Download or read book Now or Later? The Political Economy of Public Investment in Democracies written by Mr.Sanjeev Gupta and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the impact of political and institutional variables on public investment. Working with a sample of 80 presidential and parliamentary democracies between 1975 and 2012, we find that the rate of growth of public investment is higher at the beginning of electoral cycles and decelerates thereafter. The peak in public investment growth occurs between 21 and 25 months before elections. Cabinet ideology and government fragmentation influence the size of investment booms. More parties in government are associated with smaller increases in public investment while left-wing cabinets are associated with higher sustained increases in investment. Stronger institutions help attenuate the impact of elections on investment, but available information is insufficient to draw definitive conclusions.

Book Synopsis The Political Economy of the Investment Treaty Regime by : Jonathan Bonnitcha
Download or read book The Political Economy of the Investment Treaty Regime written by Jonathan Bonnitcha and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investment treaties are some of the most controversial but least understood instruments of global economic governance. Public interest in international investment arbitration is growing and some developed and developing countries are beginning to revisit their investment treaty policies. The Political Economy of the Investment Treaty Regime synthesises and advances the growing literature on this subject by integrating legal, economic, and political perspectives. Based on an analysis of the substantive and procedural rights conferred by investment treaties, it asks four basic questions. What are the costs and benefits of investment treaties for investors, states, and other stakeholders? Why did developed and developing countries sign the treaties? Why should private arbitrators be allowed to review public regulations passed by states? And what is the relationship between the investment treaty regime and the broader regime complex that governs international investment? Through a concise, but comprehensive, analysis, this book fills in some of the many "blind spots" of academics from different disciplines, and is the first port of call for lawyers, investors, policy-makers, and stakeholders trying to make sense of these critical instruments governing investor-state relations.

Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Public Investments in Brazil by : Marcus Andre Melo

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brazil's under-performance in the area of infrastructure is widely recognized by policymakers and country experts. By virtually any metric the country performs poorly in comparison to other countries in the same level of development (Velloso et al 2013). Along with education, deficient infrastructure puts a drag on productivity and is consequently a major impediment to growth. While there is virtual consensus on the need to upgrade the country's infrastructure and no shortages of diagnoses of the current status of the country infrastructure, there is little understanding of the political economy of the investments in the sector. The consensus led to the prioritizing of infrastructure in the government agenda and the launching of the Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento (PAC) - a massive multiyear program costing some USD 0.6 trillion -, which has been characterized by serious managerial issues and tainted by corruption scandals. This report explores the political and institutional constraints holding back investments in infrastructure and the political and institutional factors explaining sub-optimal and socially inefficient outcomes in the implementation of public investment programs.Rather than simply recognizing that poor infrastructure is an important constraint to economic growth and productivity, this paper focuses on why the political choices arose and persist that led to this state of affairs and even now refrain from the obvious solution of investing more in infrastructure. By factoring into the analysis the political and institutional dynamics, it is possible to identify which interest groups are affected by policy regarding infrastructure and which are the political actors involved in making those choices. By focusing on the preferences and relative powers of these groups and actors, as well as on the nature of their interaction, all of which are determined by political institutions, a clearer picture emerges of the determinants of policy choices and outcomes that emphasizes the trade-offs, restrictions and inter dependencies with other policy areas which are crucial given the 'general equilibrium' nature of those choices.
Book Synopsis Rents to Riches? by : Naazneen Barma
Download or read book Rents to Riches? written by Naazneen Barma and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2011-12-08 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the political economy surrounding the detailed decisions that governments make at each step of the value chain for natural resource management. From the perspective of public interest or good governance, many resource-dependent developing countries pursue apparently short-sighted and sub-optimal policies in relation to the extraction and capture of resource rents, and to spending and savings from their resource endowments. This work contextualizes these micro-level choices and outcomes.

Download or read book Golden Rule written by Thomas Ferguson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1995-06-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To discover who rules, follow the gold." This is the argument of Golden Rule, a provocative, pungent history of modern American politics. Although the role big money plays in defining political outcomes has long been obvious to ordinary Americans, most pundits and scholars have virtually dismissed this assumption. Even in light of skyrocketing campaign costs, the belief that major financial interests primarily determine who parties nominate and where they stand on the issues—that, in effect, Democrats and Republicans are merely the left and right wings of the "Property Party"—has been ignored by most political scientists. Offering evidence ranging from the nineteenth century to the 1994 mid-term elections, Golden Rule shows that voters are "right on the money." Thomas Ferguson breaks completely with traditional voter centered accounts of party politics. In its place he outlines an "investment approach," in which powerful investors, not unorganized voters, dominate campaigns and elections. Because businesses "invest" in political parties and their candidates, changes in industrial structures—between large firms and sectors—can alter the agenda of party politics and the shape of public policy. Golden Rule presents revised versions of widely read essays in which Ferguson advanced and tested his theory, including his seminal study of the role played by capital intensive multinationals and international financiers in the New Deal. The chapter "Studies in Money Driven Politics" brings this aspect of American politics into better focus, along with other studies of Federal Reserve policy making and campaign finance in the 1936 election. Ferguson analyzes how a changing world economy and other social developments broke up the New Deal system in our own time, through careful studies of the 1988 and 1992 elections. The essay on 1992 contains an extended analysis of the emergence of the Clinton coalition and Ross Perot's dramatic independent insurgency. A postscript on the 1994 elections demonstrates the controlling impact of money on several key campaigns. This controversial work by a theorist of money and politics in the U.S. relates to issues in campaign finance reform, PACs, policymaking, public financing, and how today's elections work.
Book Synopsis The Macroeconomic Effects of Public Investment by : Mr.Abdul Abiad
Download or read book The Macroeconomic Effects of Public Investment written by Mr.Abdul Abiad and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-05-04 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides new evidence of the macroeconomic effects of public investment in advanced economies. Using public investment forecast errors to identify the causal effect of government investment in a sample of 17 OECD economies since 1985 and model simulations, the paper finds that increased public investment raises output, both in the short term and in the long term, crowds in private investment, and reduces unemployment. Several factors shape the macroeconomic effects of public investment. When there is economic slack and monetary accommodation, demand effects are stronger, and the public-debt-to-GDP ratio may actually decline. Public investment is also more effective in boosting output in countries with higher public investment efficiency and when it is financed by issuing debt.
