    Abstract: Intellectual property rights (IPRs) have an important role to play in helping China realise a modernisation strategy based on technological upgrading and integration into the global economy. Through the protection they offer to inventors, IPR regimes can help promote domestic technological innovation and facilitate transfer of foreign technology. Having recognised the importance of IPRs, the Chinese government has taken great strides in the past two decades to develop a modern system of IPR legislation and to further amend it in accordance with China’s membership in the World Trade Organisation (WTO). Progress with respect to IPR enforcement, however, still falls short of the levels needed to stimulate Chinese innovation and meet the expectations of the international business community. This report summarises two policy dialogues that the OECD organised with China in Spring 2004 on IPR issues. These dialogues aimed at assisting China in its efforts to further improve IPR ...

    Abstract: This OECD Emission Scenario Document (ESD) describes emission scenarios for three parts of the life cycle for antifouling products used on ship and boat hulls: (1) application; (2) service life; and (3) removal. The primary aim of this ESD is for use in risk assessments in notification and authorisation procedures in regulatory frameworks used in OECD countries. The ESD is intended to be used for general risk assessment and is explicitly not for site specific risk assessments. Furthermore it is important to note that the recommended scenarios for service life of the antifouling products in the ESD are limited to the calculation of the initial local concentrations in the primary receiving environmental compartments.

    Abstract: Business cycle indexes are used to get a timely and frequent description of the state of the economy and its likely development in the near future. This paper discusses two methods for constructing business cycle indexes, the traditional NBER method and a recently developed dynamic factor model, and compares these methods for the euro area. The results suggest that a reliable index can be constructed from a limited number of series that are selected using economic logic. We next decompose this index to identify variables that seem to be driving the euro area cycle.Business cycle indexes are used to get a timely and frequent description of the state of the economy and its likely development in the near future.

    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.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Synergies Between Trade in Environmental Services and Trade in Environmental Goods
    Keywords: Trade
    Abstract: Le présent document traite de la question des synergies entre les échanges de services environnementaux et les échanges de biens environnementaux. Il fait partie d'une série d'études de l'OCDE analysant diverses questions en rapport avec le paragraphe 31(iii) du Programme de Doha pour le développement adopté en 2001 par l'Organisation mondiale du commerce, qui demande que des négociations soient engagées à l'OMC sur « la réduction ou, selon qu'il sera approprié, l'élimination des obstacles tarifaires et non tarifaires visant les biens et services environnementaux. » Aux fins de la présente étude, la définition des services environnementaux englobe les services de gestion des eaux usées, les services de gestion des déchets solides, les services d'assainissement et services analogues et les autres services environnementaux. Les services liés au captage, à l'épuration et à la distribution de l’eau sont aussi examinés dans ce document. Après avoir décrit la nature de chaque service environnemental, l'étude définit les grandes catégories de biens utilisés dans la prestation de ces services, et note que pour certains biens, ce sont les services environnementaux qui stimulent la croissance des marchés. L'analyse s'appuie ensuite sur des études de cas réels ayant trait à des exportations interentreprises de services environnementaux, principalement en provenance de pays de l'OCDE à destination de pays en développement, pour donner un aperçu général des types de biens environnementaux utilisés par les prestataires de services, et de la façon dont ces derniers se procurent ces biens. Les données qualitatives présentées dans les études de cas montrent que bon nombre des biens environnementaux figurant sur les listes de l'APEC ou de l'OCDE sont utilisés dans la prestation de services environnementaux. C'est notamment le cas des articles permettant de contenir, transporter, traiter et filtrer des liquides, ainsi que des instruments de surveillance et de mesure. Nombre de ces biens sont obtenus auprès de fournisseurs locaux, soit d'emblée, soit après que la demande locale des services associés s'est développée. Les avantages sont nombreux pour les entreprises qui s'adressent à des prestataires de services environnementaux, car elles peuvent ainsi se concentrer sur leurs activités de base, et faire supporter à d'autres entreprises une partie de la charge que représente le respect des réglementations environnementales. Des emplois sont également créés au niveau local. Pour les économies en développement, la conclusion générale de cette étude est que les avantages potentiels d'une libéralisation simultanée des échanges de services environnementaux et des échanges de biensenvironnementaux sont probablement beaucoup plus grands que ceux de la libéralisation d'un seul de ces types d'échanges.

