This book was released on 2008 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A strong investment climate is a platform for economic success. By creating opportunities and setting incentives for firms to invest and productively employ inputs, the investment climate is critical to economic growth and prosperity. Analyzing and comparing the investment climate of Brazil, India, and South Africa, three of today's largest emerging economies, this book presents policy makers with the scope of investment climate reforms in these countries. Inter- and intra-country benchmarking can be a starting point for dialogue between the government and private sector on reform priorities and help to encourage the sharing of best practices. Our hope is that this book will encourage and facilitate reform steps that can improve the investment climate in emerging economies.

Book Synopsis The Investment Climate in Brazil, India, and South Africa by : Andrew Beath
Download or read book The Investment Climate in Brazil, India, and South Africa written by Andrew Beath and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This analysis demonstrates that Brazil, India, and South Africa are far from reaching their full economic potential. In all three countries, aspects of the investment climate which could be improved through reform constrain firms, resulting in lower levels of investment, misallocation of factor inputs, and disincentives to engage in innovation and employee training. In Brazil and India, in particular, changes to tax policy and regulation and improvements in physical infrastructure and public administration will, with a good probability, result in heightened firm-level productivity, increased investment, and higher levels of economic growth. South Africa, meanwhile, has achieved mostly favorable tax and regulatory policies. Firms nevertheless continue to face constraints due to the high cost of skilled labor, the high level of criminal activity, and uncertainty concerning the value of the exchange rate. The nature of the investment climate in Brazil, India, and South Africa is significantly different in each case and, as such, there is substantial scope for learning between the three countries. Taxation in Brazil, for instance, is extremely burdensome, both in administrative and financial terms, a fact that has stemmed from the rigid revenue needs of central and state government. South Africa's experience, where tax revenue was dramatically increased even as tax rates were reduced, is instructive for Brazil. The experience of Brazil in reforming bankruptcy procedures could be instructive to India. Similarly, Brazil and India have much to learn from South Africa in areas of public administration, in improving access to finance and upgrading the quality of physical infrastructure, and in reducing the burden of regulation governing market entry, exit, and the employment of labor. In a number of areas, India has much to impart to Brazil and South Africa. Skilled labor in India is both readily available, which it isn't in Brazil, and relatively inexpensive, which it certainly isn't in South Africa. The stability of India's exchange rate contrasts sharply with the volatility of those of Brazil and South Africa, which again provides another area for mutual learning and assistance. While there is scope for learning from each other, all three countries can also learn from themselves. In Brazil and India, in particular, substantial differences exist between regions in different aspects of the investment climate. In a large share of cases, substantial improvements in the overall investment climate would be observed if all of the states within a country mimicked the policies and performance of the best domestic performer in each category. Thus, while it is important for countries to benchmark themselves against regional and global competitors and set targets accordingly, it is important for them to also look inward and to encourage state and municipal authorities to adopt reforms that have worked particularly well in specific parts of the country.

This book was released on 2007-05-10 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most aspects of South Africa's investment climate the location-specific factors that shape opportunities and incentives for firms to invest productively, create jobs, and grow are favorable. The majority of large, registered firms believe that the legal system is able to protect their property rights. Infrastructure is reliable. Tax rates are relatively low. The burden of regulation is comparable to other middle-income countrries. Few firms pay bribes. And most firms have adequate access to credit. In many dimensions, South Africa has a good investment climate. Consistent with this, large South African firms are very productive. Labor productivity is far higher than in the most productive low-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and compares favorably with other middle-income countries such as Brazil, Lithuania, Malaysia, and Poland. And although labor productivity in South Africa is slightly lower than in the most productive cities in China, it is over three times higher than in China as a whole. So, why hasn't South Africa been growing faster? As this title explores, while the investment climate is generally favorable, some problems remain. Firms appear to be particularly concerned about four areas: difficulty hiring skilled and educated workers, rigid labor regulations, exchange rate instability, and crime. Using rigorous statistical information on these and related topics, the book aims to assist policy makers and private sector stakeholders in developing reforms that will improve firm performance and growth.

Book Synopsis Caste, Class, and Capital by : Kanta Murali
Download or read book Caste, Class, and Capital written by Kanta Murali and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-02 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For millions of poor people in the developing world, economic growth offers prospects for improved well-being. But what are the political and social conditions conducive to growth-oriented policies in poor democracies? This book addresses this highly consequential question by focusing on a specific empirical puzzle - policy variation across Indian states in the competition for private industrial investment, a phenomenon that came to the fore after the country adopted market reforms in 1991. Through the analysis of investment policies, this book offers a novel explanation, which links social identity, class, and economic policy outcomes. Its main findings highlight a link between pro-business policies and exclusionary political trends in India's high growth phase, and offer a sobering perspective on the current model of growth in the country. The book adds to our understanding of Indian political economy as well as to the dynamics of economic development in poor democracies.

Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, politics in India has moved steadily in a pro-business direction. This shift has important implications for both government and citizens. In Business and Politics in India, leading scholars of Indian politics have gathered to offer an analytical synthesis of this vast topic. Collectively, they cover the many strategies that businesses have used to exert their newfound power in recent times and organize the book around a few central concerns. They first analyze the nature of business power and how it shapes political change in India. Second, they look at the consequences of business' growing power on some important issue areas-labor, land, urban governance, and the media. Finally, they take account of regional variation and analyze state-business relations. This definitive account offers significant insights into how and why corporations have increased their power in contemporary Indian politics.
Book Synopsis Investment Climate Reforms by : World Bank World Bank
Download or read book Investment Climate Reforms written by World Bank World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private firms are at the forefront of the development process, providing more than 90 percent of jobs, supplying goods and services, and representing a significant source of tax revenues. Their ability to grow, create jobs, and reduce poverty depends critically on a well-functioning investment climate--defined as the policy, legal, and institutional arrangements underpinning the functioning of markets and the level of transaction costs and risks associated with starting, operating, and closing a business. The World Bank Group has provided extensive support to investment climate reforms. This evaluation by the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) assesses the relevance, effectiveness, and social value of World Bank Group support to investment climate reforms as it relates to concerns for inclusion and shared prosperity. IEG finds that the World Bank Group has supported a comprehensive menu of investment climate reforms and has improved investment climate in countries, as measured by number of laws enacted, streamlining of processes and time, or simple cost savings for private firms. However, the impact on investment, jobs, business formation, and growth is not straightforward. Regulatory reforms need to be designed and implemented with both economic and social costs and benefits in mind; IEG found that, in practice, World Bank Group support focuses predominantly on reducing costs to businesses. In supporting investment climate reforms, the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation use two distinct but complementary business models. Despite the fact that investment climate is the most integrated business unit in the World Bank Group, coordination is mostly informal, relying mainly on personal contacts. IEG recommends that the World Bank Group expand its range of diagnostic tools and integrate them in the areas of the business environment not yet covered by existing tools; develop an approach to identify the social effects of regulatory reforms on all groups expected to be affected by them beyond the business community; and exploit synergies by ensuring that World Bank and IFC staff improve their understanding of each other's work and business models.
