    Abstract: Ce Document d'orientation sur les indicateurs de performance en matière de sécurité propose une approche systémique pour évaluer le succès des programmes mis en place par les différents intervenants en matière de sécurité chimique. Il laisse par ailleurs aux groupes concernés une certaine latitude pour concevoir des programmes permettant d'évaluer leurs propres performances dans le contexte de la prévention, de la préparation et de l'intervention en matière d'accident chimique. Les indicateurs de performance en matière de sécurité (IPS) aident l'industrie, les autorités et les collectivités à déterminer dans quelle mesure leurs actions contribuent à améliorer la sécurité chimique.

    Abstract: Die OECD-Grundsätze der Corporate Governance wurden 1999 vom Rat der OECD auf Ministerebene gebilligt und sind seitdem zu einer internationalen Richtschnur für politische Entscheidungsträger, Investoren, Unternehmen und sonstige interessierte Gruppen in aller Welt geworden. Sie haben die Corporate-Goverance-Agenda vorangebracht und liefern präzise Orientierungshilfen für Gesetzes- und Regulierungsinitiativen in OECD-Mitglieds- wie auch Nichtmitgliedsländern. Das Forum für Finanzmarktstabilität hat die Grundsätze in den Katalog der zwölf Kernstandards für solide Finanzsysteme aufgenommen. Die Grundsätze bilden ferner die Ausgangsbasis eines umfassenden Programms der Zusammenarbeit zwischen OECD- und Nicht-OECD-Ländern und dienen als Grundlage für das Corporate-Governance-Modul der Weltbank/IWF-Berichte über die Einhaltung von Standards und Kodizes (Reports on the Observance of Standards and Codes ROSC).

    Abstract: A ce jour, peu de gouvernements se sont attachés à faciliter le flux indispensable des marchandises en ville et à réduire les effets nuisibles du transport urbain de marchandises sur la collectivité desservie. Ceci a accru les problèmes liés aux livraisons de marchandises, et notamment la concurrence entre transport de marchandises et transport de passagers pour l’accès à l’infrastructure routière et aux places de stationnement/livraison. Ce rapport fournit des recommandations pour faire face à ces défis.

    Keywords: Competition ; Telecommunication policy Economic aspects ; Telecommunication Rates ; Law and legislation ; Governance ; Science and Technology ; Industry and Services ; Telekommunikationswirtschaft ; Telekommunikationsdienst ; Preisbildung
    Abstract: Ce rapport aborde une question qui se pose dans pratiquement tous les secteurs de services aux collectivités, à savoir la réglementation de l’accès à des installations essentielles. Les régulateurs des industries d’équipements collectifs publics se heurtent à un problème crucial : la réglementation des termes et conditions dans lesquels des entreprises en concurrence ont accès à des intrants clés fournis par des concurrents. Le développement de la concurrence et le succès de la libéralisation dépendent souvent des termes de l’accès et des conditions choisies, aussi les pouvoirs publics sont-ils soucieux de faire le bon choix. Préparé par le comité de la concurrence de l’OCDE, ce rapport traite du secteur des télécommunications et cherche à approfondir la compréhension de la réglementation de l’accès. Les problèmes d’accès ne sont pas des plus faciles pour les autorités de tutelle et les responsables de la politique de la concurrence : ils peuvent en effet être techniquement délicats et donner lieu à des polémiques retentissantes sur le plan pratique. En abordant la question sous ces deux angles, ce rapport cherche à aider les autorités de tutelle et les pouvoirs publics à tirer les leçons de l’expérience de l’OCDE pour obtenir des résultats efficients et compétitifs.

    Abstract: In light of the elimination of quantitative import restrictions under the WTO at the end of 2004, A New World Map in Textiles and Clothing identifies the most recent market developments throughout the entire supply chain, from natural fibres to retail distribution. It outlines the policy and regulatory challenges in the fields of trade, labour adjustment, technology and innovation, and suggests a policy framework to help deal effectively with such changes as well as to capitalise on the trade opportunities that are being created through improved market access. “A highly useful contribution to the debate on policy challenges in textiles and clothing, the book stands out from the others in recognising the influence that trade policy measures continue to exert on investment and production decisions, and in providing a synthesis of key market developments and policy issues.” Munir Ahmad, Executive Director, International Textiles and Clothing Bureau “Policy makers in all textile and clothing trading countries would be wise to heed the sound advice proffered in this comprehensive and thorough, fact-based assessment." Laura Baughman, President, Trade Partnership Worldwide, LLC. “A must read for anybody interested in the future of textiles and clothing around the world. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the expected adjustment process in usefully underscoring the role of technology and innovation and the growing importance of the business facilitation agenda.” Carlos A. Primo Braga, Senior Adviser, International Trade Department, The World Bank

    Keywords: Employment ; Urban, Rural and Regional Development ; Industry and Services
    Abstract: En los países miembros de la OCDE resulta sorprendente el espectro, número y crecimiento de los programas de apoyo para la iniciativa empresarial y la microempresa. Buena parte del interés de política por fomentar la iniciativa empresarial se refleja en la convicción de que la creación de nuevas empresas contribuirá a facilitar el logro de importantes objetivos económicos y sociales. El aumento en el ritmo de creación de empresas es hoy una inquietud casi universal para las autoridades locales, al igual que para los gobiernos centrales que desean combatir la marginación económica local. Sin embargo, a pesar del amplio interés de política, pocos estudios han analizado sistemáticamente la relación entre la creación de nuevas empresas y el desarrollo económico local. Esta publicación analiza las principales rutas a través de las cuales la creación de empresas y su desarrollo puede tener un impacto sobre las economías locales. Así, se analiza la evidencia empírica acerca de la relación entre la iniciativa empresarial y las economías locales. Asimismo, se demuestra que aunque la creación de empresas puede resultar un componente crucial para el desarrollo económico local, el fomento de la iniciativa empresarial no constituye una panacea para el desarrollo. Por ello, se discuten a profundidad una serie de limitaciones potenciales de las estrategias orientadas hacia la iniciativa empresarial y cómo estas limitaciones pueden contrarrestarse. Este libro presenta detalladas recomendaciones de política tanto en el ámbito gubernamental local como nacional. Las recomendaciones se relacionan con tres ámbitos temáticos: estrategia, financiamiento y diseño de programas. Se espera que estos lineamientos sean de utilidad para los gobiernos centrales y locales en el diseño y la puesta en marcha de programas y estrategias eficaces en términos de costos. En este sentido, la presente publicación describe los tipos de investigación que deben llevarse a cabo para lograr un mejor entendimiento de los temas clave de política.

