Download or read book Accelerated Economic Growth in West Africa written by Diery Seck and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a detailed analysis of the causes of West Africa’s current economic high-growth episode and proposes ways to extend it sustainably. It examines the potential role of regional integration through the establishment of a common currency union and of other policy options that can enhance economic growth. The authors suggest appropriate methods of coordination between macroeconomic policy and industrialization to achieve higher economic growth and also examine why pro-poor strategies have not been successful. The book underscores the challenges and opportunities that will arise from the structural change to the region’s economies resulting from the necessary investment in manufacturing exports, ICT and infrastructure, which are key vehicles for extended growth. Readers will learn how the region can better reach its developmental goals by securing and perpetuating political liberty and transactional freedom for all its citizens.
Book Synopsis Sustaining and Accelerating Pro-Poor Growth in Africa by : Mr.Kevin Joseph Carey
Download or read book Sustaining and Accelerating Pro-Poor Growth in Africa written by Mr.Kevin Joseph Carey and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2006-02-28 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growth in sub-Saharan Africa has recently shown signs of improvement, but is still short of levels needed to attain the Millennium Development Goals. Economists have placed increasing emphasis on understanding the policies that promote sustained jumps in medium-term growth, and the paper applies this approach to African countries. The evidence presented finds an important growth-supporting role for particular kinds of institutions and policies, but also highlights aspects of growth that are still not well understood. The paper includes policy guidance for ensuring that the poor benefit from growth.
Book Synopsis The Economic Development of West Africa in the Twenty-First Century by : Germinal G Van
Download or read book The Economic Development of West Africa in the Twenty-First Century written by Germinal G Van and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Economic Development of West Africa in the Twenty-First Century is a book of economic theory that seeks to explain empirically how West African nations can develop their respective economies in order to not only increase the living standard of their population but to also stimulate a regional economic growth. The book subsequently presents the introduction of a new economic model to determine how economic growth could potentially occur in West Africa on a long-term basis. To demonstrate his analysis, the author has combined the elements of public choice theory, which emphasize on the political features of an economy and those of the Solow Growth Model, which focus on generating economic productivity. The combination of the elements of these two economic tools is designed to determine, not the outcome, but the process whereby economic growth in West Africa could be stimulated in a long-time period.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Human Capital on Growth by : Ms.Sonia Brunschwig
Download or read book The Impact of Human Capital on Growth written by Ms.Sonia Brunschwig and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1998-11-01 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the impact of human capital on growth, on the basis of refined calculations of human capital, and with a focus on West Africa. Using a growth-accounting methodology, it distinguishes the sources of growth between the accumulation of factors of production and changes in production intensity or efficiency. Private capital is found to be particularly important to growth, but human capital appears not to be significant. The paper also identifies the terms of trade, trade openness, the government deficit, and the share of government investment in total investment as key policy variables affecting growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a detailed analysis of the nature and determinants of finance and trade and their relationship with Africa’s competitiveness. Investment is examined in its various forms (financial vs. physical), and sources (private, public, domestic and FDI), as well as its relation to the size of domestic markets and export potential. The dimensions of trade related to financial development, trade costs, development of value chains and regional integration are also studied. The capacity of finance and investment to boost Africa’s competitiveness is assessed to inform continent-wide economic policy.
Book Synopsis Private Sector Development in West Africa by : Diery Seck
Download or read book Private Sector Development in West Africa written by Diery Seck and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines key determinants of private sector development in West Africa, putting special emphasis on government’s cardinal role in fostering and supporting entrepreneurship. Favorable macroeconomic conditions are identified and it is shown that adequate policies that contribute to economic diversification and industrialization are likely to expand the investment base of the economy. The book also examines new business concepts and regional integration initiatives meant to enhance West Africa’s private sector and analyzes the role of finance in promoting development of private firms and the extent to which corruption impedes economic growth. All chapters are highly relevant to West Africa’s current policy challenges and therefore inform the region’s ongoing policy formulation. The empirical evidence supporting the policy recommendations is based on both qualitative field observations and advanced quantitative estimation techniques.
