  • - successes and failures
    by Thyra A. Riley
    £36.99

    Moving towards universal access to financial services is within reach - thanks to new technologies, transformative business models and ambitious reforms. Such instruments as e-money accounts, along with debit cards and low-cost regular bank accounts, can significantly increase financial access for those who are now excluded. The purpose of this publication is to learn the lessons of success from 4 country case studies of "Gazelles" - Kenya, Thailand, Sri Lanka and South Africa - that have transformed the landscape of financial access to the poor by successfully enabling the deployment of e-money technology. 2 country case studies (Philippines and Maldives) yield lessons learned from constraints that stalled e-money deployments. Because Technology is not a silver bullet, the case studies explore "What are the other strategic elements that need to be in place in order for a country to guide increased financial access through digital technology?"

  • - Razones de la rigidez de la pobreza en la Republica Dominicana
     
    £31.99

    La Republica Dominicana se destaca por ser una economia en rapido crecimiento que no le ha sido posible generar una reduccion proporcional en la pobreza. Tres razones han sido planteadas anteriormente para explicar esta paradoja: (i) un mercado laboral que no traduce el aumento de la productividad en aumentos salariales; (ii) una economia interna con debiles encadenamientos intersectoriales; (iii) y un sector publico que ni gasta lo suficiente, ni particularmente bien, para reducir la pobreza. Ademas, el pais permanece mayormente expuesto a desastres naturales y choques exogenos que, si no se mitigan adecuadamente, pueden afectar la sostenibilidad del crecimiento a largo y mediano plazos. Esta obra conjuga varios analisis empiricos que exploran tres hipotesis complementarias que podrian ayudar a entender porque la Republica Dominicana, aun hoy, sigue experimentando altas tasas de crecimiento economico con reduccion limitada de la pobreza. La primera hipotesis trata de probar si el patron de rapido crecimiento economico con la pobreza persistente que se observa en la RD lo impulsa en parte una metodologia de la pobreza que no toma en cuenta la variacion de precios que claramente afecta los patrones de consumo de los hogares de ingresos bajo y aquellos de mejor posicion economica. Si se sostiene esa hipotesis, la RD puede enfrentar una situacion en la cual se subestiman los ingresos del hogar con respecto a los hogares en el extremo inferior de la distribucion. La segunda hipotesis intenta validar si el patron de especializacion en la RD podria ser tal que no favorece la mano de obra no calificada. Si se sostiene esa hipotesis, entonces el rendimiento del capital probablemente es mucho mayor que el rendimiento de la mano de obra lo que podria ser un indicio de que la RD ha tenido una ventaja comparativa en productos que son de uso intensivo de capital. La tercera hipotesis investiga si la pobreza y la desigualdad salarial en la RD se ven afectadas no solo por la inmigracion, sino tambien por la emigracion. El aporte del volumen, por tanto, descansa precisamente en ofrecer una exploracion mas cuidadosa de los asuntos especificos que giran en torno a explicaciones comunes para las deficiencias de la RD en reducir la pobreza de manera mas rapida.