    Abstract: Les scandales et faillites qui ont ébranlé le monde des entreprises, conjugués à des préoccupations économiques plus larges, ont incité les pays de l'OCDE à accorder une attention plus soutenue au gouvernement d’entreprise, désormais reconnu comme un élément fondamental de la croissance économique et de la stabilité financière. Cette étude se penche sur les problèmes systémiques et examine les réponses que les pays de l'OCDE y ont apportées. Elle présente une large palette d’expériences dont d’autres pays pourraient s’inspirer lorsqu’ils envisageront les différentes options s’ouvrant à eux en matière d’action publique.

    Abstract: This report addresses an issue which arises in virtually every public utility industry – the regulation of access to essential facilities. The regulation of the terms and conditions under which competing firms have access to essential inputs provided by rivals has become the single biggest issue facing regulators of public utility industries. Development of competition and the success of liberalisation often depend on the access terms and conditions chosen, and public policy interest in getting these terms and conditions right is important. Prepared by the OECD’s Competition Committee, this report focuses on the telecommunications industry and seeks to deepen the understanding of access regulation. Access issues are not easy issues for regulators and competition policy-makers - they can be both difficult technically and the source of noisy disputes in practice. By bringing together theory and practice, this report seeks to help regulators and policy-makers learn from OECD experience to achieve efficient and competitive outcomes.

    Abstract: Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), a policy approach in which the responsibility of the waste from a consumer good is extended back up to the producer of the good, is developing and expanding in OECD countries. Governments find that these schemes can provide a new and flexible approach to reduce the upward trend of waste from consumer products. To address these issues, OECD organised a workshop in December 2002, which was hosted by the Japanese Ministry of Environment, in Tokyo. This book contains selected papers presented at this workshop.

Such practices undermine the integrity of markets to the detriment of all businesses and consumers. These Guidelines establish a common framework to enable OECD member countries to better combat fraudulent and deceptive cross-border commercial practices through closer, faster, and more efficient co-operation among their consumer protection agencies.

    Abstract: Corporate governance matters for national development. Studies of Brazil, Chile, India, and South Africa show that corporate governance has an important role to play in helping both to increase financial capital to firms in developing countries and to enhance those countries’ financial development as a whole. They further show that corporate governance matters can contribute greatly to achieving sustained productivity growth in developing countries’ real economies. The value of improved corporate governance for development cannot, however, be considered in isolation. In the financial sector, attention must also be given to measures to strengthen the banking sector and a country’s financial institutions as a whole. To gain most from improved corporate governance in the real economy, close attention must also be given to competition policy and to reforms of sector-specific regulatory practices. The book is for civil society, NGOs and research institutes.

    Abstract: Relatively little has been done by governments to facilitate the essential flows of goods in urban areas and to reduce the adverse impacts of urban goods transport on the communities served. This has resulted in increasing problems associated with goods delivery including competition with passenger transport for access to road infrastructure and space for parking/delivery facilities. How should OECD countries deal with the challenges they face in this area? This report analyses measures taken in many cities and provides recommendations for dealing with these challenges.

    Abstract: Few studies have systematically examined the relationship between the creation of new firms and local economic development -- yet it is a universal concern for central and local governments wishing to combat localised economic distress. This book examines the principal routes through which enterprise creation can have a positive impact on local economies. Recommendations cover three thematic areas: strategy, finance and programme design. The book is for investment agencies, entrepreneurs seeking to invest locally and economists in the corporate sector. "Overall, this is an excellent overview of the key issues concerning entrepreneurship and local economic development. While primarily aimed at the pragmatic policymakers, who will find it extremely valuable, it also has the rigor and breadth to interest researchers and students."

Contributors call for orderly and rapid progress towards regional integration of the services sector, based on the gradual removal of the barriers to competition. The benefits will be increased FDI flows and domestic investment, with a subsequent contribution to growth and poverty reduction. This book is based upon the 2002 International Forum on Asian Perspectives organised by the ADB and the OECD Development Centre.

It also contains a report of those discussions prepared by Dr. Simon Evenett of the World Trade Institute. This book is structured around a number of key themes, including capacity building, combatting hard core cartels, co-operation between competition authorities and core principles for a multilateral framework.

Empirical evidence is also important to demonstrate the economic effects of market and regulatory changes as an aid to the design of adequate regulatory reform. Amongst other issues, the papers in this volume explore fundamental issues for empirical research on trade in services. It highlights the specific data requirements and conceptual challenges for modelling liberalisation of services.

    Abstract: A probing report on the harm caused by hard-core cartels, on progress made in combating them, and on the challenges that lie ahead. Since adoption of its 1998 recommendation on effective action against hard-core cartels, the OECD has been leading an international effort to restrict their activities. This report reviews progress in combating hard-core cartels notably through strengthened sanctions against companies and individuals. It also quantifies the harm cartels cause and identifies improved methods of investigation. Despite recent progress in several jurisdictions, much remains to be done and this report outlines and identifies the challenges that lie ahead.

    Abstract: Promouvoir efficacement l’innovation exige des politiques publiques novatrices. L’innovation par la création, la diffusion and l’application du savoir est devenue l’un des principaux moteurs de la croissance économique et un élément clé de la réponse à beaucoup de nouveaux besoins sociaux. Toutefois, les déterminants de la capacité d’innover ont changé dans une économie mondialisée fondée sur le savoir. Les politiques gouvernementales visant à stimuler l’innovation doivent être adaptées en conséquence, guidées par un cadre conceptuel adéquat. S’appuyant sur les résultats d’un projet pluriannuel sur les systèmes nationaux d’innovation (SNI), cette publication montre comment le concept de SNI éclaire la réforme nécessaire des politiques de la technologie et de l’innovation.

    Keywords: Industry and Services
    Abstract: Les administrations publiques sont de gros acheteurs de biens et de services et ces marchés représentent un potentiel énorme pour le commerce international. Ce rapport présente une synthèse des études analytiques visant à mesurer la taille des marchés publics et propose divers indicateurs de la taille des marchés publics pour plus de 130 pays. On estime à $5550 milliards le montant mondial des marchés publics totaux, ce qui équivaut approximativement à 82,3% des exportations mondiales de marchandises et de services commerciaux de 1998. On estime la valeur mondiale des marchés publics qui peut potentiellement donner lieu à des échanges internationaux à $2083 milliards, ce qui équivaut à 7,1% du produit intérieur brute (PIB) mondial ou à 30,1% des exportations mondiales de marchandises et de services commerciaux. Des indicateurs détaillés de la taille des marchés publics sont proposés pour les pays de la zone OCDE , et notamment des ratios par niveau d'administration, par catégorie de dépenses (consommation ou investissement) et des indicateurs des parts des marchés publics qui peuvent donner lieu à des échanges internationaux. Une bonne connaissance de la taille des marchés publics et, en particulier, des parts des marchés nationaux qui sont potentiellement ouvertes à la concurrence internationale est en effet utile pour les milieux d'affaires, les pouvoirs publics et les négociateurs commerciaux.