    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.

    Abstract: Computer and video games is a young industry with rapid growth underpinned by technological development. The global market in 2003 was over USD 21 billion compared with USD 32 billion for the recorded music industry. The main segments are off-line consoles and PCs; online and wireless games are still relatively small but there is a general online trend and the industry is increasingly strategic for media, Internet and consumer electronics firms. “Dis-intermediation” is occurring in the value chain as distributor and retail roles are taken by publishers directly or via ISPs and game Web sites. ISPs are also acting as content aggregators and game Web sites and portals as retailers (“re-intermediation”). Development barriers include the availability of network infrastructure, skills and management challenges, financing issues, and the legal and payments infrastructure. The policy framework affecting the industry includes R&D and technology, market and skills development; IPR and piracy issues; online business conditions including broadband quality, micro-payments, standards and taxation issues; and social dimensions including culture, age ratings and content issues, and games applications in education.

    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.

    Abstract: Lors de sa réunion de mai 2003, le Conseil au niveau des ministres avait demandé à l’OCDE d’analyser la contribution du secteur des services à la croissance de l’emploi, à la productivité et à l’innovation et de mettre en évidence les facteurs, institutions et politiques susceptibles de renforcer les perspectives de croissance de ce secteur. En conséquence, l’OCDE a lancé une étude associant plusieurs Directions. Le présent rapport tire les principales conclusions de fond de ce projet. Il complète le rapport de l’OCDE sur les échanges et l’ajustement structurel, et propose des orientations stratégiques sur la manière dont les pays de l’OCDE peuvent s’ajuster à l’évolution des échanges internationaux. Pris ensemble, ces rapports présentent un programme concret en vue de renforcer la croissance et de réagir à la mondialisation, au changement structurel et à la montée en puissance des services.

    Abstract: Ce rapport présente les premiers résultats comparables à l’échelle internationale de l’enquête 2003 du Programme international de l’OCDE pour le suivi des acquis des élèves (PISA), qui porte sur le niveau des élèves de 15 ans en lecture, en mathématiques et en sciences dans 25 pays de l’OCDE. Cette année, l’accent a été mis sur les mathématiques. Il ne se limite pas à indiquer le classement relatif des pays en matière de culture mathématique, de compréhension de l’écrit et de culture scientifique. Il étudie également un large éventail d’aspects éducatifs tels que la motivation des élèves à l’idée d’apprendre, l’image qu’ils ont d’eux-mêmes et les stratégies d’apprentissage qu’ils privilégient. Par ailleurs, ce rapport analyse la variation des performances selon le sexe et le milieu socio-économique. Plusieurs facteurs associés à l’acquisition de savoirs et savoir-faire à la maison et à l’école sont étudiés, ainsi que leurs interactions et leurs implications pour l’action publique. Enfin, et c’est sans doute le plus important, cet ouvrage montre que certains pays se distinguent à la fois par de bonnes performances et des degrés élevés d’égalité des chances dans l’éducation. Le rapport présente de multiples indicateurs montrant comment les pays participants se situent les uns par rapport aux autres sous différents aspects des résultats de l’enseignement, ainsi que les facteurs qui jouent sur ces résultats.

