Book Synopsis Do Caribbean Exporters Pay Higher Freight Costs? by : Alexander J. Yeats
Download or read book Do Caribbean Exporters Pay Higher Freight Costs? written by Alexander J. Yeats and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to analyze transportation costs incurred by Caribbean countries on their major export products to determine whether there is evidence of freight rate discrimination against these countries, or whether their transport costs are significantly different from those of other exporters. A key finding is that a distinction must be made between freight rates for air cargo services as opposed to ocean transport. For exports by ocean carriers the empirical evidence is quite different than that for air shipments. This study also finds that Caribbean exporters are more likely to experience adverse transport costs on food and agricultural raw materials than they are on manufactured goods where a relatively high percentage of shipments are by air. The report also suggests the following lines of analysis: how the Caribbean countries might best exploit the major cost advantage they have for products exported by air, why is ocean transport less cost efficient than air freight for Caribbean countries, and why do large adverse transport cost differentials appear to be concentrated in certain product groups like food and agricultural raw materials?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are a variety of crisis symptoms confronting the Commonwealth Caribbean as the 21st century dawns. Global changes are quickly rendering the region's traditional economic platform obsolete. This book suggests however that the expanding NAFTA or the hemispheric turn towards bloc formation can offer a way out for the Caribbean. Politics must be brought back into the regionalisation process, for each island government is witnessing the narrowing of the range of its state power by powerful TNCs, international financial institutions, Washington interests, and corporate-backed WTO commissions.

Book Synopsis The Information Technology Revolution and Economic Development by : Nagy Hanna
Download or read book The Information Technology Revolution and Economic Development written by Nagy Hanna and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1991 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information is a major development resource, joining the ranks with human, natural and financial resources. Therefore, development agencies must understand the role of information and information technologies (informatics) in the developing countries to respond to a rapidly evolving global environment. The ongoing information explosion in the industrialized economies contrasts sharply with the information poverty of developing countries. This poverty takes many forms, including poor information support for macroeconomic and sectoral policy formulation and implementation, limited access to information for rural populations, and isolation of researchers and professionals from international research findings and so on. Informatics applications offers new ways to make the most of the managerial and institutional resources of developing countries, with the most widespread benefits likely to come from applying it to priority sectors. Governments are recognizing their roles as information providers and users, facilitators of information technology diffusion, and providers of information and communication infrastructures, as well as their role in setting policies for informatics. During the 1990s the impact of information technology will be felt increasingly. Developing countries at all levels of development must stay abreast of the information revolution : they cannot afford to ignore this "second industrial revolution."
