Development and Structural Change in Asia-Pacific
A consideration of how the Asia-Pacific economies have developed since the financial crises, the effect of global forces on the national Asian economies and their different development paths as they jointly enter this new phase.
Innovation and Growth
This volume provides an understanding of firms' R&D and innovation strategies and their economy-wide consequences. It is based on the premise that differences in firm-level returns, as well as economy-wide outcomes, may be linked to the heterogeneous ways in which firms organize and undertake R&D and innovation activities. It emphasizes innovation strategies of innovating firms, and reflects that innovation efforts do not represent a uniform type of expenditure. Organized into three parts the volume moves from the micro to the macro-level. This structure highlights the notion that R&D and innovation and growth are two interdependent perspectives. The first of these is micro-oriented and focu...
Diverse Development Paths and Structural Transformation in the Escape from Poverty
This volume analyzes the experiences of developing countries in Asia, Latin America, and Sub-Saharan Africa, and examines how they might catch up. Based on growth performance across the developing world over the last five decades, it offers a thorough account of the possibilities to engage in such processes in an increasingly globalized world. Together, the chapters highlight the diversity and variation of development pathways and provide valuable lessons and implications for how to approach this difficult question. The book shows the importance of acknowledging that the process of development is dynamic and that the possibilities for catch up are situation dependent. At the same time it makes clear that without structural change, and in particular agricultural transformation, sustained catch up is unlikely to happen. The volume demonstrates how analysis of current growth processes in developing countries can be enriched by paying closer attention to the multifaceted nature of both economic backwardness and successful pathways to escape it.
Diverse Development Paths and Structural Transformation in the Escape from Poverty
This text discusses possibilities for, and obstacles to, economic development in lower income countries in Asia, Latin America, and Sub-Saharan Africa. It examines how lower income countries might 'catch up' and advantages and disadvantages of the lateness of poor countries in the development process.
Martin Andersson : ett skuggspel
”När jag kommer hem väntar Hjalmar Bergman utanför dörren. Han sitter i trappan med örat lutat mot väggen och andas tungt, handen ligger på magen. Hatten är sjavig och hänger fram över pannan, skuggar hans ansikte, ett ansikte fullt av hål.H.B: Vilken tid det tog.M.A: Jag visste inte att du väntade.Jag öppnar dörren och låter honom komma in, faller på knä för att hjälpa honom med skorna. Fötterna blåa och såriga inuti.M.A: Hjalmar, du är sjuk.H.B: Vet jag väl. Han ser på mig med tänderna utställda i ett leende.M.A: Kom. Du behöver ett bad.” I försöken att springa ifrån sin egen berättelse möter Martin Andersson den döde författaren Hjalmar Bergman. På en prosa som är på en gång suggestiv, exakt och poetisk, skriver Sara Gordan i sin första roman fram ett liv, som vägrar låta sig naglas fast.

Global Rectificatory Justice
What are the implications of colonialism for a theory of global justice today? What does rectificatory justice mean in the light of colonialism? What does global rectificatory justice require in practice? The author seeks to answer these questions covering a significant gap in the literature on global justice.
Characterising Needs in Health Care Priority Setting
The focus of this thesis is needs in the context of health care priority setting. The notion of needs has a strong standing in health care policy; however, how the idea should be understood more specifically and how it should guide decisions about priority setting remain contentious issues. The aim of this thesis is to explore how needs should be characterised in health care priority setting. This matter is approached by, first, exploring and developing the conceptual structure of health care needs, and second, discussing and suggesting solutions to normative questions that arise when needs are characterised as a distributive principle. In the first article, the conceptual structure of needs...
Geographies of Growth
Today we can observe an increasing spatial divide as some large urban regions and many more medium-sized and small regions face growing problems such as decreasing labour demand, increasing unemployment and an ageing population. In view of these trends, this book offers a better understanding of the general characteristics and specific drivers of the geographies of growth. It shows how these may vary in different spatial contexts, how hurdles and barriers to growth in different types of regions can be dealt with, how and to what extent resources in different areas can develop, and how the potential of these resources to stimulate growth can be realized.
exports and productivity-comparable evidence for 14 countries
Abstract: The authors use comparable micro level panel data for 14 countries and a set of identically specified empirical models to investigate the relationship between exports and productivity. The overall results are in line with the big picture that is by now familiar from the literature: Exporters are more productive than non-exporters when observed and unobserved heterogeneity are controlled for, and these exporter productivity premia tend to increase with the share of exports in total sales; there is strong evidence in favour of self-selection of more productive firms into export markets, but nearly no evidence in favour of the learning-by-exporting hypothesis. The authors document that the exporter premia differ considerably across countries in identically specified empirical models. In a meta-analysis of their results the authors find that countries that are more open and have more effective government report higher productivity premia. However, the level of development per se does not appear to be an explanation for the observed cross-country differences.