    Keywords: Trade
    Abstract: Cette étude, qui s’appuie sur les travaux antérieurs de l’OCDE relatifs aux aspects réglementaires des échanges, examine les interrelations entre la réforme de la réglementation intérieure et l’ouverture des marchés. La partie 1 traite des effets des réglementations intérieures et de la réforme de la réglementation sur l’ouverture des marchés, montrant comment, à l’aide d’instruments et de méthodes de réforme élaborés, les gouvernements peuvent créer des réglementations et des procédures réglementaires qui servent efficacement les objectifs de leurs politiques tout en favorisant l’accès aux marchés. La partie 2 montre que l’ouverture des marchés internationaux peut contribuer à faciliter la réforme de la réglementation intérieure. Les accords commerciaux signés aux échelons bilatéral, régional et multilatéral peuvent promouvoir des principes généraux ou des pratiques spécifiques de bonne réglementation et aider à guider ou à orienter les efforts des différents pays en matière de réforme de la réglementation. Enfin, la partie 3 analyse les avantages mutuels de la réforme de la réglementation et d’un système multilatéral ouvert pour le commerce et l’investissement. La thèse avancée est qu’en rehaussant l’efficience économique intérieure, en renforçant la compétitivité internationale des entreprises nationales et en réduisant les obstacles aux échanges et à l’investissement, une réforme de la réglementation commerciale permet aux pays de mieux profiter de la libéralisation des échanges et de l’ouverture des marchés mondiaux.

    Keywords: Trade
    Abstract: Le présent document étudie de manière empirique l’influence que peut exercer une meilleure protection des droits de propriété intellectuelle (DPI) sur le transfert international de technologie par l’intermédiaire de la concession de licences. L’analyse est centrée sur les activités des multinationales des États-Unis en matière de licences ainsi que sur les alliances internationales entre pays développés et en développement dans ce domaine. Elle utilise à la fois des données agrégées et des données au niveau des entreprises. L’étude fournit des éléments généraux d’appui à l’idée que le renforcement des droits de propriété intellectuelle – mesuré par des indicateurs choisis – a eu un effet net positif sur le transfert de technologies au moyen de licences pendant les années 90. Elle montre que, pour les économies en développement, la réforme des DPI doit faire partie d’une stratégie générale de promotion du développement économique, en association avec d’autres réformes complémentaires. En particulier, les droits de brevet et l’efficacité de leur mise en œuvre sont déterminants pour permettre aux entreprises des pays en développement d’accéder aux technologies et au savoir-faire et de les exploiter dans le cadre d’accords de concession de licence avec des parties des pays développés. Dans l’ensemble, cette analyse indique que les pays en développement qui ont cherché à remédier aux faiblesses rencontrées dans ces domaines ces dernières années ont généralement amélioré leur accès aux technologies au moyen des licences.

Regierungen ebenso wie Unternehmen werden aktive Maßnahmen ergreifen müssen, um die Lohnfindungsmechanismen auf eine alternde Erwerbsbevölkerung abzustimmen, um zu verhindern, dass andere Sozialtransfersysteme als alternative Wege in die Frührente genutzt werden, um Altersdiskriminierung zu bekämpfen und um die Arbeitsplatzkompetenzen und Arbeitsbedingungen der älteren Arbeitskräfte zu verbessern.

    Abstract: Fiscal imbalances were a main cause for chronic high inflation and macroeconomic instability before the 2000/2001 crisis. Fiscal consolidation is the cornerstone of post-crisis stabilization. It has been quite successful over the past three years as sizeable primary surpluses have been sustained and the fall in interest rates has reduced the interest cost of public debt. Fiscal targets have been achieved chiefly by raising revenues which has increased the tax burden; greater emphasis should now be placed on the control of public expenditure. At the same time, core public services such as education, justice, infrastructure and rural development will need to be upgraded. Social security costs may also rise with the planned shift to universal health insurance, and the ambitious administrative decentralization project could cause upward pressure on local spending. Far-reaching rationalization of public expenditures is therefore required to meet the quantitative fiscal targets while ...

    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 ...