    Abstract: Les ententes injustifiables représentent les formes les plus graves de violation de la législation de la concurrence. Quels sont les meilleurs outils pour lutter contre elles ? Dans cet ouvrage, l'OCDE décrit une approche de la carotte et du bâton qui connaît un succès grandissant : punition plus stricte des membres de l'entente et récompenses accrues pour ceux qui font défection et coopèrent. Cette publication contribue à améliorer l'état des connaissances quant aux surcoûts qu'engendrent les ententes et aux autres dommages causés aux entreprises ainsi qu'aux consommateurs du monde entier. Elle fournit un éclairage utile sur les nouveaux programmes de clémence ainsi que sur l'usage optimal des sanctions dans les affaires d'ententes.

    Abstract: La mondialisation et les progrès des technologies de l’information et des communications ont refaçonné les caractéristiques du commerce mondial. Aujourd’hui, les entreprises compétitives au niveau international gèrent leurs activités par le biais de réseaux globaux intégrés conçus pour répondre avec efficacité et sérieux aux demandes du marché d’où qu’elles viennent. Cette tendance a donné le jour aux termes « logistique globale » ou « gestion de la chaîne d’approvisionnement ». En outre, les préoccupations environnementales croissantes exigent une logistique qui soit non seulement efficace mais également favorable au développement durable. Comment les gouvernements perçoivent-ils l’état actuel des systèmes logistiques ? Existe-t-il une vision partagée des réseaux logistiques mondiaux à développer sur laquelle les gouvernements pourraient fonder leurs réflexions ? Quelles sont les contraintes pour parvenir à des réseaux logistiques efficaces et respectueux de l’environnement ? Le projet TRILOG de l’OCDE vise à fournir une perspective sur ces questions clés grâce à l’échange d’approches et d’expériences relatives à la logistique du transport de marchandises en Asie-Pacifique, en Europe et en Amérique du Nord. Ce rapport cherche à identifier les contraintes et à analyser les problèmes communs aux trois régions. Il propose des solutions et des approches susceptibles de faciliter le développement de politiques visant à promouvoir une logistique efficace et durable au niveau international.

    Abstract: This publication presents detailed data on the role played by multinationals in the OECD economies. This year’s edition also includes data on the activity of affiliates of national firms abroad (outward investment). Volume I provides data for the manufacturing sector covering 18 variables including production, employment, investment, research and trade. Part I presents the main findings and highlights trends for each of the variables displayed by foreign multinationals and domestic firms in total manufacturing industry, leading sectors as well as a detailed geographical breakdown. Part II provides basic data and shows the share of each sector controlled by foreign multinationals for the available industrial variables. Data sources and definitions are also provided. Published for the first time, Volume II presents data for services. Five variables are covered: employment, turnover, value added, exports and imports. These data provide a measure of the impact of foreign direct investment on the economies of the OECD countries. From this standpoint, they provide a vital backup for data on direct investment flows.

    Keywords: Industry and Services
    Abstract: Governments are significant purchasers of goods and services and these markets represent huge opportunities for international trade. This document presents a synthesis of the analytical studies on the quantification of the size of government procurement markets and proposes a series of estimates of procurement markets for over 130 individual countries. The world total government procurement is estimated to amount to $5550 billion in 1998, which is equivalent to 82.3% of the world merchandise and commercial services exports in 1998. The world value of government procurement that is potentially opened up to international trade is estimated at $2083 billion, which is equivalent to 7.1% of the world Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or 30.1% of the world merchandise and commercial services exports. Detailed estimates of government procurement markets are proposed for OECD countries, including estimates of procurement broken down by government levels, types of expenditure (consumption versus investment) and contestable shares. Informed knowledge about the size of government procurement markets and in particular the shares of national markets that are potentially opened up to intenational competition is relevant for the business community, government and trade negotiators.

    Abstract: Hard-core cartels are the most egregious violations of competition law. What are the most appropriate tools to fight them? In this book, the OECD identifies an increasingly successful "carrot-and-stick" approach – applying stiffer punishment for cartel operators and enhancing programmes aimed at rewarding cartel members who decide to defect and co-operate with the authorities. This book contributes to the existing knowledge about the extent of cartels' overcharges and other harm to businesses and consumers worldwide, and sheds light on new and effective "leniency programmes", as well as on optimal sanctions in cartel cases.

    Abstract: Foreign direct investment (FDI) is one of the forces fostering closer economic interdependence among countries. The rapid increase in FDI flows has generated considerable debate about its environmental and social implications in host countries. While much of the debate on these issues has been general in nature, this volume deepens the analysis by examining the FDI-environment relationship in a specific sector and identifies emerging best practices. Empirical evidence from the mining sector is presented, and the key elements of the policy and institutional frameworks that guide investors’ environmental behaviour are discussed. In addition, the emerging role of voluntary commitments by enterprises to safeguard the environment is examined.

    Abstract: Les Principes directeurs sont des recommandations à l’intention des entreprises multinationales sur la conduite de leurs activités dans des domaines comme le travail, l’environnement, la protection des consommateurs et la lutte contre la corruption. Ces recommandations émanent des 33 gouvernements qui ont souscrit aux Principes directeurs et se sont ainsi engagés à les faire respecter, même si elles n’ont pas un caractère contraignant. Ce rapport rend compte des mesures prises par les gouvernements pour renforcer la contribution des Principes directeurs à un meilleur fonctionnement de l’économie mondiale. Il présente aussi une analyse comparative et des observations émanant des milieux d’affaires, des organisations syndicales et de la société civile au sujet des complémentarités et des différences entre les Principes directeurs et d’autres instruments mondiaux destinés à promouvoir une attitude responsable de la part des entreprises (ex. : Pacte mondial des Nations Unies, Projet de rapport mondial).

    Abstract: Tradeable or transferable permits (TPs) are increasingly perceived as a cost-effective and flexible policy instrument for pollution control and natural resources management. Initially they were considered a policy tool whose applications were limited to only certain sectors, such as air pollution management and fisheries. However, over the last few years, there have been significant developments in the use of domestic TPs, across a broader range of environmental issues. TPs now face a double challenge: could they become a key instrument for curbing greenhouse gas emissions in light of the Kyoto Protocol? And could they be used in other areas of environmental management? This book presents the proceedings of an OECD workshop on domestic TPs held in September 2001 in Paris. It provides an analysis on recent developments in the use of domestic TP in new areas including climate change, renewable energy, transport, solid waste management, and water resources management. It highlights issues regarding the use of TPs in policy mixes, reviews key elements of ex post evaluations of earlier TP schemes, identifies key challenges in the design and use of TP systems, and attempts to link the past lessons to further research needs.

