reflète-t-elle les besoins éducatifs ? Ce sont là quelques-unes des questions qui ont été traitées pendant le séminaire sur le thème « Concevoir les environnements d’apprentissage du XXIe siècle » organisé par le ministère britannique de l’Éducation et des Compétences (DfES) et le Programme de l’OCDE pour la construction et l’équipement de l’éducation (PEB). Les réponses à ces questions, apportées par quatre experts de la construction de bâtiments scolaires, sont résumées ci-après. Un professionnel en conception et gestion explique comment un bâtiment scolaire peut servir d’outil pédagogique tridimensionnel. Un directeur d’établissement public en Nouvelle-Zélande décrit la façon dont son école récemment construite a été conçue pour répondre aux besoins pédagogiques des élèves du XXIe siècle. Un spécialiste en planification de la construction présente ce qu’il considère comme des éléments essentiels à la conception d’installations efficaces pour le futur, en s’appuyant sur sa propre expérience en matière de planification d’établissements scolaires. Enfin, le directeur d’un cabinet d’architectes définit les objectifs de l’enseignement secondaire et leur lien avec la conception.

    Abstract: Emerging market companies make up 3.8 per cent of the FT500, the 500 largest global traded companies1 and 4.6 per cent of the Dow Jones Global Index of 2,500 companies.