Book Synopsis Economic Diversification and Growth in Africa by : Omotunde E. G. Johnson
Download or read book Economic Diversification and Growth in Africa written by Omotunde E. G. Johnson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-18 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a coherent framework for assessing economic policy making in developing countries, with special reference to those in Africa. The chapters focus on policy making issues in three critical areas that are of major importance in the African context: capacity building for domestic resource mobilization; regional integration in Africa and intra-regional trade; and export diversification of individual African countries. Although applying economic theory as well as using case studies and empirical evidence from the economics literature, the book is written in a way that makes the core ideas accessible even to readers without advanced knowledge of the technical economics involved. Economic Diversification and Growth in Africa is a timely study which demonstrates how developing countries in Africa can improve their policy making strategies to diversify their economies and accelerate economic development.
Book Synopsis Growth and Development in West Africa by : Koffi Simeon K
Download or read book Growth and Development in West Africa written by Koffi Simeon K and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-09 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central theme of this book "Growth and Development in West Africa" may seem commonplace and pedestrian because it has been widely studied and debated. However, the subject remains relevant because of the complex and ambiguous nature of the concepts of growth and development. Past analyses of the themes in general focused more on the economic factors with a special emphasis on macro-economic data. Yet in developing countries like those in West Africa, data on macro-economic indicators are rare, deficient and often, of poor quality. Even when they exist and are of good quality, they are not sufficient to explain the determinants of growth and development in the region. That is the reason why this book proposes a new reading grid focusing on a multidisciplinary approach that holistically involves economic, environmental, social and political factors. The analysis of the sources of growth and development through the combination of these various factors constitutes the major plank of this work. By focusing on these factors, this book highlights some of the fundamental needs of the structural transformation of the West African economies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the time has come for a new society to make inroads in developing better and sustained living standards for its mass people, its unique creation and growth of its wealth, and its prominent impact upon humanity, it has to go beyond and push the boundaries—and this leads to creating a distinct and an efficient society. It is properly understood that no earthly and heavenly power can deny a people’s aspiration whose time has come to formulate bona fide solutions for their chronic challenges, long-lasting crises, and for a better extension of humanity in this moment, and the time to come. The future has arrived. For the purpose of West Africa to be realized and fulfilled, West Africa needs to unite into a sovereign state with a federal republic government to create a distinct and an efficient federal nation inside West Africa called the African States Union (ASU). The ASU would have the capacity to undertake huge and complex tasks—the institution of this new democratization of economic development. This concept is to build diversified economic educational tropolis (edu-tropolis) in every designated school district with a university. Most of the universities will be super universities designed as the epicenter of the local economic free zone. The institution of the edu-tropolis will be a remarkable help to accelerate the modernization of infrastructure in the new ASU federal community, such as the initiative of wiring the entire new ASU federal society for high-speed Internet access and building the complex modern transportation infrastructure, the high-speed rails that crisscross between the edu-tropolis economic school district hubs in the entire new nation. The introduction of the twenty-first-century democratic system, the century’s monoparty democratic system, would transform the African political landscape. Here are some of the basic principles: (1) no political party formation, (2) all political candidates register and campaign for public office solely under their respective individual names, (3) legally institute a fourth branch of government, the electoral branch of government. The essential role of linguistic diversity in engineering the wealth of the new West African society is the introduction of the new twenty-first-century multilinguistic ideas and policies. Set up a commission with the clear mission of creating a federal republic in West Africa through a peaceful, timely, and smooth process.

Offering both a long-term approach and country-specific analysis, the report recommends learning from history and from diverse experiences to guide countries' growth.

Download or read book West Africa's Political Economy in the Next Millennium written by Adebayo O. Olukoshi and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2001 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise study examining the various trends and structural factors in the contemnporary political economy of West Africa, assessing how they will affect the needs and capabilities of the sub-region's countries to achieve a more rapid system of democratic government and respond to the demands of globalisation. It provides an overview of the area's development issues, including the prospects for regional co-operation/integration, the important geo-political and economic role played by France in West Africa, changing forms of popular identity, and Islam and its growing influence. It argues that in this age of intensifying globalisation, West Africa's future centres around the choice between the pursuit of national strategies, and closer regional co-operation, the political will not withstanding.