    Abstract: Promoting innovation requires innovative government policy. Innovation through the creation, diffusion and use of knowledge has become a key driver of economic growth and provides part of the response to many new societal challenges. However, the determinants of innovation performance have changed in a globalising, knowledge-based economy. Government policy to boost innovation performance must be adapted accordingly, based on a sound conceptual framework. Synthesising the results of a multi-year OECD project on national innovation systems (NIS), this publication demonstrates how the NIS approach can be implemented in designing and implementing more efficient technology and innovation policies.

    Abstract: Globalisation and advances in information and communication technologies are reshaping the world’s trading patterns. Today’s internationally competitive businesses work through strategic, integrated global networks designed to deliver efficient and high-quality response to demands from anywhere in the world. This trend has given rise to the terms "global logistics" or "supply-chain management". In addition, growing environmental concerns require that logistics should not only be efficient; they should also contribute to sustainable development. The OECD TRILOG project aimed to provide insights into these key issues through an exchange of experiences relating to freight transport logistics in the Asia-Pacific, Europe and North American regions. This report attempts to identify constraints and address issues common to the three regions, and suggest possible solutions and approaches that could facilitate the development of policies to promote efficient and sustainable international logistics.

    Abstract: Stronger interactions between science and industry underpin growth in a knowledge economy. A comparison of the intensity and quality of industry-science relationships (ISR) in OECD countries shows that many countries are lagging behind in mobilising science for innovation. The report benchmarks OECD countries’ ISR, identifies relevant good practices in managing the interface between public research and the business sector, and provides a framework for monitoring and assessing evolving policies in the area. The report presents an in-depth comparative study of ISR in France and the United Kingdom and a special chapter on Japan.

    Abstract: What are the problems faced by SMEs in OECD countries and developing and transition economies in today’s globalising world? What are the framework conditions that influence SMEs’ incentives and capacities to innovate? What is the optimal role of public policy in consolidating and developing clusters? Are SMEs failing to capture the full benefits of e-commerce and if so, why? Which are the best-practice instruments for fostering co-operation and partnership between SMEs in OECD and non-OECD countries? The OECD Bologna Conference gathered Ministers, high-level policy makers and business representatives from more than 50 countries and 60 international organisations with a view to releasing the potential of SMEs and enhancing their access to global markets. The Bologna Ministerial Conference has contributed to putting SMEs at the forefront of the international policy agenda.

    Abstract: Pour relever les nombreux défis environnementaux auxquels nous sommes confrontés aujourd'hui, comme par exemple le changement climatique, les pays s'efforcent de développer des instruments de gestion de l’environnement efficaces et efficients au niveau national. Les permis négociables/transférables en sont un exemple. Quels sont les principaux paramètres pour concevoir de tels instruments ? Quelles considérations supplémentaires les responsables de ces politiques devraient-ils prendre en compte avant de choisir les permis négociables plutôt que d'autres instruments politiques ? Pourquoi de nombreuses propositions ayant trait aux systèmes de permis négociables nationaux n'ont-elles pas abouti, et comment surmonter les obstacles rencontrés ? Cette publication tente de répondre à ces questions en présentant une analyse systématique des différents défis, approches, conditions et solutions possibles pour concevoir et mettre en œuvre des systèmes nationaux de permis transférables.

    Series Statement: Energy Market Reform
    Keywords: Energy ; Industry and Services
    Abstract: Most OECD countries, and many countries outside the OECD, are now deeply engaged in a reform of their electricity markets to stimulate competition and improve efficiency. This book considers the key elements of effective reform based on a review of experiences to date. A converging trend emerges, that emphasises competition in the generation, supply and trade of electricity, aimed at maximising consumer choice. It also highlights the development of new approaches to regulation of the transmission system, which remains monopolistic. This book is an invaluable guide and reference for energy policy makers. It examines the many issues and functions that define a modern, liberalised electricity supply industry, and the challenges posed by regulatory reform. It updates the 1999 IEA publication “Electricity Market Reform - an IEA Handbook”, and is the latest in a series of IEA publications on energy market reforms.

    Abstract: Cette édition 2001 des Principes de l’OCDE applicables en matière de prix de transfert à l’intention des entreprises multinationales et des administrations fiscales a été substantiellement révisée depuis; voir la version approuvée en juillet 2010. Cette édition de poche des Principes de l'OCDE applicables en matière de prix de transfert contient la version intégrale des principes en matière de prix de transfert adoptée par les pays membres à l’usage des entreprises multinationales qui transfèrent des biens ou des services d’un pays à l’autre ou au sein d’un seul et même groupe d’entreprises. Ils réaffirment qu’un traitement de pleine concurrence doit être appliqué aux entreprises faisant partie d’un groupe multinational et que pour ce faire, les méthodes transactionnelles traditionnelles doivent être privilégiées. Ces questions controversées n’intéressent pas uniquement les spécialistes de la fiscalité. De fait, les administrations fiscales, les contribuables et les chefs d’entreprises ont tous un rôle à jouer pour éviter la coexistence de règles fiscales contradictoires qui risqueraient d’entraver sérieusement le développement des échanges mondiaux. Les Principes ont été également publiés en classeurs.

    Abstract: À medida que nos aproximamos do século XXI, poderosas forças de mudança convergem para aquilo que poderá ser durante as próximas décadas o palco de uma expansão económica prolongada e sustentada – a transição para uma sociedade do conhecimento, com os seus elevados ganhos de produtividade; a emergência de mercados globais, mais integrados, de bens, serviços, capitais e tecnologia; e o rápido crescimento de uma consciência ambiental capaz de acelerar fortemente a mudança para novos padrões de produção e consumo, baseados numa utilização de recursos menos intensiva. Como resultado, poderemos assistir a décadas seguidas de crescimento económico acima da média, aumentos significativos do rendimento e da riqueza, e melhorias visíveis de bem-estar por todo o mundo.Mas o que será necessário para desencadear estas forças dinâmicas? Iniciativas para estabelecer as regras e as estruturas que conduzam à transição para uma economia do conhecimento, global e sustentada, não serão suficientes. Acima de tudo, serão exigidos esforços excepcionais por parte dos decisores ao nível dos governos, das empresas, e da sociedade no seu conjunto, para incentivar continuamente a inovação, a criatividade e níveis elevados de investimento, e para promover novas e intensas formas de cooperação internacional e o reforço das instituições. Inevitavelmente, alguns países beneficiarão mais do que outros, mas uma expansão prolongada, com toda a sua capacidade de criação de riqueza, constituirá uma oportunidade única para inverter a tendência das últimas décadas de intensificação da falta de qualidade e da exclusão social.Este livro analisa as forças promotoras das alterações económicas e sociais do mundo de hoje, estima a probabilidade de uma expansão prolongada nas primeiras décadas do século XXI e explora as políticas estratégicas necessárias.

