Book Synopsis Licensed larceny by : Nicholas Hildyard
Download or read book Licensed larceny written by Nicholas Hildyard and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing wealth gap is best viewed as a proxy for how for how effectively elites have constructed institutions that extract value from the rest of society. For inequality is not just a problem of poverty and the poor; it is as much a problem of wealth and the rich. The provision of public services is one area which is increasingly being reconfigured to extract wealth upward to the one per cent, notably through so-called Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). The push for PPPs is not about building infrastructure for the benefit of society but about constructing new subsidies that benefit the already wealthy. It is less about financing development than developing finance. Understanding and exposing these processes is essential if inequality is to be challenged. But equally important is the need for critical reflection on how the wealthy are getting away with it. What does the wealth gap suggest about the need for new forms of organizing by those who would resist elite power?
Book Synopsis Le secteur des industries extractives by : Håvard Halland
Download or read book Le secteur des industries extractives written by Håvard Halland and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le secteur des industries extractives (IE) occupe une place démesurée dans les économies de nombreux pays en développement. Les économistes et les spécialistes des finances publiques qui y travaillent sont fréquemment confrontés à des problèmes qui requièrent une connaissance approfondie du secteur, de son économie, de sa gouvernance, de ses enjeux stratégiques, et une idée précise de ce que la richesse en ressources naturelles suppose en termes de gestion du budget et des finances publiques. L’ouvrage en trois volumes Points essentiels à l’intention des économistes et des spécialistes des finances publiques, publié dans la série des Études de la Banque mondiale, a pour objet de donner un bref aperçu des problèmes associés aux IE que ces spécialistes sont susceptibles de rencontrer. Ce premier volume, Le secteur des industries extractives, dresse une synthèse des aspects fondamentaux de l’économie des IE, analyse les principales composantes des cadres stratégiques, institutionnels et de gouvernance du secteur, et définit les obligations de financement du secteur public dans ce domaine. Son analyse des aspects économiques des IE couvre l’évaluation des gisements de sous-sol, l’interprétation économique donnée au minerai, et la structure des marchés de l’énergie et des produits minéraux. Il définit les responsabilités des entités publiques compétentes, et présente les caractéristiques des cadres juridique et réglementaire du secteur. Il analyse brièvement ses fonctions essentielles et particulières, ainsi que les structures financières qui soutiennent les mesures de sauvegarde environnementale et sociale, l’investissement des recettes publiques provenant de l’exploitation des ressources pétrolières, gazières ou minières, et la diversification économique à partir des industries extractives. Les auteurs espèrent que les économistes et les spécialistes des finances publiques qui travaillent dans les pays riches en ressources naturelles †“ y compris les décideurs au sein des ministères des finances, des organisations internationales, et autres entités compétentes — jugeront cet ouvrage utile à leur compréhension et à leur analyse du secteur des IE.
Book Synopsis El sector de las industrias extractivas by : Håvard Halland
Download or read book El sector de las industrias extractivas written by Håvard Halland and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El sector de las industrias extractivas (IE) ocupa un lugar considerable en las economías de muchos países en desarrollo. Los economistas y los profesionales de las finanzas públicas que trabajan en estos países suelen enfrentarse a problemas que exigen un entendimiento profundo del sector, su economía, su buen gobierno y los desafíos en materia de políticas, así como a las consecuencias de la abundancia de recursos naturales para la gestión fiscal y de las finanzas públicas. El objetivo del estudio de tres volúmenes denominado Essentials for Economists and Public Finance Professionals, publicado en la serie de estudios realizados por el Banco Mundial, es presentar un panorama general conciso de los temas relacionados con las IE que estos profesionales probablemente deban encarar. En el primer volumen, "The Extractive Industries Sector", se ofrece una reseña general de las cuestiones fundamentales para la economía de las IE; se analizan los componentes principales del buen gobierno, las políticas y los marcos institucionales del sector, y se identifican las obligaciones de financiamiento del sector público relacionadas con las IE. El análisis de la economía de las IE abarca la valuación de los activos subterráneos, la interpretación económica del mineral y la estructura de los mercados de la energía y los minerales. En este volumen se determinan las responsabilidades de las entidades gubernamentales correspondientes y se describen las características de los marcos jurídicos y normativos del sector de las IE. Se analizan brevemente las funciones clave y específicas del sector, además de las estructuras financieras que sustentan las salvaguardas ambientales y sociales; la inversión de los ingresos públicos provenientes del petróleo, el gas o los minerales, así como la diversificación económica basada en las industrias extractivas. Los autores esperan que este volumen resulte de utilidad a los economistas y los profesionales de las finanzas públicas que trabajan en países ricos en recursos (incluidos los encargados de la toma de decisiones en ministerios de finanzas, organizaciones internacionales y otras entidades relevantes) para la comprensión y el análisis del sector de las IE.