    Abstract: Clusters of firms and related organisations in a range of industry specialisations are a striking feature of the economic landscape in all countries. Their growth and survival depends on internal processes of specialisation, co-operation and rivalry, and knowledge flows that underpin the competitiveness of the firms within them. Cluster building is now among the most important economic development activities in OECD countries and beyond. This book looks at the importance and potential of cluster initiatives in Central and Eastern Europe as these countries integrate ever more strongly into the global economy. Existing clusters are mapped, recent policy advances are described and conclusions are drawn on the potential of business clusters to foster economic growth in the wider Central, East and South East European region.

    Abstract: This publication highlights the impact of culture on local economies and the methodological issues related to its identification. In particular, the book demonstrates that the contemporary contribution of culture to economic development is not only limited to attracting tourists, but that it increasingly acts as a catalyst for other activities to further develop through territorial clusters. It also demonstrates the power of culture as a tool for the social integration of distressed people and communities, thus contributing to sustainable development. Building on recent international case studies, Culture and Local Development shows how public policies can foster culture as a lever for local economic development in terms of partnerships, tax relief, and other innovative instruments. The book also sets out the implications for national governments in the fields of education and intellectual property rights.

    Abstract: This book presents an in-depth historical and analytical review of the reform process in the Russian insurance sector. The report examines the state of the Russian insurance industry, analyses market dynamics and structure, and assesses the major reform initiatives that have occurred in the sector over the past years. Of crucial importance in the reform process was the revision of the organisational structure of the Russian insurance business, improvement of solvency and capitalization requirements for insurance companies, liberalization of the market, and enhancement of supervisory oversight with the establishment of the Federal Service for Insurance Supervision. The report concludes with a series of policy recommendations for policymakers and insurance market players. They are designed to further improve the legal and regulatory framework and to strengthen the insurance industry management structure, operational mechanisms and competitive capacity.

    Abstract: Stimulating innovation is key for achieving sustainable economic growth. Recently, however, prevailing practices and institutions of innovation governance have come under pressure. This publication examines the sources of these pressures, and provides lessons on how governments can adapt their governance practices to achieve better coherence and co-ordination of policies to promote innovation. The changes under way point to the emergence of a "third generation" of innovation policy: a broadly based, strategic policy area, crossing traditional ministerial boundaries.

    Abstract: This review is the first study that undertakes an in-depth analysis of e-government in Mexico from a whole-of-government perspective. Mexico completed the initial phase of setting up and delivering e-government services successfully, but the continuing public demands to improve government have made the country realise the importance of refocusing the strategy to find a way of making e-government improve the overall quality of government. This report analyses and assesses these challenges and provides a set of proposals for action to deal with the most actual and pressing questions of e-government in Mexico. It systematically looks at the structure and context for e-government, the case for e-government, external barriers to e-government, planning and leadership, organisational change, collaboration fostered by e-government, making government more customer-focused through e-government, and monitoring and evaluation. This book includes case studies, a statistical annex, and a bibliography.

    Abstract: This book reviews Finland's success in achieving balanced development over the past decade and assesses the challenges that it faces in maintaining this success. Given intense competition in both ICT and more traditional product markets, as well as rapid ageing of the population, it looks at how Finland might maintain and enhance the competitiveness of the regions that are the nation's economic drivers and how the country can promote innovation and entrepreneurship in intermediate cities particularly vulnerable to low cost competition. It also examines how Finland might facilitate growth in those regions that have potential for development, but so far have been less successful in exploiting their comparative advantages.

    Abstract: Electricity market reform has fundamentally changed the environment for maintaining reliable and secure power supplies, creating a more integrated and dynamic network environment with new real-time challenges for reliable and secure transmission system operation. But despite these fundamental changes, system operating rules and practices remain largely unchanged. The major blackouts of 2003 and 2004 raised important questions about the appropriateness of these arrangements. This publication presents case studies drawn from recent large-scale blackouts in Europe, North America, and Australia. It concludes that a comprehensive, integrated policy response is required to avoid preventable large-scale blackouts in the future.

