International Collaboration in Times of Pandemics: An Urgent Need for Reforming our Global Financial System
Better, swifter and more responsive international coordination is needed within our global financial system for the containment of the pandemic and its effects. This requires better international tax coordination with a higher global minimum corporate tax, comprehensive coverage of sectors and firms, inclusion of all current tax havens and more generous redistribution of excess profits to developing nations based on user location. There also need…

Full Employment Target: What Lessons for a Post-2015 Development Agenda
Traditional development aid interventions, as formulated in the Millennium Development Goals, might not be the most effective response for the poor to grow out of poverty due to the triple crises of nutrition, finance and environment, in addition to the changing geopolitical landscape. New challenges therefore need to be confronted in a post-2015 agenda, which could be the best part of a global social contract in which all concerns should therefo…

Income Inequality and Employment Revisited: Can One Make Sense of Economic Policy
This article discusses growing inequalities in the context of employment and labour market policies and how the latter can contribute to lowering inequalities. It discusses what is meant by income inequality, why it is remains important to focus on income inequality, which measures of income inequality are relevant and how we have arrived at growing income inequality. A last section reviews what can be done about growing inequality. The current s…

Growth, Inequality, and Poverty: Prospects for Pro-poor Economic Development
The relationship between growth, inequality, and poverty lies at the heart of development economics. It has been, and remains, one of the most controversial topics. Indeed, very few of the other core areas in development economics can compare with the shifts, reversals, and reaffirmations of views that have characterized the analysis of the interaction between growth, poverty, and inequality. Evidence that inequality and poverty rose in the 1980s…
Poverty Reduction with Growth and Redistribution
In the late 1990s the bilateral and multilateral development agencies placed increasing emphasis on poverty reduction in developing countries. This led to the establishment by the United Nations of the 'International Development Targets' for poverty reduction. The target of poverty reduction might be achieved through faster economic growth alone, through redistribution, or through a combination of the two. This article presents an analytical fram…

Manufacturing output, employment and real wages in the 1980s: Labour's loss until the century's end
During the 1980s most developing countries experienced sharp declines in manufacturing output and real wages, whilst their manufacturing sectors were supposedly ‘restructured’ or made more competitive by having to confront market forces. This article examines the extent to which macroeconomic adjustment and industrial restructuring policies succeeded in achieving their objectives

Africa’s Recovery in the 1990s
While the design of adjustment policies in the latter part of the 1980s has generally shown greater attention to their impact on growth and social implications, this book argues that several orthodox
External Dependence and Long-Term Development
At independence most sub-Saharan African countries inherited import-dependent economies. Because of rather shallow levels of GDP, as well as the small size of most of the economies, the need in these countries to build up strong economic and social infrastructure dictated in most cases the continuation of past policies, thus requiring that imports represent a substantial share of GDP. The content of imports, however, was to be changed to cater fo…
