The Rise of the Global Middle Class
The middle class is the most successful group in world history. Sometime before 2030 the fifth billionth person will join the middle class. What started a little over two hundred years ago as a search for a better life has fueled unprecedented global transformation. In his new book Homi Kharas looks at how this powerful dream captivated generations through history, but its demands have led younger generations to ask if it is all worth it. Can the…
Global development cooperation in a Covid-19 world
COVID-19 and the economic response have amplified and changed the nature of development challenges in fundamental ways. Global development cooperation should adapt accordingly. This paper lays out the urgency for new methods of development cooperation that can deliver resource transfers at scale, oriented to addressing climate change and with transparency and better governance. It looks at what is actually happening to major donor countries’ deve…
What do we know about poverty in North Korea
Reliable quantitative information on the North Korean economy is extremely scarce. In particular, reliable income per capita and poverty figures for the country are not available. In this contribution, we provide for the first time estimates of absolute poverty rates in North Korean subnational regions based on the combination of innovative remote-sensed night-time light intensity data (monthly information for built areas) with estimated income d…
Leave No One Behind
The ambitious 15-year agenda known as the Sustainable Development Goals, adopted in 2015 by all members of the United Nations, contains a pledge that “no one will be left behind.” This book aims to translate that bold global commitment into an action-oriented mindset, focused on supporting specific people in specific places who are facing specific problems. In this volume, experts from Japan, the United States, Canada, and other countries address…

What Motivates Private Foreign Aid? Evidence from Internet-Based Microlending
Although private foreign aid has expanded dramatically in recent years, we still lack detailed information on the allocation of those private aid flows. We use a novel approach to examine the funding decisions of individuals with respect to international development assistance. We analyze the speed at which requests from microentrepreneurs in developing countries are fulfilled through a US-based Internet organization that bundles individual contr…
The New Global Agenda and the Future of the Multilateral Development Bank System
The Brookings Institution is a nonprofit organization devoted to independent research and policy solutions.Its mission is to conduct high-quality, independent research and, based on that research, to provide innovative, practical recommendations for policymakers and the public.The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) is a leading independent think tank on international de
The Money Trail
The California Consensus
Global philanthropy is remaking the relationship between the world's rich and poor. Private aid – aid provided by foundations, corporations, non-governmental organisations, and individuals – has doubled over the past decade and may soon overtake ‘official’ foreign aid. Something of a consensus has developed around the emergence of private aid – that is it is less prone to corruption and more likely to benefit the poor. While private aid has the p…
An East Asian Renaissance
The region has been transformed by these developments, changing from a set of countries that rapidly integrated with the world to one that is also aggressively exploiting the sources of dynamism that lie within Asia. But countries in East Asia now face the domestic side-effects of rapid growth driven by international integration: congestion, conflict, and corruption. The challenge now is to complement global and regional integration with domestic…
International competitiveness, the demand for exports and real effective exchange rates in developing countries
LDC savings rates and debt crises
Foreign borrowing and macroeconomic adjustment to external shocks
The costs and benefits of foreign borrowing
This article surveys the literature on multi‐period models of foreign borrowing to shed light on the issue of how much a country should borrow and under what circumstances there is a role for public intervention. It identifies the essential structural elements of multi‐period models and draws out the ramifications of the alternative specifications adopted. It discusses the insights and shortcomings of three classes of models: non‐optimising, opti…