    Abstract: Services are the driving force in OECD economies, accounting for at least 70% of GNP in many countries. However, their potential contribution is hampered by government policies that were designed for manufacturing industries. This report shows that policies can be adapted to stimulate innovation and boost productivity in service sectors, with economy-wide benefits for employment and growth. Crucial in this regard are policies aimed at promoting the development of human capital/resources and stimulating competition in services within and between countries. Further regulatory reform is essential to achieve these goals. Governments must explore ways to strengthen the interface between innovative services and traditional industry sectors.

    Abstract: La paperasserie vue par les entreprises permet, pour la première fois, de comparer systématiquement des données émanant de 11 pays de l’OCDE. Ces données montrent comment les petites et moyennes entreprises perçoivent le coût de l’administration et de la réglementation nationales. La réglementation et les formalités administratives, ce qu'on appelle la "paperasserie", sont d’importants outils dont se servent les autorités publiques pour conduire leur action dans de nombreux domaines, notamment la sécurité, la santé et la protection de l’environnement. Toutefois, si elles sont mal conçues ou mal appliquées, inefficaces ou dépassées, elles peuvent entraver l’innovation, l’accès au marché, l’investissement, et créer des obstacles inutiles aux échanges et à l’efficacité économique. Une réglementation et des formalités administratives de piètre qualité ont un coût pour les économies nationales : la capacité de croissance de ces dernières, leur compétitivité, leur capacité d’adaptation et leur aptitude à créer des emplois peuvent en pâtir. Ce rapport s'appuie sur les résultats d’une enquête menée auprès de 8 000 entreprises, il fait le point sur la qualité, la mise en œuvre et le poids de la réglementation et des formalités administratives dans les domaines de l’emploi, de l’environnement et de la fiscalité. Les résultats sont inquiétants. Un exemple : la « paperasserie » absorbe 4 % du chiffre d’affaires annuel des entreprises (ce sont les plus petites qui sont le plus durement frappées) et ce coût augmente dans la plupart des pays.

    Abstract: Infrastructure sectors -- particularly railroads, telecommunications, electricity and natural gas -- are vital in providing necessities of life to the Russian Federation’s citizens and key inputs into the rest of the economy. A top priority of the current government in Russia is to reform the infrastructure sectors, specifically in such sectors as rail transport and electric power, to create an efficient and effective regulatory regime that supports the creation of competition where possible and provides more effective protection to consumers in those spheres where competition is not possible. This book compiles the proceedings of four meetings held at the request of the Minister for Antimonopoly Policy of the Russian Federation, on the reform of railroads, telecommunications, electricity and natural gas, during December 2000-September 2001. This review is part of the OECD's ongoing co-operation with non-Member economies around the world.

    Abstract: This publication presents annual energy consumption data in manufacturing sectors. Over the last 25 years, energy consumption has become just as important as energy supply for policy makers. There is a need for energy efficiency indicators and data to monitor developments in energy consumption and energy efficiency trends as they affect the environment. In order to analyse energy use and energy efficiency, it is essential to have disaggregated industry level consumption data. This publication provides such data. Time series of annual energy consumption are provided at the disaggregated manufacturing industry level for most of the OECD countries from 1990 to 1999 where available.

    Abstract: Le secteur des services joue un rôle indispensable dans l’infrastructure des économies nationales, emploie plus de personnes que les autres branches d’activité et est le secteur le plus dynamique du commerce mondial. Les nouvelles négociations engagées en janvier 2000 dans le cadre de l’Accord général sur le commerce des services de l’OMC sont une occasion importante de tirer parti d’une plus grande ouverture des marchés de services à l’échelle mondiale. Les documents rassemblés dans le présent ouvrage, qui ont été établis dans le cadre du projet de la Direction des échanges de l’OCDE sur les services, examinent un certain nombre de questions fondamentales du point de vue des négociations sur les services : Quels sont les obstacles qui entravent les échanges de services ? Comment traiter ces obstacles lors des négociations de manière à parvenir à des résultats positifs ? Comment une plus grande transparence de la réglementation peut-elle favoriser et renforcer la libéralisation des échanges de services ? Les travaux présentés, qui vont de l’évaluation de l’incidence et de l’impact de l’examen des besoins économiques à l’étude des disciplines susceptibles de permettre aux parties intéressées de faire connaître leur point de vue avant que les réglementations soient adoptées, en passant par l’examen de formules quantitatives et qualitatives pour la réduction des obstacles aux échanges de services, identifient et analysent des solutions novatrices aux problèmes qui se posent aux négociateurs dans le domaine des services.

    Abstract: Entre 1980 et 1997, le volume de résidus urbains par habitant a augmenté de 22 % tandis qu’il devenait de plus en plus difficile de trouver des sites pour implanter des installations d’élimination des déchets. Si, au cours des dernières décennies, d’importants progrès ont été accomplis en matière de réduction du volume de pollution de l’eau et de l’air produit par habitant, la production de déchets continue d’augmenter. Face à cet accroissement, de nombreux gouvernements ont passé en revue les différents moyens d’action dont ils disposent. Ils en ont conclu qu’imputer au producteur la responsabilité de contribuer ou de pourvoir à l’élimination de ses déchets pouvait permettre d'atténuer certaines des contraintes que ces derniers exercent sur l’environnement (après consommation du produit qu’ils accompagnent). La « responsabilité élargie des producteurs » (REP) est une stratégie en vertu de laquelle les producteurs acceptent d’assumer une responsabilité importante - d’ordre financier et/ou matériel - en ce qui concerne le traitement des déchets d’emballage. La prise en charge de cette responsabilité pourrait inciter à prévenir la production de déchets à la source, promouvoir la conception de produits dans le souci du respect de l’environnement, et contribuer à atteindre les objectifs publics de recyclage et de gestion des matériaux. Au sein de l’OCDE, la tendance est à l’élargissement de la REP à de nouveaux produits, groupes de produits et flux de déchets tels que les appareillages électriques et électroniques. Ce manuel d’orientation constitue un moyen d’informer les gouvernements des avantages et des coûts potentiels liés à la REP.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. New Patterns of Industrial Globalisation: Cross-border Mergers and Acquisitions and Strategic Alliances
    Keywords: Industry and Services ; Industrie ; Globalisierung ; Internationales Management
    Abstract: Les nouvelles tendances de la mondialisation accélèrent l’internationalisation de l’industrie et remodèlent la structure industrielle à l’échelon mondial. La rapide multiplication des fusions et acquisitions et des alliances stratégiques est une caractéristique notable de la mondialisation actuelle. Au même titre que les formes traditionnelles d’échanges et d’investissement, ces pratiques sont devenues pour les entreprises des modes usuels d’internationalisation des opérations, de la recherche et des marchés. La majeure partie de l’investissement direct étranger (IDE) prend maintenant la forme de fusions et acquisitions plutôt que d’investissements ex nihilo, les entreprises abandonnant les anciennes stratégies de diversification et d’expansion pour centrer leur effort sur leurs compétences de base. Les alliances stratégiques sont aussi un puissant mécanisme de restructuration industrielle à l’échelle mondiale. Cet ouvrage présente les dernières tendances et les forces motrices de la mondialisation dans les grands pays de l’OCDE ainsi que leurs conséquences pour la performance industrielle et l’action des pouvoirs publics. Il analyse les évolutions régionales et sectorielles, notamment dans les secteurs des télécommunications, de l’automobile, de l’acier, des produits pharmaceutiques, des compagnies aériennes et dans les services financiers. La multiplication des alliances pour le commerce électronique interentreprises (B2B) et grand public (B2C) et la mondialisation des petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) y sont évaluées. Une annexe statistique présente des chiffres allant jusqu’à la fin de l'année 2000.

