IMPROVING WAGE BILL CONDITIONALITY""; ""REFERENCES""This paper assesses whether the scaling up of aid and the resulting increase in government spending that is needed to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) would be hampered by wage bill ceilings that are often part of government programs supported by the IMF's Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF). Based on country case studies for 2003-05, the paper suggests that, in the past, wage bill ceilings have not restricted the use of available donor funds. Yet the paper offers a number of suggestions for further enhancing the flexibility of wage bill conditionality in PRGF-supported programs to respond to higher aid flows that may result in the future.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/106WagesEconometric modelsLabor policyEconometric modelsEconomic assistanceEconometric modelsLaborimfPublic FinanceimfFiscal PolicyimfForeign AidimfNational Government Expenditures and Welfare ProgramsimfWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: GeneralimfWage Level and StructureimfWage DifferentialsimfPublic Sector Labor MarketsimfEmploymentimfUnemploymentimfWagesimfIntergenerational Income DistributionimfAggregate Human CapitalimfAggregate Labor ProductivityimfIncomes PolicyimfPrice PolicyimfLabourimfincome economicsimfCivil service & public sectorimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic sector wagesimfWage adjustmentsimfCivil service reformimfGovernment wage billimfExpenditureimfCivil serviceimfGhanaimfWagesEconometric models.Labor policyEconometric models.Economic assistanceEconometric models.LaborPublic FinanceFiscal PolicyForeign AidNational Government Expenditures and Welfare ProgramsWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: GeneralWage Level and StructureWage DifferentialsPublic Sector Labor MarketsEmploymentUnemploymentWagesIntergenerational Income DistributionAggregate Human CapitalAggregate Labor ProductivityIncomes PolicyPrice PolicyLabourincome economicsCivil service & public sectorPublic finance & taxationPublic sector wagesWage adjustmentsCivil service reformGovernment wage billExpenditureCivil serviceFedelino Annalisa1472674Schwartz Gerd1574041Verhoeven Marijn1574042International Monetary Fund.Fiscal Affairs Dept.DcWaIMFBOOK9910788408703321Aid Scaling Up3850058UNINA
