Country Level Academic RankingThe paper provides a detailed description of a novel dataset on education attainment in public administrations covering the period 1981-2011 for 178 countries. The dataset uses information extracted from CVs for over 130,000 mid to senior level officials from mainly central banks and ministries of economy and finance. Our main finding is that there is little heterogeneity across regions when considering a non quality-adjusted measure of education attainment in public administrations. Adjusting our measure for quality, using a country wide academic ranking, reveals important cross-regional heterogeneity differing from that of standard measures of education attainment for the general population. The dataset also allows us to uncover important patterns in public administrations' education attainment along gender and seniority across regions. We further use the dataset to explore a few applications which provide some evidence of (i) the importance of salary incentives in attracting highly educated staff and (ii) a positive association between education attainment in public administrations and government effectiveness (e.g. higher tax revenue mobilization, limiting corruption, better public finance management and private market support).IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2012/231EducationEducational attainmentAggregate Human CapitalimfAggregate Labor ProductivityimfCivil service & public sectorimfCivil serviceimfDemographic Economics: GeneralimfDemographyimfEconomic sectorsimfEducationimfEducation: GeneralimfEfficiencyimfEmploymentimfFinance, PublicimfFiscal governanceimfFiscal PolicyimfFiscal policyimfIntergenerational Income DistributionimfInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsimfLaborimfMacroeconomic Policy, Macroeconomic Aspects of Public Finance, and General Outlook: GeneralimfMacroeconomicsimfOptimal TaxationimfPopulation & demographyimfPopulation and demographicsimfPopulationimfPublic EnterprisesimfPublic sectorimfPublic-Private EnterprisesimfUnemploymentimfWagesimfUnited StatesimfEducation.Educational attainment.Aggregate Human CapitalAggregate Labor ProductivityCivil service & public sectorCivil serviceDemographic Economics: GeneralDemographyEconomic sectorsEducationEducation: GeneralEfficiencyEmploymentFinance, PublicFiscal governanceFiscal PolicyFiscal policyIntergenerational Income DistributionInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsLaborMacroeconomic Policy, Macroeconomic Aspects of Public Finance, and General Outlook: GeneralMacroeconomicsOptimal TaxationPopulation & demographyPopulation and demographicsPopulationPublic EnterprisesPublic sectorPublic-Private EnterprisesUnemploymentWages300;332.1Arezki RabahLui HerbertQuintyn MarcToscani FrederikDcWaIMFBOOK9911143642103321UNINA04806nam 2200577 a 450 991115181560332120251117082718.00-309-18685-41-282-97596-X97866129759670-309-15800-1(CKB)2550000000032077(EBL)3378726(MiAaPQ)EBC3378726(Au-PeEL)EBL3378726(CaPaEBR)ebr10443268(CaONFJC)MIL297596(OCoLC)923282920(BIP)53858651(BIP)31787922(EXLCZ)99255000000003207720101115d2010 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNew worlds, new horizons in astronomy and astrophysics /Committee for a Decadal Survey of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Board on Physics and Astronomy, Space Studies Board, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, National Research Council of the National Academies1st ed.Washington, D.C.

The fields of astronomy and astrophysics are making new connections to physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science. Based on a broad and comprehensive survey of scientific opportunities, infrastructure, and organization in a national and international context, New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics outlines a plan for ground- and space- based astronomy and astrophysics for the decade of the 2010's. Realizing these scientific opportunities is contingent upon maintaining and strengthening the foundations of the research enterprise including technological development, theory, computation and data handling, laboratory experiments, and human resources. New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics proposes enhancing innovative but moderate-cost programs in space and on the ground that will enable the community to respond rapidly and flexibly to new scientific discoveries. The book recommends beginning construction on survey telescopes in space and on the ground to investigate the nature of dark energy, as well as the next generation of large ground-based giant optical telescopes and a new class of space-based gravitational observatory to observe the merging of distant black holes and precisely test theories of gravity. New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics recommends a balanced and executable program that will support research surrounding the most profound questions about the cosmos. The discoveries ahead will facilitate the search for habitable planets, shed light on dark energy and dark matter, and aid our understanding of the history of the universe and how the earliest stars and galaxies formed. The book is a useful resource for agencies supporting the field of astronomy and astrophysics, the Congressional committees with jurisdiction over those agencies, the scientific community, and the public.AstronomyResearchForecastingAstrophysicsResearchForecastingResearchInternational cooperationAstronomyResearchForecasting.AstrophysicsResearchForecasting.ResearchInternational cooperation.520.72MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911151815603321New worlds, new horizons in astronomy and astrophysics4837708UNINA