    Keywords: Energy ; Governance ; Science and Technology ; Transport ; Industry and Services ; Öffentliche Wirtschaft ; Restrukturierung
    Abstract: Les activités de service public, autrefois considérées comme des monopoles monolithiques, sont en réalité constituées de nombre d'activités distinctes, dont certaines peuvent affronter une réelle concurrence. L'expérience montre qu'introduire la concurrence dans ces secteurs conduit à une efficience accrue, une plus grande innovation ainsi qu'à des bienfaits pour les consommateurs tels que des prix plus bas, un meilleur service et une plus grande diversité.Cependant, les détenteurs de l'activité qui constitue un goulot d'étranglement sont souvent en position de restreindre ou de limiter l'expansion de la concurrence. A cet égard, une prise de conscience s’est opérée : on s’accorde désormais à penser que des changements structurels fondamentaux sont souvent nécessaires pour que les consommateurs et autres utilisateurs tirent pleinement profit de la concurrence.Cette publication explore la nature et l'impact des règles qui affectent la structure des activités de service public. Elle porte non seulement sur la théorie qui sous-tend les différentes formes de séparation mais également sur l'expérience pratique d’un grand nombre de pays et de secteurs. Cette publication comprend également la nouvelle recommandation de l'OCDE sur la séparation structurelle dans les secteurs réglementés. Cette recommandation incite les pays Membres à envisager la séparation du monopole des parties concurrentielles des secteurs réglementés, en particulier dans le cadre du processus de privatisation ou de libéralisation.Secteurs couverts : Transport ferroviaire Électricité Services postaux Télécommunications Industrie du gaz Services aériens Transport maritime

    Abstract: Au cours des vingt dernières années, le monde de la gestion internationale a été profondément marqué par des initiatives privées en faveur de la responsabilité des entreprises. Ces initiatives comprennent aussi bien la publication de codes de conduite commerciale, que la mise en oeuvre de systèmes de gestion ou, de façon plus générale, les efforts visant à améliorer la responsabilité commerciale. Mais les avis divergent fortement quant à la signification de ces initiatives et leur efficacité. L’étude de l’OCDE sur les initiatives privées met en lumière les divers aspects du mouvement en faveur de la responsabilité des entreprises. Que font les entreprises et les associations professionnelles ? Comment les pouvoirs publics ont-ils influencé ces initiatives ? En quoi ont-elles, le cas échéant, contribué à améliorer la capacité du secteur privé à respecter la législation et la réglementation et à répondre aux attentes plus larges du corps social ?

    Abstract: The services sector plays a vital infrastructure role in national economies, employs more people than other sectors, and is the most dynamic sector of world trade. New negotiations under the WTO General Agreement on Trade in Services, which began in January 2000, offer an important opportunity to reap the benefits of greater openness in services markets worldwide. The papers in this volume, produced as part of the OECD Trade Directorate's services project, explore fundamental issues for the services negotiations: what are the barriers to trade in services? How can those barriers be addressed in negotiations to ensure meaningful results? How can services liberalisation be bolstered and underpinned by improved regulatory transparency? Ranging from the incidence and impact of economic needs tests, through quantitative and qualitative formulas for reducing the barriers to trade in services, to possible disciplines affording interested parties the opportunity to comment before regulations are enacted, this volume identifies and analyses innovative solutions to the challenges facing services negotiators.

    Keywords: Environment ; Industry and Services ; Industrie ; Biotechnologie ; Nachhaltigkeit
    Abstract: Dans un nombre croissant de secteurs industriels, les entreprises sont sensibilisées à l'importance du développement durable et au potentiel des biotechnologies. Les biotechnologies peuvent en effet rendre les activités industrielles plus respectueuses de l'environnement et réduire tant les dépenses d'investissement que les coûts d'exploitation. Elles peuvent également contribuer à diminuer, d'une part, les quantités de matières premières et d'énergie consommées et, d'autre part, les volumes de déchets générés. Cet ouvrage est le premier à rassembler toute une série d'études de cas présentant des applications biotechnologiques intégrées à des procédés industriels. Il les analyse en profondeur afin d'en extraire des enseignements pour les chefs d'entreprise et les décideurs politiques. Les premiers y trouveront motif à encouragement et les seconds des éléments sur lesquels bâtir de futurs programmes.

    Keywords: Agriculture and Food ; Industry and Services ; Landbau ; Externer Effekt ; Öffentliches Gut ; Agrarpolitik
    Abstract: Le terme de multifonctionnalité est de plus en plus utilisé mais différentes interprétations sont attachées à sa définition, son utilité et ses implications pour la politique au niveau national et international. L’OCDE a entrepris cette analyse pour clarifier le concept de multifonctionnalité et pour essayer d’établir un cadre analytique et une terminologie communs. Cette étude examine les aspects de production, d’externalité et de bien d’intérêt public de la multifonctionnalité. Elle présente une série de questions dont les réponses déterminent quand une intervention publique est appropriée et quelle forme elle doit prendre. Le cadre développé prend en compte toutes les externalités de l’agriculture, qu’elles soient négatives ou positives. La première question est relative à l’intensité du caractère conjoint des produits multiples au niveau de la production. La seconde identifie les circonstances dans lesquelles intervient une défaillance du marché. Une troisième question conduit à examiner les caractéristiques des produits en question en tant que biens d’intérêt public et permet de mieux définir le type d’intervention le plus approprié. Ces interventions peuvent aller de la création d’un marché à l’imposition de charges d’utilisation, en passant par la constitution de clubs ou l’approvisionnement public financé au niveau local, régional ou national. La politique la plus efficace est définie par l’intensité du caractère conjoint des produits du côté de l’offre et par leurs caractéristiques du côté de la demande, l’ensemble des coûts et bénéfices étant considérés.

    Abstract: Private initiatives for corporate responsibility have been a major development in international management over the last twenty years. The initiatives include issuance of codes of business conduct, implementation of management systems and broader efforts to improve business accountability. Yet, there is little agreement about what these initiatives mean or how effective they are. OECD research on private initiatives sheds light on various aspects of the corporate responsibility movement: what are firms and business associations doing? How have governments influenced the initiatives? What contributions, if any, have these initiatives made to improving the business sector’s ability to comply with law and regulation and to respond to broader societal expectations?

