Quasi-Fiscal Activities, Hidden Government Subsidies, and Fiscal Adjustment in Armenia (World Bank Working Papers)
Lev M. Freinkman , Gohar Gyulumyan , and Artak Kyurumyan Manufacturer: World Bank Publications ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0821356046 |
Download Description
This paper aims to develop a detailed analysis of quasi-fiscal deficits and subsidies, and their impact on Armenia's fiscal performance in the second part of the 1990s. Based on the flow-of-funds approach, we estimate the magnitude of the quasi-fiscal deficits and the incidence of quasi-fiscal subsidies in Armenia, as well as identify main recipients and sources of quasi-fiscal financing. The principal finding of the paper is that while quasi-fiscal deficits in Armenia remain considerable, their recent decline has been a major contributing factor to Armenia's fiscal adjustment. The paper also shows that households remain a major ultimate recipient of quasi-fiscal subsidies. Thus, the main distortive impact of quasi-fiscal subsidies is on social policy and equity, rather than on enterprise restructuring and private sector performance. Still, the current level of public sector deficit in Armenia remains too high, which requires an additional adjustment effort. The paper suggests that to make fiscal adjustment sustainable a further strengthening of financial control, accounting and reporting in the public sector is needed, including through better Government monitoring of debts and other liabilities accumulated by the large state enterprises and phasing out the phenomenon of implicit (hidden subsidies), such as e.g., debt-for-equity swaps. The proposed approach to the analysis of quasi-fiscal deficits and subsidies, based on estimates of accumulated debts in the public sector and its main parts, seems to be fully applicable to other economies in transition, especially to those low-income CIS countries, which are heavily dependent on energy imports.

The Ultimate Game of Strategy: Establish Your Personal Niche in the World of e-Commerce

Customer Reviews:
A forward thinking, thought provoking read..........2002-01-22
Why do dot.coms fail?
Read this book and find out. Read this book if you want to successfully compete in e-commerce over the long run.
This book is useful to business people developing or revising an e-commerce strategy.
Using game theory, Peter Small shows how an Industrial Age strategy using conventional business planning is actually a handicap in the age of e-commerce. A strategy involving genetic algorithms and establishing collaborative (not merely co-operative) working relationships has a greater chance of succeeding.
This book is both thought provoking and pragmatic. (The book itself was written using a genetic algorithm.) The business theories are illustrated by drawing on analogies from the film, fashion, book publishing industries as well as Peter Small's own personal experience.
You may be apprehensive about the turmoil of the e-commerce environment -- rife with information overload and hyper-accelerated technological change -- but after reading this book, you'll see these as WELCOME challenges to your e-commerce venture.

Intergovernmental Commodity Organizations and the New International Economic Order:
Amer Salih Araim Manufacturer: Praeger Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0275934055 |
Book Description
The crisis and war in the Gulf have heightened the search for secured energy resources and proved that the Middle East is of paramount interest to ensure an uninterrupted energy supply. Political instability in the region--as well as its relations with the West--have always been influenced by matters relating to oil supplies. The issues of cooperation or competition between governments to obtain sustained supply of commodities at remunerative prices to producers and acceptable to consumers are covered by this book. It provides a scientific analysis of the positions of producers of oil and other commodities as well as their consumers. In a significant new contribution to economic development literature, this book examines the role of intergovernmental commodity organizations in international commodity trade. Araim focuses particularly on the effects of these organizations on the establishment of the New International Economic Order advocated by developing states in an attempt to regain a measure of economic control over the commodities they export. Based on extensive research and his 17-year association with the United Nations, Araim analyzes four major commodity organizations to determine their ability to regain control from transnational corporations, to repatriate profits from the development of a raw material base, and enforce an altered economic order that assists the world's developing nations. In view of increasing bloc convergence and crippling debt problems, the 1990s will refocus attention on this critical issue of the terms under which commodities are traded between North and South. Following an introduction, the author explores the role of the UN General Assembly in promoting the New International Economic Order and the contributions of GATT and UNCTAD to the promotion of international trade in commodities. Turning to in-depth study of the commodity organizations themselves, Araim devotes a major portion of his book to OPEC because of its impact on the international oil market, its success (particularly in the 1970s) in raising oil prices for the benefit of its members, and its ability to meet the challenges facing it in the 1980s and 90s--an especially timely analysis in light of the recently ended Persian Gulf War. He then examines two other commodity exporting organizations that have had less success--the Intergovernmental Council of Copper Exporting Countries and the International Bauxite Association--in an effort to determine the reasons for their failure to appreciably influence international markets or provide economic benefits to national members. Araim concludes with a look at a major producer and consumer organization, the International Coffee Organization, showing how it has been able to play an important role in the international coffee market, despite chronic differences among producers and between them and consumers. Scholars in development economics and international trade will find Araim's work enlightening reading, while trade negotiators will find it a valuable and practical guidebook.
