  • Towards a Fresh Start in Measuring Gender Equality

    A Geske Dijkstra, A DijkstraARTICLEJournal of Human Development2006

    Both the Gender‐related Development Index (GDI) and the Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM) represent a “false start” in measuring gender equality. This is because they do not measure gender (in)equality as such, but an odd combination of absolute welfare levels and gender equality that is not easy to interpret. This note argues that the United Nations Development Programme's Human Development Report Office should take the lead in either constructin…

  • The Effectiveness of Policy Conditionality

    Open AccessA Geske Dijkstra, A DijkstraARTICLEDevelopment and Change2002Citada por: 6

    This article analyses the effectiveness of the setting of policy conditions in exchange for aid. Given the emerging consensus that this process is not effective, this article focuses on explaining why not. In analysing the experiences of eight countries - Bangladesh, Cape Verde, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam and Zambia - an 'augmented' principal-agent framework proved valuable in explaining why policy conditionality is not effe…

  • Measuring Socio-Economic Gender Inequality

    A Geske Dijkstra, A Dijkstra et al.ARTICLEFeminist Economics2000Citada por: 33Referências: 4

    This paper assesses the United Nations Development Program’s (UNDP) Gender-Related Development Index (GDI). Although the GDI has increased attention on gender equality in human development, it suffers from several limitations. A major problem is that it conflates relative gender equality with absolute levels of human development and thus gives no information on comparative gender inequality among countries. Using the same indicators as the GDI, t…

  • Technocracy Questioned

    Open AccessA Geske Dijkstra, A DijkstraARTICLEBulletin of Latin American Research1999Citada por: 5Referências: 13

    The Chamorro government (1990-1996) has finally achieved stabilisation in Nicaragua. At first sight, this government has been a classic example of technocracy, implementing stabilisation and structural adjustment policies as recommended by the IMF and the World Bank. The paper argues that the IMF and the World Bank did have a considerable influence on economic policies, but that these policies suffered from limitations. The priority of internal s…

  • Fighting Inflation in Latin America

    Open AccessA DijkstraARTICLEDevelopment and Change1997

    Inflation has been a chronic problem for Latin American economies since the Second World War. In the 1980s, inflation ran out of control in many countries. This article analyses the causes of these high inflation rates and discusses the experiences of Latin American countries in fighting (hyper-) inflation in the 1980s and 1990s. Particular attention is given to the relative merits of orthodox versus heterodox approaches, and to the use of the ex…