    Keywords: Education
    Abstract: This book examines the results of the special portion of the 2003 PISA survey of student achievement that relates to problem-solving skills. Covering 40 countries, it provides, for the first time, a direct assessment of life competencies that apply across different areas of the school curriculum. The assessment looked at students' abilities to identify problems in various settings, to choose relevant information or constraints, to represent possible alternatives or solution paths, to develop solution strategies, to solve the problem, and to communicate the solution. This report examines how countries can raise their performance in this competency area and what countries with lower performance levels can learn from those whose students do well. It also provides insights into some of the factors that are associated with the development of problem-solving skills and into how these factors interact and what the implications are for policy development. Finally, the report sheds light on countries that succeed in achieving high performance levels while at the same time providing an equitable distribution of learning opportunities.

    Keywords: Energy ; Turkey
    Abstract: The International Energy Agency's review of Turkey's energy policies and programmes. Following a summary of the conclusions and recommendations, the report surveys the general energy scene and energy policy in Turkey, looks at energy and the environment, reviews efforts to enhance energy efficiency, and then examines developments related to oil, natural gas, coal, renewable energy, and electricity. The book closes with a look at Turkey's R&D efforts related to energy. The book finds that Turkey has undertaken significant reforms to open energy markets, but needs to undertake further actions to see the process to a successful conclusion. Turkey has been very active in international co-operation and has become an important energy corridor between east and west. It has transposed many EU laws and regulations into its own national legislation and is in the process of synchronising its electricity network with the European grid. It has also ratified the Framework Convention on Climate Change and is developing a climate change strategy. But it needs to focus more on energy supply and conservation, do more to evaluate the cost effectiveness of its policies, and better co-ordinate policies across various government bodies.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Le temps et les transports
    Keywords: Transport
    Abstract: This Round Table revisits the extended literature on the valuation of passenger time and discusses the under-researched topic of the value of time in freight transport. It assesses the increased value of time in international freight transport, given the trend towards globalisation. In particular, urban planners are concerned that an overvaluation of passenger time could give rise to excessive urban infrastructure investment which would induce low-density development of cities and urban sprawl. Transport policy measures that increase the speed and reliability of freight transport not only reduce its direct costs but have strong effects on inventory policies, logistics and even the location of firms. As recent empirical studies show, variations in time requirements for international transport, and increasingly short product and fashion cycles, have an influence on the pattern of foreign direct investment and international trade flows. Rational transport policy decision making has to take account of these indirect effects.

    Keywords: Finance and Investment
    Abstract: Mobilising private investment is recognised as a priority area for development so that poor countries are not left further behind. But reaping the maximum benefits of investment is not automatic. Policies matter too. A key challenge, therefore, is how to frame investment policies in a way that supports and reinforces economic development. In this respect, OECD Investment Committee co-operation activities with non-member economies aim to promote private investment, both foreign and domestic, and to create the policy environments needed to unleash the full benefits from investment, in terms of economic growth, poverty reduction and sustainable development. Investment for Development provides a record of the OECD Investment Committee's co-operation programmes with non-member economies and their results. These extensive co-operation activities are organised around three dimensions: global events, regional initiatives and dialogue with individual countries. This report documents how these initiatives help to strengthen implementation capacities and best practices among non-members, drawing on the broad applicability of the principles and expertise the OECD has developed in the area of international investment, including the positive contribution of responsible international business. Host countries are not alone in advancing this agenda. Home countries have a key role to play too. One example is the role of official development assistance in mobilising private investment. Investment for Development includes a report that identifies policy lessons and the analytical evidence that underpins them.

