Sub‐Saharan Africa's participation in global value chains: 1995–2021
This paper examines Sub‐Saharan Africa's (SSA) role in global value chains (GVCs) through a new comprehensive country‐sector level database. It reaffirms known aspects: SSA's involvement in GVCs has grown but still trails other regions, especially in manufacturing. Typically, SSA is involved in upstream production stages, exporting commodities that are later processed and re‐exported by other countries. Only few SSA countries have integrated into…
Pandemic trade: Covid‐19, remote work and global value chains
This paper studies the trade effects of COVID‐19 using monthly disaggregated trade data for 28 countries and multiple trading partners from the beginning of the pandemic to June 2020. Regression results based on a sector‐level gravity model show that the negative trade effects induced by COVID‐19 shocks varied widely across sectors. Sectors more amenable to remote work contracted less throughout the pandemic. Importantly, participation in global …

Labor Market Effects of Demographic Shifts and Migration in OECD Countries
The labor force of each industrial country is being shaped by three forces: ageing, education and migration. Drawing on a new database for the OECD countries and a standard analytical framework, this paper focuses on the relative and aggregate effects of these three forces on wages across different skill and age groups over 2000 to 2010. The variation in the age and educational structure of the labor force emerges as the dominant influence on wag…
Internal borders and migration in India
Internal mobility is a critical component of economic growth and development, as it enables the reallocation of labor to more productive opportunities across sectors and regions. Using detailed district-to-district migration data from the 2001 Census of India, the article highlights the role of state borders as significant impediments to internal mobility. The analysis finds that average migration between neighboring districts in the same state i…

Criss-Crossing Migration
The current perspective on the flow of people is almost exclusively focused on permanent migration from poorer to richer countries and on immigration policies in industrial countries. But international mobility of people should no longer be seen as a one-time event or one-way flow from South to North. The economic crisis has accentuated the longer-term shift in location incentives for people in industrial countries. As consumers, they could obtai…
Liberalizing Trade in Services: Lessons from Regional and WTO Negotiations
Liberalization of trade and investment in services through trade agreements has progressed less than trade in goods. We review the limited progress achieved to date in the WTO and major regional agreements on services and possible explanations why trade agreements have not been more effective at integrating the services markets of participating countries. We argue that the prospects for both services liberalization and welfare-enhancing regulator…
Performance of Skilled Migrants in the U.S.: A Dynamic Approach
The initial occupational placements of male immigrants in the United States labor market vary significantly by country of origin even when education and other individual factors are taken into account. Does the heterogeneity persist over time? Using data from the 1980, 1990, and 2000 Censuses, this paper finds that the performance of migrants from countries with lower initial occupational placement levels improves at a higher rate compared with t…

Reform and Regional Integration of Professional Services in East Africa
Professional services matter for \n development in East Africa. Business services, including \n professional services, are among the most dynamic services \n sectors; and are a key input for other sectors. Greater use \n of professional services by East African firms is associated \n with higher labor productivity. But there is a large gap \n between the potential contribution these services could make \n and the meager contribution they make tod…
Labor Skills And Foreign Investment In A Dynamic Economy: Estimating The Knowledge-Capital Model For Singapore
Singapore is an interesting example of \n how the pattern of foreign investment changes with economic \n development. The authors analyze inbound and outbound \n investment between Singapore and a sample of industrialized \n and developing countries over the period 1984-2003. They \n find that Singapore s two-way investment with industrialized \n nations has shifted into skill-seeking activities over the \n period, while Singapore s investments i…
Migration From Zambia: Ensuring Temporariness Through Cooperation
The paper analyzes migration from Zambia in order to understand how migration policy can support development in the least developed countries. Overall emigration from Zambia is not high by regional standards, but the pattern of migration is skewed toward the skilled and away from the unskilled. A development-friendly approach to migration for Zambia would strive to ensure the temporariness of both types of movement. First, industrial countries ma…

Can Guest Worker Schemes Reduce Illegal Migration ?
We analyze recent efforts at international cooperation to limit illegal migration, particularly through the use of legal migration avenues like guest worker (GW) schemes. We show that while GW schemes may be desirable in themselves as an avenue of international migration, they are an inefficient instrument to induce cooperation on illegal migration. On the one hand, GW schemes suffer from a negative selection problem relative to illegal migration…
Do Institutions Matter More For Services
Recent empirical research has focused on the role of institutions in overall economic performance. This paper examines the impact of institutions on the relative performance of the service sector. Through cross-country level and growth regressions we establish the following stylized fact: countries with better institutions have relatively larger and more dynamic service sectors. We suggest that regulatory and contract enforcing institutions play …
Does Temporary Migration Have To Be Permanent
The choice between temporary and permanent migration is today central to the design of migration policies. The authors draw a distinction between the two types of migration on the basis of the associated social cost and the dynamics of learning by migrants. They find that unilateral migration policies are globally inefficient because they lead to too much permanent migration and too little temporary and overall migration. Existing international a…
Brain Waste? Educated Immigrants in the U.S. Labor Market
The authors investigate the occupational placement of immigrants in the U.S. labor market using census data. They find striking differences among highly educated immigrants from different countries, even after they control for individuals' age, experience, and level of education. With some exceptions, educated immigrants from Latin American and Eastern European countries are more likely to end up in unskilled jobs than immigrants from Asia and in…
