  • Classifying Sustainable Development Goal trajectories

    Open AccessJohn W McArthur, Krista RasmussenARTICLEWorld Development2019Citada por: 5Referências: 1

    How useful are the Sustainable Development Goals for conducting empirical analysis at the country level? We develop a methodological framework for answering this question, with special emphasis on the SDGs' normative ambition of "no one left behind." We first classify all 169 SDG targets and find that 78 incorporate an outcome-focus that is quantitatively assessable at the country level, including 43 through a systematic approach to establishing …

  • Change of pace

    Open AccessJohn W McArthur, Krista RasmussenARTICLEWorld Development2018Citada por: 7

    This paper presents a quantitative investigation of trends before and after the establishment of the U.N. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to determine which trajectories changed where, and to what scale of human consequence. We perform three empirical assessments: a count of countries that accelerated their rate of progress post-2000; statistical t-tests for differences in mean country rates of progress; and a determination of the incremental…

  • Fertilizing growth

    Open AccessJohn W McArthur, Gordon C MccordARTICLEJournal of Development Economics2017Citada por: 18Referências: 7

    This paper estimates the role of agronomic inputs in cereal yield improvements and the consequences for countries' processes of structural change. The results suggest a clear role for fertilizer, modern seeds and water in boosting yields. We then test for respective empirical links between agricultural yields and economic growth, labor share in agriculture and non-agricultural value added per worker. The identification strategy includes a novel i…

  • Ending Africa's Poverty Trap

    Jeff Sachs, Jeffrey Sachs et al.ARTICLEBrookings Papers on Economic…2004

    Africa’s development crisis is unique. Not only is Africa the poorest region in the world, but it was also the only major developing region with negative growth in income per capita during 1980–2000 (table 1). Some African countries grew during the 1990s, but for the most part this growth recovered ground lost during the 1980s. Moreover, Africa’s health condi-tions are by far the worst on the planet. The AIDS pandemic is wreaking havoc, as is the…

  • The Challenges Facing Landlocked Developing Countries

    Michael L Faye, Michael Faye et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Development2004

    In spite of technological improvements in transport, landlocked developing countries continue to face structural challenges to accessing world markets. As a result, landlocked countries often lag behind their maritime neighbours in overall development and external trade. While the relatively poor performance of many landlocked countries can be attributed to distance from coast, this paper argues that several aspects of dependence on transit neigh…