    Abstract: In France, the proportion of persons aged 65 and over to the working-age population will double to 58% by 2050. Without policy changes, this could lead to higher public expenditures, labour force shortages, and slower economic growth. This report surveys of the main barriers to employment for older workers, assesses of the adequacy and effectiveness of existing measures to overcome these barriers and presents a set of policy recommendations for further action by the public authorities and social partners. It examines the balances between income support and work incentives, methods for encouraging employers to hire and retain workers, and policies for ensuring the employability of older workers. This report is published in English with a French translation of the Executive Summary and Recommendations.

    Series Statement: Enterprise Policy Performance Assessment
    Keywords: Finance and Investment ; Economics ; Romania
    Abstract: Government and its agencies have a fundamental lead role to play in providing an environment favourable to business operations and conducive to private investment. This is especially true for small business. In order to flourish and grow they need an environment that facilitates and enables business start-ups, does not hamper them with excessive and costly regulations, and facilitates access to finance and business services. In 2002, the OECD and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) launched the Enterprise Policy Performance Assessments (EPPAs) in the framework of the Investment Compact for South East Europe (SEE) Programme. The EPPAs consist of a series of reports covering all countries of South East Europe They assess the quality of government policy for the Small and Medium Enterprise sector, and regularly monitor its implementation. The 2004 edition of the EPPAs has been prepared by the OECD and the EBRD in close consultation with the European Commission. Synergies have been created between the EPPA and the European Union Charter for Small Business, covering seven policy dimensions: institutional framework; regulatory environment; tax policy; access to finance; advisory services; business incubators; and, entrepreneurship, vocational training and access to technology. This Enterprise Policy Performance Assessment report is presented as an independent and constructive contribution to the debate on enterprise policy in Romania, bringing forward the views of the small business sector and providing a set of priority actions and policy recommendations to the government and the small business community.

    Abstract: Low growth, population ageing and depopulation, and new trade relationships with the East Asia region have made it increasingly necessary for Japan to reform its economic and institutional systems. A key element of this reform concerns Japan's policies for regional development. This report reviews progress with different aspects of this reform, such as reform of territorial planning, regional economic policy, urban policy, rural development and administrative and fiscal decentralisation. It highlights the challenge facing the Japanese government as it combines new approaches to policy-making at the central level with mechanisms that assign a greater voice to regional and local actors.

    Abstract: This paper discusses policies to improve fiscal relations between levels of government to better meet the needs of citizens, an objective of the government’s “Roadmap for Decentralisation”. Although local government accounts for around half of total government spending, they have little autonomy and fiscal resources vary sharply between regions. The priority should be to enhance the independence of local authorities by establishing a clear division of responsibilities and transferring additional assignments to the local level. The general local governments should also have more influnence on education, while providing more support, through stronger linkages with the local education authorities, with a final aim of merger. The allocation of intergovernmental grants should be more transparent and the regulations attached to them should be relaxed to expand flexibility, while increasing reliance on block grants. Improving the fiscal federalism framework also requires more revenue raising power for local governments while simplifying the structure of local taxes. Greater accountability and rules are needed to ensure sound fiscal management by local governments. This Working Paper relates to the 2005 OECD Economic Survey of Korea (www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/korea).

    Series Statement: OECD Economics Department Working Papers no.429
    Keywords: Economics
    Abstract: In 1994, the OECD published a set of recommendations -- known as the OECD Jobs Strategy -- to deal with high and persistent unemployment that affected many member countries. These recommendations are currently being reassessed by the OECD and this paper contributes to this process. It provides a detailed description of labour market reforms in member countries over the past ten years, together with a short overview of changes in macroeconomic policies and reforms affecting product markets. It attempts to rank countries according with their past reform efforts, using an aggregate reform intensity indicator, and analyses the link, though in a very preliminary way, between reforms and labour market performance. Overall, there is little evidence of a link between initial conditions and subsequent reform efforts, with some countries taking only modest measures despite a poor starting point, while others carrying out ambitious programs even though their initial conditions were already relatively favourable. Over the past decade, member countries have employed very diverse reform strategies, from comprehensive reforms package (Denmark, Finland and the Netherlands) -- as recommended in the initial Jobs Strategy -- to reforms more narrowly targeted on specific fields where deep action was undertaken (France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Ireland). The intensity of reforms has differed markedly across policy fields, with more action being undertaken in areas that are more widely accepted by the population, such as active labour market policies and cuts of labour taxes. Please note that annexes are available on the Economics Department Website at: www.oecd.org/eco/Working_Papers.

