Book Synopsis Exploring Lebanon's Growth Prospects by : Charbel Nahas
Download or read book Exploring Lebanon's Growth Prospects written by Charbel Nahas and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This paper attempts to identify Lebanon's greatest constraints to economic growth, following a growth diagnosis approach. It concludes that fiscal imbalances and barriers to entry are most binding on long-term growth. Macroeconomic imbalances and related perceived risks affect the nature of investment decisions in Lebanon, in favor of liquid instruments rather than longer-term productive investments. Further, many barriers to entry discourage agents from investing in a number of markets: legal impediments to competition, corruption, and a set of fiscal incentives favoring the allocation of resources to non-tradable sectors, where potential demand and investment opportunities are scarcer. In turn, using a steady-state computable general equilibrium model, the paper assesses the long-term growth impact of a selected set of policy reforms envisaged to lift such constraints. Results suggest that 1 to 2 percentage points of additional GDP growth per year could be gained through public expenditure reform, greater domestic competition, and tax harmonization.

Book excerpt: This policy note reviews the current determinants of gross domestic product growth in Lebanon, and proposes a strategy to accelerate such growth in the years to come. Emigration and macro-economic trends will require urgent attention to foster growth. In the absence of job opportunities, half of each Lebanese generation eventually emigrates while another fourth stays idle. Lebanon's active population is aging, its human capital is eroding, and its resident population is aging. To reverse these trends, growth needs to be accelerated to meet Lebanese economic expectations. Reviewing various possible constraints, the note concludes that fiscal imbalances and barriers to entry are most binding to economic growth. A pro-growth strategy could be articulated around fiscal stabilization and reducing barriers to investment. If synonymous with structural reforms in the pension, civil service and energy sectors, fiscal stabilization could even bring significant growth rewards, which are estimated at 0.4-0.5 percentage points of additional real GDP growth per year.
Book Synopsis The Future of Petroleum in Lebanon by : Sami Atallah
Download or read book The Future of Petroleum in Lebanon written by Sami Atallah and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the future of the oil and gas sector in Lebanon? Following the recent discovery of these valuable resources in the southern Mediterranean, including in the Cypriot and Israeli offshore reserves, the possibility of Lebanon also becoming a petroleum-producing country has been raised. This collection of essays addresses the major challenges and opportunities that accompany the country's hope to join the petroleum club. Covering the key policy issues - from Lebanon's susceptibility to the oil curse, to the environmental risks of production - this book brings together expert analysis to offer answers at the institutional level. Of central importance, the contributors argue, is that for Lebanon to benefit from the discovery of petroleum, it must first reform its institutions with the full support of the voting public and civil society. Combining rigorous quantitative and qualitative research, the Lebanese Center for Policy Studies has produced here an essential book that puts petroleum in Lebanon, and the important questions that come with it, within a global perspective.

Book Synopsis The Arab State and Neo-Liberal Globalization by : Laura Guazzone
Download or read book The Arab State and Neo-Liberal Globalization written by Laura Guazzone and published by Garnet Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2022-07-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in paperback, this collection of essays offers an alternative approach to the study of today's Arab states by focusing on their participation in neo-liberal globalization rather than on authoritarianism or Islam. The effects of the restructuring of traditional state power engendered by globalization are analyzed separately, through updated empirical research into the political, economic, and security processes of each country considered. Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia are the case studies selected to represent different paths towards a shared model of a 'new' Arab state which, far from representing an exceptional case of resilience against global trends, may be seen in many instances as typifying their effects. The book offers both an overall conceptualization of change affecting the Arab states, domestically and internationally, and a series of in-depth case studies by country and functional areas. It is extremely timely when viewed within the context of the current political unrest and unprecedented change within the Middle East. This paperback edition includes a new preface which links the author's research to the current Arab Spring crisis.
Book Synopsis Lebanon's Second Republic by : Kail C. Ellis

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wide range of seemingly intractable political, social, and economic situations affecting Lebanon's struggle to define itself and its future role in the Middle East are examined in this collection. Looking beyond concerns of politics and international relations, the contributors examine the critical course of Muslim-Christian relations, the educational system that will enable its citizens to play a significant role in economic development, the concerns of women, and urban and ecological crises. Seeking a more thorough understanding of both Lebanon's past and its future prospects, the book will be of value not only to specialists in the area but also to students of women's issues and to those concerned with the multi-dimensional aspects of Lebanon's future.
