But what exactly do economists know and not know about growth? What direction should future research and policymaking take? This issue explores this topic, starting with a major World Bank study and research coming out of Harvard University that urges less reliance on simple formulas and the elusive search for best practices, and greater reliance on deeper economic analysis to identify each country's binding constraint(s) on growth. Other articles highlight IMF research on pinpointing effective levers for growth in developing countries and Africa's experience with growth accelerations. Also in the issue are pieces examining global economic imbalances, rapid credit growth in Eastern and Central Europe, and ways to boost productivity growth in Europe and Japan. In Straight Talk, Raghuram Rajan argues that if we want microfinance to become more than a fad, it has to follow the clear and unsentimental path of adding value and making money. Asian Development bank's Haruhiko Kuroda sets out his vision for a new financial architecture in Asia. Finally, Picture This takes an in-depth look at global employment trends.Finance & Development; Finance & Development ;No. 0043/001Exports and ImportsimfInvestments: GeneralimfLaborimfMacroeconomicsimfMoney and Monetary PolicyimfPublic FinanceimfGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)imfTrade PolicyimfInternational Trade OrganizationsimfMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralimfInvestmentimfCapitalimfIntangible CapitalimfCapacityimfEducation: GeneralimfMacroeconomics: ProductionimfFinanceimfLabourimfincome economicsimfMonetary economicsimfInternational economicsimfEducationimfCustoms administration core functionsimfCreditimfProductivityimfWagesimfMoneyimfRevenue administrationimfProductionimfPersonal incomeimfNational accountsimfSaving and investmentimfPovertyimfCustoms administrationimfIndustrial productivityimfUnited StatesimfExports and ImportsInvestments: GeneralLaborMacroeconomicsMoney and Monetary PolicyPublic FinanceGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)Trade PolicyInternational Trade OrganizationsMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralInvestmentCapitalIntangible CapitalCapacityEducation: GeneralMacroeconomics: ProductionFinanceLabourincome economicsMonetary economicsInternational economicsEducationCustoms administration core functionsCreditProductivityWagesMoneyRevenue administrationProductionPersonal incomeNational accountsSaving and investmentPovertyCustoms administrationIndustrial productivityInternational Monetary FundDcWaIMFBOOK9910823362703321Finance & Development, March 20063977558UNINA
