Union of the Comoros
Comoros is a small, fragile island state (population: 850,000) with low and shock-prone growth. A Staff-Monitored Program (SMP) has been in place since July 2021. Policies aimed to: (i) contain and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic; and (ii) start implementing reforms to overcome fragility, boost inclusive growth, and limit risks. The first review assessed implementation through end-September 2021 as satisfactory and rescheduled three structural benchmarks that needed more time from end-December 2021 to end-February 2022. This second (and final) review assessed implementation of end-December 2021 and end-February 2022 quantitative targets and structural benchmarks, as well as overall policy implementation under the SMP.

Selected Issues
Leading Economic and Managerial Issues Involving Globalization
This new book deals with the major consequences of growing globalisation for economies, for economic behaviour, and for business behaviour and performance. It covers managerial business behaviour (such as in business partnerships and marketing), microeconomic and macroeconomic topics, and considers adjustments in managerial behaviour and economic policies that occur, or are needed, in a globalising world. Both applied and theoretical aspects are discussed. Its coverage should interest (among others) those in business management, marketing, economics (macroeconomics, microeconomics, industry economics, managerial economics, economic development, international economics, monetary economics) and finance.
Good Governance in Sub-Saharan Africa
Governance and corruption issues have taken the center stage in international discussions, especially after the adoption by the IMF in 2018 of a new framework for engagement on governance and corruption. Sound institutions that guarantee integrity in the management of public affairs are critical on the path toward higher and more inclusive growth. Corruption undermines the quality of institutions, weakens the effectiveness of government programs, and compromises social trust in government policies. Indeed, countries around the world that improved their governance systems are reaping a “governance dividend,” and governance-enhancing reformist countries in sub-Saharan Africa include Botswa...
Econometric Methods for Labour Economics
An accessible presentation of the standard statistical techniques used by labour economists. It emphasises both the input and output of empirical analysis and covers the application of five major econometric methods.
World malaria report 2022
Each year, WHO’s World malaria report offers in-depth information on the latest trends in malaria control and elimination at global, regional and country levels. The report highlights progress towards global targets and describes opportunities and challenges for curbing and eliminating the disease. This year’s report includes three new sections on: (1) global and regional initiatives launched in 2021 and 2022; (2) global malaria surveillance and country-level case studies on surveillance systems assessments; and (3) research and development. The report also includes an expanded section on threats to malaria control, with a focus on the declining effectiveness of insecticide-treated mosquito nets.
Progress in Economics Research, Volume 11
This series spans the globe presenting leading research in economics. It is perhaps a sign of the times that economic weapons seem to be as powerful as or more so than tanks. International applications and examples of economic progress are invaluable in the world of the 21st century.
Practical Microsimulation Modelling
'Practical Microsimulation Modelling' brings together a description and examples of the main methods used in microsimulation modelling used in the field of income distribution analysis. It is structured to develop and use the different types of models used in the field, with a focus on household targeted policy.
Non-Parametric Econometrics
This book allows those with a basic knowledge of econometrics to learn the main nonparametric and semiparametric techniques used in econometric modelling, and how to apply them correctly. It looks at kernel density estimation, kernel regression, splines, wavelets, and mixture models, and provides useful empirical examples throughout. Using empirical application, several economic topics are addressed, including income distribution, wage equation, economic convergence, the Phillipscurve, interest rate dynamics, returns volatility, and housing prices. A helpful appendix also explains how to implement the methods using R.This useful book will appeal to practitioners and researchers who need an accessible introduction to nonparametric and semiparametric econometrics. The practical approach provides an overview of the main techniques without including too much focus on mathematical formulas. It also serves as an accompanying textbook for a basic course, typically at undergraduate or graduate level.
