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 modelsAggregate Human CapitalimfAggregate Labor ProductivityimfCivil service & public sectorimfCivil service reformimfCivil serviceimfEmploymentimfExpenditureimfFiscal PolicyimfForeign AidimfGovernment wage billimfIncome economicsimfIncomes PolicyimfIntergenerational Income DistributionimfLaborimfLabourimfNational Government Expenditures and Welfare ProgramsimfPrice PolicyimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic FinanceimfPublic Sector Labor MarketsimfPublic sector wagesimfUnemploymentimfWage adjustmentsimfWage DifferentialsimfWage Level and StructureimfWagesimfWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: GeneralimfGhanaimfWagesEconometric models.Labor policyEconometric models.Economic assistanceEconometric models.Aggregate Human CapitalAggregate Labor ProductivityCivil service & public sectorCivil service reformCivil serviceEmploymentExpenditureFiscal PolicyForeign AidGovernment wage billIncome economicsIncomes PolicyIntergenerational Income DistributionLaborLabourNational Government Expenditures and Welfare ProgramsPrice PolicyPublic finance & taxationPublic FinancePublic Sector Labor MarketsPublic sector wagesUnemploymentWage adjustmentsWage DifferentialsWage Level and StructureWagesWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: GeneralFedelino Annalisa1814497Schwartz Gerd1816019Verhoeven Marijn1816020International Monetary Fund.Fiscal Affairs Dept.DcWaIMFBOOK9910964531403321Aid Scaling Up4371664UNINA
