CONCLUSIONS""; ""References""; ""Data Sources and Estimates "" 330 3 $aInvestment-to-GDP ratios across the Caribbean tend to be relatively high. In many countries, these ratios have been trending higher since the mid-1990s, largely reflecting public investment and foreign direct investment. Private domestic investors have been less prominent. This may be one reason why such high investment has delivered Caribbean growth rates below the middle-income average. This paper seeks to understand how higher private investment may be encouraged. Using new data, it concludes that: the multiplier effects of public investment and FDI on private domestic investment are weak; and private domestic investment (PDI) is sensitive to the cost of capital. Public policy designed to raise PDI should focus on creating conditions for a lower cost of capital. The focus should be on removing barriers to lower real interest rates, rather than the further extension of costly tax concessions. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/152 606 $aInvestments$zCaribbean Area 606 $aCapital costs$zCaribbean Area 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aInvestments: General$2imf 606 $aInvestments: Stocks$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: Infrastructures$2imf 606 $aOther Public Investment and Capital Stock$2imf 606 $aPension Funds$2imf 606 $aNon-bank Financial Institutions$2imf 606 $aFinancial Instruments$2imf 606 $aInstitutional Investors$2imf 606 $aInterest Rates: Determination, Term Structure, and Effects$2imf 606 $aInvestment$2imf 606 $aCapital$2imf 606 $aIntangible Capital$2imf 606 $aCapacity$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aInvestment & securities$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aStocks$2imf 606 $aPublic investment and public-private partnerships (PPP)$2imf 606 $aReal interest rates$2imf 606 $aPublic investment spending$2imf 606 $aPrivate investment$2imf 606 $aPublic-private sector cooperation$2imf 606 $aInterest rates$2imf 606 $aPublic investments$2imf 606 $aSaving and investment$2imf 607 $aTrinidad and Tobago$2imf 615 0$aInvestments 615 0$aCapital costs 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aInvestments: General 615 7$aInvestments: Stocks 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: Infrastructures 615 7$aOther Public Investment and Capital Stock 615 7$aPension Funds 615 7$aNon-bank Financial Institutions 615 7$aFinancial Instruments 615 7$aInstitutional Investors 615 7$aInterest Rates: Determination, Term Structure, and Effects 615 7$aInvestment 615 7$aCapital 615 7$aIntangible Capital 615 7$aCapacity 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aInvestment & securities 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aStocks 615 7$aPublic investment and public-private partnerships (PPP) 615 7$aReal interest rates 615 7$aPublic investment spending 615 7$aPrivate investment 615 7$aPublic-private sector cooperation 615 7$aInterest rates 615 7$aPublic investments 615 7$aSaving and investment 700 $aRoache$b Shaun$01462118 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788526703321 996 $aDomestic Investment and the Cost of Capital in the Caribbean$93670986 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03851nam 2200613Ia 450 001 9910792071203321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-299-27666-0 010 $a0-226-92410-6 024 7 $a10.7208/9780226924106 035 $a(CKB)2560000000099127 035 $a(EBL)1138838 035 $a(OCoLC)829713886 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000832852 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12305528 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000832852 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10935259 035 $a(PQKB)11560049 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000099518 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1138838 035 $a(DE-B1597)523551 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780226924106 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1138838 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10668589 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL458916 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000099127 100 $a20120510d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe Charleston Orphan House$b[electronic resource] $echildren's lives in the first public orphanage in America /$fJohn E.

From wealthy benefactors to the families who sought its assistance to the artisans and merchants who relied on its charges as apprentices, the Orphan House was a critical component of the city's social fabric. By bringing together white citizens from all levels of society, it also played a powerful political role in maintaining the prevailing social order. John E. Murray tells the story of the Charleston Orphan House for the first time through the words of those who lived there or had family members who did. Through their letters and petitions, the book follows the families from the events and decisions that led them to the Charleston Orphan House through the children's time spent there to, in a few cases, their later adult lives. What these accounts reveal are families struggling to maintain ties after catastrophic loss and to preserve bonds with children who no longer lived under their roofs. An intimate glimpse into the lives of the white poor in early American history, The Charleston Orphan House is moreover an illuminating look at social welfare provision in the antebellum South. 410 0$aMarkets and governments in economic history. 606 $aOrphanages$zSouth Carolina$zCharleston$xHistory 610 $achildren, childhood, growing up, coming of age, orphans, orphanage, public, america, american, united states, welfare, poverty, south, southern, benefactors, apprentice, social studies, community, inequality, equality, class, classism, politics, political, family, true story, history, historical, antebellum, carolina, education, sickness, adulthood. 615 0$aOrphanages$xHistory. 676 $a362.73/2 700 $aMurray$b John E.$f1959-$01510991 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792071203321 996 $aThe Charleston Orphan House$93775719 997 $aUNINA
