Remittances and Economic Growth: Larger Impacts in Smaller Countries
This paper examines the impact of remittances on economic growth in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Results from variants of an empirical model suggest that while, on average, there is at best no association between remittances and growth in developing countries, there is a positive association between these variables in SIDS. This finding holds for SIDS in sub-Saharan Africa and the Pacific but not for those in Latin America and the Carib…

Aid and Growth in Small Island Developing States
Aid flows to small island developing states (SIDS) are enormous by international standards when compared to the size of their economies. Yet these countries face many severe economic challenges and many have experienced declines in the living standards of their citizens. This paper looks at the impact of aid on what is treated as a necessary precondition for improvements in living standards, typically defined. Specifically, it examines the impact…
Vulnerability, Trade, Financial Flows and State Failure in Small Island Developing States
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are very different to other developing countries. Relative to GDP they have the highest levels of foreign trade and aid receipts of all developing countries. Remittances from abroad are a far more important source of income for SIDS, and some depend very heavily on export revenues. The quality of governance varies tremendously among SIDS, they are over-represented among countries classified as fragile states …
Global Inequality in Well-being Dimensions
This paper contributes to the literature on global inequality in multidimensional well-being by examining inter-country disparities in the longevity, knowledge and standard of material living components of the well-known and widely-used Human Development Index for the years 1992–2004. It differs from previous studies by examining global inequality in each of the components of this index alongside that of the index as a whole, thus side-stepping a…

Understanding Human Well-being
With more than a billion people living on less than one dollar per day, human well-being is a core issue for both researchers and policymakers. The Millennium Development Goals are a powerful reminder of this point. We now know more about human well-being and the related concepts of poverty and inequality than ever before, as a result of many conceptual and methodological advances and better data. Yet despite this progress, the vitality of underl…
Inequality, Poverty and Well-Being
Well-being Achievement in Pacific Asia
The world has undergone rapid and tremendous change in recent decades. While many nations have achieved ever-higher per capita incomes, and higher well-being according to traditional measures, they have also experienced profound internal change. This change has lead to widespread concerns regarding social exclusion, human security, levels of personal satisfaction and happiness. Other countries have faired much less well, as according to many well…
Fuzzy Well-being Achievement in Pacific Asia
This paper develops a framework that uses fuzzy-set theory to measure human well-being. Fuzzy sets allow for gradual transition from one state to another while also allowing one to incorporate rules and goals, and hence are more appropriate for measuring outcomes that are ambiguous. Such ambiguity is an inherent characteristic of cross-country achieved well-being assessments. This framework is used to provide a fuzzy representation of the well-kn…
Non-economic Well-being Achievement in Pacific Asia
It is well known that income per capita and most widely reported non-economic well-being achievement measures are highly correlated among countries. Yet many countries exhibit higher achievement in the latter than predicted by the former. The reverse is true for many other countries. This paper commences by extracting the inter-country variation in a composite of three widely reported educational and health status indicators not accounted for by …

Does Aid Create Trade? An Investigation for European Donors and African Recipients
Aid, adjustment and public sector fiscal behaviour in the Philippines
A common aim of structural adjustment programmes is to expand the tax base of countries undergoing such reforms. Moreover, it is often the case that adjustment programmes are introduced soon after or in conjuction with attempts to stabilize the economies of these countries, which includes attempts to reduce public sector fiscal deficits. It is also the case, of course, that most programmes have been introduced under World Bank and IMF policy-base…

How Well is Aid Allocated? Descriptive Measures of Aid Allocation: A Survey of Methodology and Results
Although many factors affect which countries actually receive aid, a case can be made for evaluating donor allocative performance with respect to the average income of recipients. A number of indicators are commonly used for such an assessment. Based on criteria developed in this paper, two such indicators - Suits' index and McGillivray's adjusted performance index - are shown to be the most suitable. These indicators are used to compare the perf…

Regulating the Accountability of Charitable Organisations: The Victorian Experience
This paper concentrates on the regulation of charitable organisations in the state of Victoria, where governments have sought to determine the bona fides of these organisations by obtaining their financial reports. A survey of the financial reports of registered Victorian charities indicates, however, that a significant proportion of charities do not supply this information. This deficiency indicates that government judgements about the bona fide…