    Abstract: La société du XXIe siècle se caractérise par le rôle essentiel des connaissances, la mobilité dans l’enseignement et l’enseignement virtuel. C’est autour de ce nouveau paradigme que s’articulera la restructuration du système universitaire de la Corée. Pour mettre en place un système d’enseignement efficace et concurrentiel, la réforme du système universitaire est indispensable. La restructuration des universités devrait être axée sur la réforme de l’organisation et de la gestion de l’enseignement. En bref, la stratégie d’innovation dans ce domaine consiste à concilier 1) tradition et modernité, 2) spécialisation et diversification, 3) accroissement de la quantité et amélioration de la qualité, 4) dimension nationale et dimension internationale.

    Abstract: Les gouvernements des pays développés utilisent une gamme étendue d’outils politiques pour favoriser la recherche universitaire et les transferts de savoir. Parmi ces outils on trouve notamment la sensibilisation, la persuasion et l’information ; la consultation et les comités d’enquête, la création de grands pôles de recherche et d’organismes de commercialisation, et l’investissement en infrastructures dédiés à la recherche ; bourses ; subventions et autres aides financières ; législation et régulation. Cependant, l'information, est relativement limitée en ce qui concerne les outils politiques qui produisent les meilleurs résultats, le contexte dans lequel ils produisent ces résultats, et on ignore pourquoi certains outils sont choisis plutôt que d’autres. Par ailleurs, on ne sait pas très bien qui sont les principaux bénéficiaires des différents programmes, ni dans quelle mesure la prolifération de programmes, souvent associés à une multiplicité d’agences entraîne des dédoublements et des inefficacités et va à l’encontre des priorités établies par les gouvernements en matière de R-D de recherche et développement.

    Abstract: This paper assesses what role product market competition and regulatory reforms may have played in the performance of the British economy over the past decade. Competitive pressures appear to be relatively strong in the United Kingdom, with regulations inhibiting competition and barriers to trade amongst the lowest in the OECD. Nevertheless, there is scope for improvement and the recent overhaul of competition legislation should help to further promote competition. Much progress has been made in the professional services sector. Self-regulatory bodies are no longer exempt from competition legislation and professional bodies have undertaken a number of actions towards removing or easing restrictions that inhibit competition. In the retail sector, market power remains a problem and the competition authorities will need to remain vigilant. The government’s recent approach to planning has made new large scale entry very difficult, impeding competition and inhibiting entry. Industry regulators also need to remain vigilant in the electricity, gas and telecommunications sectors. Reforms in these sectors have led to increased productivity, though international comparisons suggest that there is scope for prices to fall. While recent steps by the government overcome the most serious weaknesses of the privatised rail system, continuing problems regarding incentives and responsibilities remain to be resolved.

    Abstract: The survey submissions indicate that bilateral donors and multilateral agencies have become much more active in TRTA/CB over the last few years, particularly since the 2001 WTO Doha Ministerial Conference. This increased activity is not only reflected in increased funding for TRTA/CB, but also in the number of donors/ agencies with explicit strategies and programming guidelines for TRTA/CB; enhanced awareness among donors of the importance of TRTA/CB for development and poverty reduction; and the strengthened, and sometimes institutionalised, dialogue between development and trade practitioners. In addition, several donors and agencies have recently embarked on ambitious reviews of their own bilateral TRTA/CB programmes and/or their participation in multilateral programmes, in order to assess the effectiveness of their TRTA/CB activities.
