But what exactly do economists know and not know about growth? What direction should future research and policymaking take? This issue explores this topic, starting with a major World Bank study and research coming out of Harvard University that urges less reliance on simple formulas and the elusive search for best practices, and greater reliance on deeper economic analysis to identify each country's binding constraint(s) on growth. Other articles highlight IMF research on pinpointing effective levers for growth in developing countries and Africa's experience with growth accelerations. Also in the issue are pieces examining global economic imbalances, rapid credit growth in Eastern and Central Europe, and ways to boost productivity growth in Europe and Japan. In Straight Talk, Raghuram Rajan argues that if we want microfinance to become more than a fad, it has to follow the clear and unsentimental path of adding value and making money. Asian Development bank's Haruhiko Kuroda sets out his vision for a new financial architecture in Asia. Finally, Picture This takes an in-depth look at global employment trends. 410 0$aFinance & Development; Finance & Development ;$vNo. 0043/001 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aInvestments: General$2imf 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMoney and Monetary Policy$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)$2imf 606 $aTrade Policy$2imf 606 $aInternational Trade Organizations$2imf 606 $aMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: General$2imf 606 $aInvestment$2imf 606 $aCapital$2imf 606 $aIntangible Capital$2imf 606 $aCapacity$2imf 606 $aEducation: General$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Production$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aincome economics$2imf 606 $aMonetary economics$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aEducation$2imf 606 $aCustoms administration core functions$2imf 606 $aCredit$2imf 606 $aProductivity$2imf 606 $aWages$2imf 606 $aMoney$2imf 606 $aRevenue administration$2imf 606 $aProduction$2imf 606 $aPersonal income$2imf 606 $aNational accounts$2imf 606 $aSaving and investment$2imf 606 $aPoverty$2imf 606 $aCustoms administration$2imf 606 $aIndustrial productivity$2imf 607 $aUnited States$2imf 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aInvestments: General 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMoney and Monetary Policy 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data) 615 7$aTrade Policy 615 7$aInternational Trade Organizations 615 7$aMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: General 615 7$aInvestment 615 7$aCapital 615 7$aIntangible Capital 615 7$aCapacity 615 7$aEducation: General 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Production 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aincome economics 615 7$aMonetary economics 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aEducation 615 7$aCustoms administration core functions 615 7$aCredit 615 7$aProductivity 615 7$aWages 615 7$aMoney 615 7$aRevenue administration 615 7$aProduction 615 7$aPersonal income 615 7$aNational accounts 615 7$aSaving and investment 615 7$aPoverty 615 7$aCustoms administration 615 7$aIndustrial productivity 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823362703321 996 $aFinance & Development, March 2006$93977558 997 $aUNINA