    Abstract: The term multifunctionality is increasingly used, but is prone to different interpretations concerning its definition, its utility and its implications for policy at domestic and international level. The OECD undertook this analysis to clarify the concept of multifunctionality and to try to establish a common analytical framework and terminology. Examining production, externality and public good aspects of multifunctionality, the analysis contained in this report leads to a series of questions, the answers to which determine if and when policy intervention is warranted and what the nature of that intervention should be. The framework encompasses both negative and positive externalities of agriculture. The first question relates to the degree of jointness in production between the multiple outputs. The second question identifies the circumstances in which market failure arises. A third question leads to an investigation of the public good characteristics of the outputs in question and helps to define the optimal type of intervention. These may range from market creation, to the imposition of user fees, the formation of clubs or public provision financed at local, regional or national level. The most efficient policy option is defined by the nature of jointness on the supply side and by the characteristics of the output on the demand side, all costs and benefits being taken into account.

    Abstract: New patterns of globalisation are accelerating the internationalisation of industry and reshaping industrial structure at the global level. Rapidly growing cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and strategic alliances are distinctive features of globalisation in the current era. They have become common paths to internationalising business operations, research and markets, together with traditional forms of trade and investment. An overwhelming share of foreign direct investment (FDI) is now in the form of M&As rather than greenfield investment, as firms shelve earlier diversification and expansion strategies and focus on core competencies. Strategic alliances are also a powerful mechanism for industrial restructuring on a global basis. This book presents the latest trends and drivers of globalisation in major OECD countries and their implications for industrial performance and government policies. It analyses regional as well as sectoral trends, including in telecommunications, automobiles, steel, pharmaceuticals, airlines and financial services. Growing alliances for business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) electronic commerce, and globalisation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are assessed. A Statistical Annex presents data through 2000.

    Abstract: Municipal waste has increased 22 % per capita from 1980 to 1997. At the same time, the difficulty of siting new waste disposal facilities has increased. While major progress has been made to lessen the per capita generation of air and water pollution over the past decades, waste generation is still on the rise. Faced with the increase of waste, many governments have reviewed available policy options and concluded that placing the responsibility for the post-consumer phase of certain goods on producers could provide a means to relieve certain environmental pressures, arising from post-consumer waste. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach under which producers accept significant responsibility - financial and/or physical - for the treatment or disposal of post-consumer products. Assigning such responsibility could provide incentives to prevent wastes at the source, promote product design for the environment and support the achievement of public recycling and materials management goals. Within the OECD the trend is towards the extension of EPR to new products, product groups and waste streams such as electrical appliances and electronics. This guidance manual represents one means to inform national governments about the potential benefits and costs associated with EPR.

    Abstract: The first OECD Conference on Women Entrepreneurs in SMEs in 1997 highlighted their contribution to innovation and job creation. Since that time, women’s entrepreneurship has been burgeoning. Women entrepreneurs constitute a growing share of SME owners, with higher than average start-up rates in several OECD Member and non-member countries. Eliminating obstacles to the creation and development of firms by women and creating a level playing field for women business owners is vital for a thriving entrepreneurial sector and important for national growth strategies. Women business owners are creating new niches for entrepreneurial activity and have the potential to become key players in the new, knowledge-based economy. However, they must adapt to profound changes in the way small enterprises do business, both locally and at the global level. The 2000 Conference aimed at finding ways to help women-owned SMEs seize the opportunities offered by globalisation, ICTs, changes in firm organisation, the increasing importance of the service sector, and other current developments. Cette publication est tirée de la conférence de l'OCDE sur « Les femmes entrepreneurs à la tête de PME : pour une participation dynamique à la mondialisation et à l'économie fondée sur le savoir ». Les lecteurs de langue française y trouveront une synthèse en français des présentations, discussions et conclusions de la conférence.

    Abstract: Businesses’ Views on Red Tape provides the first opportunity to systematically compare data across 11 OECD countries. The data show how small and medium-sized enterprises perceive national administrative and regulatory costs. Regulations and government formalities, so-called "red tape", are important tools used by governments to carry out public policies in many policy areas, including safety, health, and environmental protection. However, if they are poorly designed or applied, inefficient, or outdated, they can impede innovation, entry, investment, and create unnecessary barriers to trade, investment, and economic efficiency. The result of poor regulation and formalities is that national economies become less able to grow, compete, adjust, and create jobs. Based on a survey of almost 8 000 businesses, this report assesses the quality, application and burdens of employment, environment and tax regulations and formalities. The results are dramatic: for example, red tape accounts for 4% of the annual turnover of companies, while the hardest hit are the smallest companies, and these costs are growing in most countries.

    Abstract: The 2001 edition of Transfer Pricing Guidelines was substantially revised in July 2010. See the current edition . This compact version of Transfer Pricing Guidelines provides the complete and current text of the OECD pricing guidelines accepted by member countries and to be used by multinational enterprises when transferring goods and services across boundaries and within the same group of companies. They maintain the arm's length principle of treating related entreprises within a multinational group and affirm traditional transaction methods as the prefered way of implementing the principle. These controversial issues are not just of interest to tax experts. National tax administrations, taxpayers, and businessmen alike all have a share in avoiding conflicting tax rules which might seriously hamper the development of world trade. These guidelines have also been published in a loose leaf version.

    Abstract: Chinese decision-makers are grappling with policy choices that will optimise the gains from China’s integration into the international trading system in harmony with social, regional and sustainable development goals. Trade liberalisation can significantly enhance the reform process underway and bring great benefits to China. But the agricultural sector faces the greatest challenges and potential hardships of any economic sector from this process. Significant domestic policy reform and structural adjustment will be critical to enable China to realise its comparative advantage in agriculture and to redeploy an estimated 150 million redundant farmers. To sharpen understanding of the policy options, the OECD invited Chinese and international experts to reflect together upon the likely impacts of freer trade on China’s agricultural sector. Based on the results of China’s WTO negotiations with key trading partners, they assessed the compatibility of China’s WTO commitments with domestic policies and the need for specific changes. They analysed the effects of likely policy changes on cereal, oilseeds and livestock markets in China and OECD countries. And they examined the implications of China’s WTO accession on rural enterprises, regional development and the domestic and international political economy. These proceedings offer the reader the fruits of timely analytical and strategic thinking and joint reflection on some of the most important agricultural policy issues for China and the world.

    Abstract: Public utility industries, once regarded as monolithic monopolies, in fact are made up of many separate activities, many of which can sustain effective competition. But owners of bottleneck facilities are often in a position to restrict or limit the growth of competition. There is a growing realisation that fundamental structural changes are often necessary if the full benefits of competition are to be achieved for users and consumers. This publication explores the nature and impact of rules which affect the structure of public utility industries. It covers not only the theory behind different forms of separation but also practical experience in a wide variety of countries and sectors (railways, electricity, postal services, telecommunications, gas, air services, and maritime transport). It also contains the new OECD Recommendation on Structural Separation of Regulated Industries, which urges Member countries to consider separating the monopoly and the competitive parts of regulated industries, especially during the process of privatisation or liberalisation.

