DanielSusskindA World Without Work: Technology, Automation and How We Should RespondMetropolitan Books, 2020. 305 p. $28.00
In the first eight chapters of his book, Oxford economist Daniel Susskind tells a story of the history of automation and technological unemployment. He tells it succinctly and well. It is an enjoyable read, even for those familiar with the literature. In the remaining four chapters, Susskind examines a controversial topic: how to respond not only to “a world with less work” but also to “a world with less paid work.” Years ago, workmen typically b…

Universal age pensions in developing countries: The example of Mauritius
Mauritius, a small developing country located in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar, has provided older residents with non-contributory age pensions since 1950. The scheme became universal in 1958. Mild income tests were reintroduced in 1965 and again in 2004. Targeting proved to be unpopular, and universality each time was restored. Government added a mandatory, contributory tier in 1978 that does not replace the flat, non-contributory pension.…

Export promotion policies In Central America
Ten years ago the member countries of the Central American Common Market (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua) began to turn away from the “inward-oriented development” policy they had been applying for decades. They are now encouraging non-traditional exports by lowering tariff barriers, unifying exchange rates, and giving exporters access to intermediate and capital goods at international prices

Export processing in the Caribbean: The Jamaican experience
Export processing, also known as maquila, is a widespread activity in Mexico and Central America and is becoming increasingly important to economies in the Caribbean. Countries of the subregion have successfully attracted both foreign and domestic investment in offshore data processing and in the assembly and manufacture of garments, footwear, electrical and electronic equipment, toys and other goods for export. Investors are attracted by low lab…
Tansnationals and foreign trade: Evidence from Brazil
A recursive model of exports and imports of manufactures, in which imports depend in part on exports, is estimated using data for a cross‐section of 17,053 industrial firms. In this sample, 652 firms are foreign‐owned. Explanatory variables include firm size, skill intensity, advertising and other variables in addition to foreign ownership. Foreign ownership has a large, independent effect on both export performance and import propensities, but f…
Industrial policy in Central America
The Central American countries have a 40-year tradition of cooperation based on bilateral and multilateral treaties, the most important of which is the General Treaty on Central American Economic Integration, under whose terms the Central American Common Market (CACM) was established in 196b. Nevertheless, the industrial policies pursued by these countries since that time are notable for their lack of uniformity
Industrial restructuring, trade liberalization and the role of the State in Central America
Industrial restructuring is a response of the industrial sector to a dynamic world. In open market economies, industries continuously adjust to technological change, to changes in fashion, and to changes in relative prices. It is a process that Schumpeter referred to as “creative destruction,” i.e. the replacement of outmoded products and production techniques with new products and techniques
Determinants of industrial structure: A Brazilian case study
Export promotion and import substitution in Central American industry
The countries of Central America are often described as open economies because the ratio of trade to gross domestic product (GDP) is high. During the 1980s, the ratio of exports to gross regional product in Central America has averaged 23% and the ratio of imports to gross regional product (29%) is even higher. A large (but declining) portion of this trade consists of the exchange of manufactures among countries of the region. Still, there can be…
Energy demand in Chilean manufacturing
The Chilean experience following the 1973 increase in world energy prices is marked by wide inter-industry differences in changes in the energy intensity of production
Trade creation, trade diversion and effective protection in the central American common market
Aggregate analyses suggest that the formation of the Central American Common Market (CACM) has resulted in little or no trade diversion, but different conclusions apply when the import data are appropriately disaggregated. Increases in the effective rates of protection for consumer goods have led to increased demand for extra‐regional imports of intermediate inputs and decreased demand for extra‐regional imports of final goods. On balance, the CA…
