World Development Report 2019 by World Bank Pdf

Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.

Managing State-owned Enterprises by Mary M. Shirley Pdf

This paper suggests ways to improve the efficiency of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) by examining the special circumstances and constraints that are common to them. These include confused and conflicting objectives; government intervention in operating decision; monopoly powers; and inefficient management. These problems are complex and resistant to change. Negotiated agreements between government and SOEs can be used to clarify objectives and set targets for both parties. Systems to monitor and evaluate performance take into account the special constraints placed on SOEs and adjust for distorted prices. Competition and better accountability to customers encourage efficiency. Incentives linked to performance help motivate top managers. Compensation and training can be geared toward creating a corps of competent managers with appropriate skills. Finally, governments are reducing the managerial and fiscal burden of SOEs through selective liquidation and divestiture.

Economic Reform in Socialist Countries by Peter T. Knight Pdf

Since the early 1950s, most countries that adopted Soviet-style central planning have attempted to reform this system. Certain commonalities stand out: a thrust toward increasing the autonomy of enterprises or subnational entitites in determining investments, wages, hiring, input purchase, product mix, and the conduct of foreign trade; reliance on the price system and financial mechanisms to guide enterprise decision making; linking earnings of managers and workers more closely to enterprise and individual performance; and recognition of a constructive role for the private sector. At the same time they have considered reform, however, these centrally planned economies have been remarkably resistant to change. Experience suggests that the success of reform depends largely on the strength of political support, the comprehensiveness and internal consistency of the reforms, the length of time they are pursued without interruption, and the availability of some economic slack. Case histories of reform in Romania, China, Hungary, and Yugoslavia are included.
