Latin American Entrepreneurs: Many Firms but Little Innovation Authors: Daniel Lederman, Julian Messina, Samuel Pienknagura and Jamele RigoliniPublished: December 2013 Pages: 168Abstract:

6、Entrepreneurship - manifested in the entry of new firms or products into new markets, or substantial improvements in technological capacity or process innovation by incumbent firms - is widely considered to be an important ingredient for long term economic development. This report argues that entrep

7、reneurship is also a source of employment generation, export growth, and resilience during economic downturns. Although the conventional wisdom suggests that Latin American and Caribbean countries underperform relative to China and other emerging markets in terms of its entrepreneurial dynamism, thi

8、s report provides evidence suggesting that the region is characterized by substantial entrepreneurship. The main challenge in the region is not a lack of entrepreneurs, but rather their relatively low level of innovation and the slow growth of incumbent firms. The report discusses the nature of new

9、entrants into markets and the factors that might help stimulate private-sector innovation after firms have survived the initial test of market competition. Entrepreneurship in Latin America: A Step Up the Social Ladder? Authors: Eduardo Lora and Francesca CastellaniPublished: December 2013 Pages: 20

10、8Abstract: This book looks at both the potential and limits of policies to promote entrepreneurship as an important vehicle for social mobility in Latin America and the Caribbean. Who are the regions entrepreneurs? They tend to be middle-aged males with secondary and, often, tertiary education who r

11、epresent only a small segment of the economically-active population in the six countries considered in this book. They come from families in which a parent is, or was, an entrepreneur. In fact, a parents occupation is more important in the decision to become an entrepreneur than a parents wealth, in

12、come or education. Middle class entrepreneurship tends to dominate the sample in part since this is the majority class in society. However, as a percentage of each social class, entrepreneurship tends to be higher in the upper class, followed by the middle and lower classes. Entrepreneurs concentrat

Entrepreneurs face multiple obstacles including stifling bureaucracy, burdensome tax procedures, and lack of financ

14、ing, human capital, technological skills, and supportive networks. The support of family and friends, and a modicum of social capital, help them cope with these obstacles to entrepreneurship. Emerging Issues in Financial Development: Lessons from Latin America Authors: Tatiana Didier and Sergio L. S

15、chmuklerPublished: December 2013 Pages: 582Abstract: Since the 1990s, the financial systems in developing and developed countries have gained in soundness, depth, and diversity, prompted in part by a series of financial sector and macroeconomic reforms aimed at fostering a market-driven economy in w

16、hich finance plays a central role. Latin America has been one of the regions at the forefront of these changes and offers a good laboratory of where the challenges in financial development lie. Despite all the gains in financial development, there is still a nagging contrast between the intensity of

17、 financial sector reforms implemented over the past 20 years in many countries and the actual size and depth of their financial systems. In the case of Latin America, in many respects it remains underdeveloped by international comparisons. This book studies in detail the recent history of financial

18、sector development and reforms in Latin America, in comparison to other developing and developed countries, to shed light on the key obstacles for financial development. Rather than going in detail into sector-specific issues, the book focuses on the main architectural issues, overall perspectives,

19、and interconnections. Its value added thus hinges on its holistic view of the development process, its broad coverage of the financial services industry (not just banking), its emphasis on comparisons and benchmarking, its systemic perspective, and its explicit effort to incorporate the lessons from

20、 the recent global financial crisis. The book is divided into three main parts. The first presents a stock taking exercise to ascertain where Latin Americas financial development liesanalyzing in more detail some of the reasons and policy implications underlying its banking depth and equity liquidit

21、y gaps. The second part revisits two themes that are central to the regions financial development: long-term finance and the role of the state i. Left Out of the Bargain: Settlements in Foreign Bribery Cases and Implications for Asset Recovery Authors: Jacinta Anyango Oduor, Francisca M.U. Fernando,

22、 Agustin Flah, Dorothee Gottwald, Jeanne M. Hauch, Marianne Mathias, Ji Won Park and Oliver StolpePublished: December 2013 Pages: 178Abstract: Over the past decade, countries have increasingly used settlementsthat is, any procedure short of a full trialto conclude foreign bribery cases and have impo

23、sed billions in monetary sanctions. There exists a gap in knowledge, however, regarding settlement practices around the world and the disposition of these monetary sanctionsnotably through the lens of recovery of stolen assets. Left out of the Bargain, a study by the Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative

24、 (StAR), provides an overview of settlement practices by civil and common law countries that have been active in the fight against foreign bribery. Using the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) as its point of reference, the study addresses concerns voiced by the international commu

25、nity: What happens to the money associated with the settlements, and is it being returned to those most directly harmed by the corrupt practices? And what can be done to assist those countries harmed by foreign bribery? Left out of the Bargain has found that 395 settlement cases took place between 1

26、999 and mid-2012, resulting in a total of US$6.9 billion in monetary sanctions imposed against companies and individuals. Of this amount, nearly US$6 billion came from settlements that took place in a country different from that of the allegedly bribed foreign public officials. But only about US$197

27、 million, or 3 percent, has been returned or ordered returned to the countries whose officials were accused of accepting bribes. Left out of the Bargain urges countries whose officials were allegedly bribed to intensify their efforts to investigate and prosecute the providers and recipients of forei

28、gn bribes, hence improving these countries prospects for recovery of assets lost through corruption. The study also calls for more proactive international cooperation and coordination to ensure that all affected countries are afford. Global Financial Development Report 2014: Financial Inclusion Auth

29、ors: IFC / MIGA / The World BankPublished: November 2013 Pages: 222Abstract: Financial inclusion has become a major subject of interest among policymakers, researchers, and other financial sector stakeholders. Many countries, for example, have recently adopted explicit financial inclusion strategies

30、 with targets for financial inclusion. The interest reflects an increased recognition that financial inclusion can be a driver of economic growth and poverty alleviation, and that many individuals and firms are excluded unnecessarily from even basic financial services. About half of the worlds adult

31、 population more than 2.5 billion peoplehave no bank account is one powerful example. Barriers such as cost, travel distance, and amount of paperwork and requirements play an important role. Many of these barriers can be addressed by better policies. Despite the high interest, there are still import

32、ant gaps in knowledge about financial inclusion, what drives it, and what policies affect it. And while recent years have seen some increases in financial inclusion, there is still much scope to reduce barriers to access. However, one of the challenges is that efforts to increase inclusion, if not i

33、mplemented well, can backfire. Deeply ingrained social problems cannot be resolved purely with an infusion of debt. If not done properly, it can have the opposite effect, making poor borrowers increasingly dependent on debt, and even contributing to financial instability. Global Financial Developmen

34、t Report 2014: Financial Inclusion is a new report from the World Bank Group. It takes a step back and re-examines financial inclusion from the perspective of new global datasets and new evidence. It builds on a critical mass of new research and operational work produced by World Bank Group staff as

35、 well as outside researchers and contributors. The report, the second in this series, follows up on the inaugural issue, the Global Financial Development Report 2013: Re. The World Bank Legal Review, Volume 5: Fostering Development through Opportunity, Inclusion, and Equity Authors: Hassane Cisse, N

36、. R. Madhava Menon, Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger and Vincent O. NmehiellePublished: November 2013 Pages: 688Abstract: This volume will explore the potentially transformative role of effective laws and legal institutions in providing people with more opportunity that is both inclusive and equitable.

37、 Laws, legal frameworks and judicial institutions can create opportunity by providing the space to build human capital and assets, create jobs, and encourage individuals and organizations to make productive investments based on a greater sense of stability. They can also promote inclusion by advanci

38、ng access to jobs and expanding the reach and quality of services including access to justice as well as promote equity by supporting equal opportunities, promoting open and accountable governance, and effective judicial and legal institutions. The objective is to shift focus to laws, legal framewor

39、ks and judicial institutions. To this end, submissions will explore the potentially transformative role of effective laws and legal institutions in providing people with more opportunity that is both inclusive and equitable. Inclusion Matters: The Foundation for Shared Prosperity Authors: The World

40、Bank Published: November 2013 Pages: 298Abstract: Social inclusion is on the agenda of governments, policymakers, and non-state actors around the world. Underpinning this concern is the realization that despite progress on poverty reduction, some people continue to feel left out. This report aims to

41、 unpack the concept of social inclusion and understand better how policies can be designed to further inclusion. First, the report offers a definition of social inclusion as the process of improving the terms for individuals and groups to take part in society. It unpacks different domains of society

42、 that excluded groups and individuals are at particular risk of being left out of - markets, services, and spaces. Second, the report discusses the most important global mega-trends such as migration, climate change, and aging of societies, which will impact challenges and opportunities for inclusio

43、n. Finally, it argues that despite these challenges, change towards inclusion is possible and offers examples of inclusionary policies.