    Abstract: To address many of the environmental challenges that face us today, including climate change, countries are striving to deploy efficient and effective tools for environmental management at the national level. Tradable/transferable permits are one such tool. What are the key design parameters for domestic tradable permit programmes? What additional considerations should policy-makers keep in mind before choosing tradable permits over other policy instruments? Why have many proposals for domestic tradable permit systems failed to materialise and how could the obstacles be overcome? This publication attempts to answer these questions, by providing a systematic analysis of the various approaches, challenges, conditions and potential solutions relating to the design and introduction of domestic transferable permit schemes.

    Abstract: Primary commodities dominate African exports, yet these products are extremely vulnerable to variations in weather conditions, world demand and prices. If the continent is to obtain optimum benefit from the integration and opening of the world economy, this heavy reliance on primary products must be reduced. There is, thus, a new and important role for African countries’ manufacturing industries. The papers in this volume address three important issues: the role of exchange-rate policy in enhancing the competitiveness of African manufactured exports; the steps that can be taken to improve production efficiency; and the role of institutional and structural reforms in promoting competitiveness in manufacturing and in improving Africa’s attractiveness to foreign direct investment. An Epilogue evaluates progress and developments since the conference which gave rise to this volume was held.

    Abstract: The growth potential of countries increasingly depends on the effectiveness of their innovation systems in creating, diffusing and using knowledge. A large share of market-based or informal knowledge flows occur within industrial clusters that can be seen as reduced-form innovation systems. Policies to stimulate innovation at national and local levels must both build on and contribute to the dynamics of innovative clusters. This book presents a series of papers written by policy makers and academic experts in the field, that demonstrate why and how this can be done in different national contexts.

    Abstract: The OECD Joint Group on Trade and Competition was established in 1996 to help deepen understanding of the complex issues arising at the interface of these two policy domains against a globalising backdrop and explore how best to ensure that both sets of policies are mutually supportive in promoting greater economic efficiency. This publication, the third to arise from Joint Group activities, brings together a series of working papers that Member countries’ trade and competition authorities have considered during the past two years. The objective of the publication is to share with a broader audience the tangible progress made recently by the two communities in the analysis of important issues at the interface between trade and competition policies.

    Abstract: Tourism plays an increasingly important role in many OECD economies. How can its impact on the economy and its potential for job creation be measured? The Tourism Satellite Account and the Employment Module - two new economic instruments designed by the OECD’s Tourism Committee - provide insights into the socio-economic impact, structure and development of activities related to tourism. For the first time, Measuring the Role of Tourism in OECD Economies: The OECD Manual on Tourism Satellite Accounts and Employment reports on the most recent national experiences in implementing Tourism Satellite Accounts and presents the results of efforts made over the past decade to develop new methods to analyse tourism and tourism-related employment. Through its descriptions of the application of Tourism Satellite Accounts in 16 OECD countries, this new book aims to create awareness of the growing economic importance of tourism, and provides a methodology for the implementation of tools to measure the impact of tourism and for the interpretation of the results.

    Abstract: Le tourisme joue un rôle de plus en plus important dans les économies de nombreux pays de l'OCDE. Comment mesurer l'impact économique du tourisme et son potentiel de création d'emplois ? Le compte satellite du tourisme et le module emploi - deux nouveaux instruments économiques élaborés par le Comité du tourisme de l'OCDE - permettent de déterminer l'impact socio-économique, la structure et l'évolution des activités liées au tourisme. Pour la première fois, Mesurer le rôle du tourisme dans les pays de l’OCDE: Manuel de l’OCDE sur les comptes satellites du tourisme et l’emploi décrit les expériences nationales les plus récentes dans la mise en oeuvre des comptes satellites du tourisme et présente les résultats des efforts déployés au cours de la dernière décennie pour développer de nouvelles méthodes d'analyse du tourisme et de l'emploi touristique. A travers l’analyse des expériences de 16 pays de l’OCDE, ce document attire l'attention du lecteur sur l'importance économique croissante du tourisme et fournit des éléments pratiques pour la mise en place d'outils de mesure de l'impact du tourisme et pour l'interprétation des résultats.

    Abstract: The taxation of professional services and other activities of an independent character under Article 14 of the OECD Model Tax Convention is problematic. For example, what activities and entities fall within Article 14 as opposed to the business profits Article (Article 7)? Is the distinction between those activities and entities satisfactory and easy to apply? What are the practical differences between taxation under Article 7 and 14? This report analyses those questions in detail and concludes that there is no practical difference between the two Articles or if any differences did in fact exist, there is no valid policy justification for them. It recommends that Article 14 be eliminated from the Model and describes the changes that would need to be made to the Articles and Commentary of the Model as a consequence.

    Abstract: Die Welt steht heute an der Schwelle zu einer neuen Ära, in der die Chance einer lang anhaltenden Phase der Hochkonjunktur in den ersten Jahrzehnten des neuen Jahrtausends zum Greifen nahe sein wird. Das Zusammenwirken mehrerer Einflüsse – insbesondere der Übergang zu einer wissensbasierten Gesellschaft, die Globalisierung der Wirtschaft und das Streben nach ökologischer Nachhaltigkeit – könnte gewaltige Verbesserungen sowohl in bezug auf die Kapazitäten zur Schaffung von Wohlstand als auch für das weltweite Wohlergehen der Menschen mit sich bringen.Welche Weichenstellungen sind notwendig, damit diese Chance nicht ungenützt bleibt? Neue Institutionen werden gebraucht, um die internationalen Regeln und Rahmenbedingungen zu schaffen, die den Übergang zur wissensbasierten Gesellschaft erleichtern. Der Bericht gibt einen Überblick über die fundamentalen Antriebskräfte des gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Wandels von morgen. Er schätzt die Plausibilität des Eintretens in ein „Goldenes Zeitalter“ ein und analysiert die Politikerfordernisse, die zu seiner Verwirklichung notwendig sind.

    Abstract: Services are transforming OECD economies on a massive scale, but are still impeded by regulations and policies that stifle innovation and competition. Comprehensive reforms need to be pursued internationally as well as in individual OECD countries. These are the principal conclusions reached by participants in a Business and Industry Policy Forum organised by the OECD on 28 September 1999. The Forum was organised by the Industry Committee, partly to address the mandate of the OECD Ministerial to explain the differences which have emerged in growth performance among OECD countries. It brought together senior government officials, experts, and business and trade union leaders from 30 countries to address issues related to “Realising the Potential of the Service Economy: Facilitating Growth, Innovation and Competition”.