Book Synopsis Funding and Financing Transport Infrastructure by : Athena Roumboutsos
Download or read book Funding and Financing Transport Infrastructure written by Athena Roumboutsos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to enhance understanding of the impacts of project setup and its implementation environment on project performance by leveraging information from the study of a rich set of European transport infrastructure project cases. It puts forward a system’s view of project delivery and aims to serve as a strategic tool for decision makers and practitioners. The proposed approach is not limited to specific stakeholder views. On the contrary, it allows stakeholders to formulate their own strategies based on an holistic set of potential implementation scenarios. Furthermore, by including cases of projects that have been influenced by the recent financial crisis, the book aims to capitalise on experiences and provide guidelines as to the design and implementation of resilient projects delivered both through traditional as well as Public Private Partnership (PPP) models. Finally, the book proposes a new Transport Infrastructure Resilience Indicator and a corresponding project rating system that can be assessed with an eye to the future, ultimately aiming to support the successful delivery of transport infrastructure projects for all stakeholders involved.

Book Synopsis From Global Savings Glut to Financing Infrastructure by : Mr.Rabah Arezki
Download or read book From Global Savings Glut to Financing Infrastructure written by Mr.Rabah Arezki and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2016-02-09 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the emerging global landscape for public-private co-investments in infrastructure. The creation of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and other so-called “infrastructure investment platforms” are an attempt to tap into the pool of both public and private long-term savings in order to channel the latter into much needed infrastructure projects. This paper puts these new initiatives into perspective by critically reviewing the literature and experience with public private partnerships in infrastructure. It concludes by identifying the main challenges policy makers and other actors will need to confront going forward and to turn infrastructure into an asset class of its own.
Book Synopsis The Rise, the Fall, and ... the Emerging Recovery of Project Finance in Transport by : Antonio Estache
Download or read book The Rise, the Fall, and ... the Emerging Recovery of Project Finance in Transport written by Antonio Estache and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2000 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many transport projects undertaken during the boom period of the 1990s came to a crashing halt in 1997, and conditions in emerging markets worsened in 1998 and 1999. Many projects failed, victim of everything from overoptimistic forecasts to excessive debt to an inability to refinance bridge loans. As available financing dried up, many projects went bankrupt, had to be renegotiated, or were taken over by the government. What have we learned from all this?

Download or read book World Development Report 1994 written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1994 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Development Report 1994 examines the link between infrastructure and development and explores ways in which developing countries can improve both the provision and the quality of infrastructure services. In recent decades, developing countries have made substantial investments in infrastructure, achieving dramatic gains for households and producers by expanding their access to services such as safe water, sanitation, electric power, telecommunications, and transport. Even more infrastructure investment and expansion are needed in order to extend the reach of services - especially to people living in rural areas and to the poor. But as this report shows, the quantity of investment cannot be the exclusive focus of policy. Improving the quality of infrastructure service also is vital. Both quantity and quality improvements are essential to modernize and diversify production, help countries compete internationally, and accommodate rapid urbanization. The report identifies the basic cause of poor past performance as inadequate institutional incentives for improving the provision of infrastructure. To promote more efficient and responsive service delivery, incentives need to be changed through commercial management, competition, and user involvement. Several trends are helping to improve the performance of infrastructure. First, innovation in technology and in the regulatory management of markets makes more diversity possible in the supply of services. Second, an evaluation of the role of government is leading to a shift from direct government provision of services to increasing private sector provision and recent experience in many countries with public-private partnerships is highlighting new ways to increase efficiency and expand services. Third, increased concern about social and environmental sustainability has heightened public interest in infrastructure design and performance.
