Public-Private Partnership for Competitiveness
Felipe, Jesus; Felipe, Jesus | June 2003
Abstract
A key question in development economics has been why some countries grow faster than others. In recent years, the role of the government has come to the center of the discussion, giving rise to the notion of 'national competitiveness.' The debate about national competitiveness has revolved around two questions: first, whether the notion of a country's competitiveness is meaningful; and second, whether the government should do anything to enhance it. This brief addresses these two issues.

International Payments Imbalances
Felipe, Jesus; Harrigan, Frank; Mehta, Aashish (Asian Development Bank, 2006-04-01)The recent “global payments imbalances” have raised questions about their sustainability and how they can be resolved. Views on these issues are diverse. For developing Asia, the current account surpluses, positive savings-investment gaps, and reserve accumulation pose significant structural challenges: (i) investment rates in several countries are low by historical averages as well as when compared ...The recent “global payments imbalances” have raised questions about their sustainability and how they can be resolved.

Asia’s Current Account Surplus: Savings Glut or Investment Drought? Asian Development Review, Vol. 23(1), pp. 16-54
Felipe, Jesus; Kintanar, Kristine; Lim, Joseph Anthony (Asian Development Bank, 2006-03-28)Over the last few years economists have started referring to the existence of “global payments imbalances”, reflected in the growing current account surpluses and deficits among different regions of the world (surpluses mostly, but not only, by a number of Asian countries; deficits mainly by the US), together with a substantial accumulation of international reserves (also by a number of Asian ...Over the last few years economists have started referring to the existence of “global payments imbalances”, reflected in the growing current account surpluses and deficits among different regions of the world (surpluses mostly, but not only, by a ... -
Is Pakistan's Growth Rate Balance-of-Payments Constrained?Policies and Implications for Development and Growth
Felipe, Jesus (Taylor and Francis, 2010-11-25)This paper examines the extent to which Pakistan's growth has been, or is likely to be, constrained by its balance of payments. Evidence presented suggests that Pakistan's maximum growth rate consistent with equilibrium on the basic balance is approximately 5% per annum. This is below the long-term target GDP growth rate of 7–8% per annum. This balance-of-payments constrained growth approach provides ...This paper examines the extent to which Pakistan's growth has been, or is likely to be, constrained by its balance of payments.
