Non-Linear Effects of Structural Variables on Employment Elasticities-Inflation; AppendixThe aim of this paper is to provide new estimates of employment-output elasticities and assess the effect of structural and macroeocnomic policies on the employment-intensity of growth. Using an unbalanced panel of 167 countries over the period 1991 - 2009, the results suggest that structural policies aimed at increasing labor and product market flexibility and reducing government size have a significant and positive impact on employment elasticities. In addition, the results also suggest that in order to maximize the positive impact on the responsiveness of employment to economic activity, structural policies have to be complemented with macroeconomic policies aimed at increasing macroeconomic stability.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2012/218Job creationFull employment policiesAggregate Human CapitalimfAggregate Labor ProductivityimfBusiness FluctuationsimfCommodity exchangesimfCommodity marketsimfCyclesimfDemand and Supply of Labor: GeneralimfEconomic theoryimfEmploymentimfFinanceimfFinance: GeneralimfFinancial marketsimfGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)imfIncome economicsimfInstitutions and the MacroeconomyimfIntergenerational Income DistributionimfLabor Economics PoliciesimfLabor market policyimfLabor marketimfLabor marketsimfLaborimfLabourimfMacroeconomicsimfMacroeconomics: Consumption, Saving, Production, Employment and Investment: OtherimfMacrostructural analysisimfManpower policyimfMobility, Unemployment, and Vacancies: GeneralimfStructural policiesimfUnemploymentimfWagesimfNew ZealandimfJob creation.Full employment policies.Aggregate Human CapitalAggregate Labor ProductivityBusiness FluctuationsCommodity exchangesCommodity marketsCyclesDemand and Supply of Labor: GeneralEconomic theoryEmploymentFinanceFinance: GeneralFinancial marketsGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)Income economicsInstitutions and the MacroeconomyIntergenerational Income DistributionLabor Economics PoliciesLabor market policyLabor marketLabor marketsLaborLabourMacroeconomicsMacroeconomics: Consumption, Saving, Production, Employment and Investment: OtherMacrostructural analysisManpower policyMobility, Unemployment, and Vacancies: GeneralStructural policiesUnemploymentWages332.1Furceri Davide1157580Crivelli Ernesto1606357Toujas-Bernate Joël1815909DcWaIMFBOOK9910970287303321Can Policies Affect Employment Intensity of Growth?

Providing an examination of the ideas and aspirations surrounding information and the library, as well as the actual practices and actions of information professionals from the United States, Britain, and those working with organizations such as Unesco to develop library services, this book tells an important story about international history that also provides insight into the history of information, globalization, and cultural relations. Exploring efforts to help build library services and train a cohort of professional librarians around the globe, the book examines countries in Asia, Africa, and the Pacific during the period of the Cold War and decolonization. Using the ideas of 'library diplomacy' and 'library imperialism' to frame Anglo-American involvement in this work, Laugesen examines the impact library development work had on various countries. The book also considers what might have motivated nations in the global South to use foreign aid to help develop their library services and information infrastructure. Globalizing the Library prompts refl ection on the way in which library services are developed and the way professional knowledge is transferred, while also illuminating the power structures that have shaped global information infrastructures. As a result, the book should be essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of libraries, development, and information. It should also be of great interest to information professionals and information historians who are reflecting critically on the way information has been transferred, consumed, and shaped in the modern world.Routledge studies in library and information science.International librarianshipHistory20th centuryLibrary scienceDeveloping countriesHistory20th centuryLibrariesDeveloping countriesHistory20th centuryLibrariesPolitical aspectsInternational librarianshipHistoryLibrary scienceHistoryLibrariesHistoryLibrariesPolitical aspects.020.621LAN025000bisacshLaugesen Amanda769643OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910545197503321Globalizing the library1569192UNINA
