The decline of oil prices between summer 2014 and fall 2015 underscores the urgency for the Gulf Falcons to diversify away from their current heavy reliance on oil exports. This book discusses attempts at diversification in the Middle East and North Africa and the complex choices policymakers face. It brings together the views of academics and policymakers to offer practical advice for future efforts to increase productivity growth.BooksDiversification in industryPersian Gulf RegionDiversification in industryInvestments: EnergyimfExports and ImportsimfMacroeconomicsimfProduction and Operations ManagementimfFinance: GeneralimfMacroeconomics: ProductionimfEducation: GeneralimfLabor Economics: GeneralimfEnergy: GeneralimfTrade: GeneralimfGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)imfInnovationimfResearch and DevelopmentimfTechnological ChangeimfIntellectual Property Rights: GeneralimfLabourimfincome economicsimfEducationimfInvestment & securitiesimfFinanceimfInternational economicsimfTechnologyimfgeneral issuesimfProductivityimfLaborimfOilimfExportsimfProductionimfCommoditiesimfInternational tradeimfManufacturingimfEconomic sectorsimfIndustrial productivityimfLabor economicsimfPetroleum industry and tradeimfManufacturing industriesimfGeneral issuesimfIncome economicsimfPersian Gulf RegionEconomic policyDeveloping countriesEconomic policyMalaysiaimfDiversification in industryDiversification in industry.Investments: EnergyExports and ImportsMacroeconomicsProduction and Operations ManagementFinance: GeneralMacroeconomics: ProductionEducation: GeneralLabor Economics: GeneralEnergy: GeneralTrade: GeneralGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)InnovationResearch and DevelopmentTechnological ChangeIntellectual Property Rights: GeneralLabourincome economicsEducationInvestment & securitiesFinanceInternational economicsTechnologygeneral issuesProductivityLaborOilExportsProductionCommoditiesInternational tradeManufacturingEconomic sectorsIndustrial productivityLabor economicsPetroleum industry and tradeManufacturing industriesGeneral issuesIncome economics338.9536Cherif Reda1815744Hasanov Fuad1595841Zhu Min825169DcWaIMFBOOK9910956453903321Breaking the Oil Spell4372015UNINA
