Abstract:
Many bi-lateral and multi-lateral agencies, such as the United Nations, the UK Department for International Development (DfID), and the US Department of State, fund stabilization interventions. These are interventions in stabilization and fragile state contexts that aim to either: prevent organized violence between groups in conflict; prevent individuals from participating in organized violence; or protect civilians from exposure to violence or intimidation.
Outcome measurement and attribution for such interventions is a clear challenge. The pace of such interventions and the sensitivities associated with selecting beneficiaries may seriously constrain the use of "gold standard" randomization methods.
The heavily needs-based approach to much security-related programming may seriously limit the availability of areas or individuals who could be used as comparison groups. Dr. Annette Brown will review the impact evaluations of stabilization interventions conducted over the last decade, and highlight useful innovations and classifications to design such evaluations.

23 June 2011: Industrial Policy: Global Experiences
Ricardo Hausmann
Harvard University
Abstract:
Structural transformation is the process by which countries
change what they produce and move from low-productivity, low-wage
activities to high-productivity, high-wage activities. Methodologies
to analyze opportunities for structural transformation are emerging.
Governments that want to facilite movements to better export
activities, as well as encourage strategic jumps to new areas must
actively learn the sector-specific constraints to structural
transformation and overcome them in order to accelerate future
economic growth.

16 June 2011: Inflation Targeting: What Have We Learned
Spencer Dale
Bank of England
Abstract:
While inflation targeting has long been the
mainstream framework of monetary policy worldwide, the experience of
recent years has given fresh insights on the case for flexible
inflation targeting, and the mechanisms through which this should be
implemented.

15 June 2011: Services Growth and Convergence: Getting India’s States Together
Anirudh Shingal
University of Bern
Abstract:
India’s success story in services is well documented at the national level, but similar literature does not exist for India’s states. In this paper, we bridge this gap in research by looking at India’s services growth at the sub-national level and in doing so, also challenge existing literature by arguing that this growth has positive implications for income distribution. The first interesting finding is that even as per capita income is not converging across India’s states, per capita services are and we provide evidence for this both in terms of traditional measures of sigma- and beta-convergence and more recent panel unit root tests. Secondly, not only is external demand an important determinant of services value added at the state level, but this demand also emanates from all over the country rather than being concentrated in the neighbouring or richer states. This suggests that the benefits from services growth are being distributed more widely than may be perceived.
