Welfare gains from indexed Aid; References; ReferencesForeign aid flows to poor, aid-dependent economies are highly volatile and pro-cyclical. Shortfalls in aid coincide with shortfalls in GDP and government revenues. This increases the consumption volatility in aid dependent countries, thereby causing substantial welfare losses. This paper finds that indexing aid flows to exogenous shocks like a change in the terms of trade can significantly improve the welfare of aid-dependent country by lowering its output and consumption volatility. Compared to the benchmark specification with stochastic aid flows, indexation of aid flows to terms of trade shocks can reduce the cost of business cycle fluctuations in the recipient country by four percent of permanent consumption. Moreover, use of indexed aid can allow donors to reduce the aid flows by three percent without lowering the level of welfare in the recipient country.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2008/101Economic assistanceDeveloping countriesEconometric modelsEconomic developmentDeveloping countriesEconometric modelsBusiness cyclesDeveloping countriesEconometric modelsAgricultural commoditiesimfAgriculture: GeneralimfAid flowsimfConsumptionimfEconomic assistanceimfEconomic policyimfEconomicsimfEmpirical Studies of TradeimfExports and ImportsimfExportsimfFarm produceimfForeign AidimfInternational economicsimfInvestment & securitiesimfInvestments: CommoditiesimfMacroeconomicsimfMacroeconomics: ConsumptionimfNternational cooperationimfSavingimfTerms of tradeimfTrade: GeneralimfWealthimfBurkina FasoimfEconomic assistanceEconometric models.Economic developmentEconometric models.Business cyclesEconometric models.Agricultural commoditiesAgriculture: GeneralAid flowsConsumptionEconomic assistanceEconomic policyEconomicsEmpirical Studies of TradeExports and ImportsExportsFarm produceForeign AidInternational economicsInvestment & securitiesInvestments: CommoditiesMacroeconomicsMacroeconomics: ConsumptionNternational cooperationSavingTerms of tradeTrade: GeneralWealth338.91Dhasmana Anubha1815993DcWaIMFBOOK9910968526303321Welfare Gains of Aid Indexation in Small Open Economies4371631UNINA04367nam 22007214a 450 991096633430332120200520144314.01-280-86867-897866108686741-4294-2717-590-474-0829-21-4337-0455-210.1163/9789047408291(CKB)1000000000334780(EBL)280453(OCoLC)476023558(SSID)ssj0000096661(PQKBManifestationID)11119519(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000096661(PQKBWorkID)10082034(PQKB)10158345(MiAaPQ)EBC280453(Au-PeEL)EBL280453(CaPaEBR)ebr10171752(CaONFJC)MIL86867(OCoLC)437175208(OCoLC)191930851(nllekb)BRILL9789047408291(MiAaPQ)EBC32226766(Au-PeEL)EBL32226766(EXLCZ)99100000000033478020050628d2005 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAchieving peace or protecting human rights? conflicts between norms regarding ethnic discrimination in the Dayton Peace Agreement /by Gro Nystuen1st ed.Leiden ;Boston Martinus Nijhoff Publishers20051 online resource (310 p.)Raoul Wallenberg Institute human rights library ;v. 23Originally presented as the author's thesis (doctoral)--University of Oslo, 2004.90-04-14652-0 Includes bibliographical references (p. 255-261) and index.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS -- CHAPTER 1.

Conflicts between norms regarding ethnic discrimination in the Dayton Peace Agreement" examines some of the legal issues pertaining to international settlements aiming at ending a war, finding political common ground between bitter enemies, and at the same time, protecting individual human rights. The author examines the Dayton Peace Agreement for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in particular the constitutional framework which on the one hand secures everyone's human rights and protection from ethnic discrimination, but on the other hand sets up a political system which in fact discriminates on the basis of ethnicity. The author argues that it might have been consistent with international law (particularly the legal regimes of derogation and necessity) to agree on such a constitutional system at the time of the Dayton negotiations because the alternative was a high risk of continued war, but that a constitutional arrangement with clear human rights deficiencies should have been made temporary. The author points out that the ethnically-based constitutional system, for the time being, seems to prevail at the expense of the right to non-discrimination, and discusses various possibilities of altering this situation.Raoul Wallenberg Institute human rights library ;v. 23.Yugoslav War, 1991-1995PeaceDiscriminationLaw and legislationFormer Yugoslav republicsHuman rightsFormer Yugoslav republicsYugoslav War, 1991-1995Peace.DiscriminationLaw and legislationHuman rights341.4/8Nystuen Gro599364MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966334303321Achieving peace or protecting human rights1025103UNINA
