are derived from OECD (n.d.). The main social policy areas are old age, survivors, incapacity-related benefits, health, family, active labour market programmes, unemployment, housing and other social policy areas. Those areas can be further divided by type of expenditure (cash benefits, benefits in-kind), type of programme (active labour market programme, incapacity-related) and source (voluntary private, public).

Easterly, Ritzen and Woolcock 2006. The classification of less- and morecohesive societies is the same as in Easterly, Ritzen and Woolcock (2006) and is based on measures of ethnolinguistic fractionalization and income share of the middle class (defined as the middle 60 percent of the income distribution). Easterly, Ritzen and Woolcock (2006) define more cohesive societies as those in the lower half of ethno-linguistic fractionalization and in the upper half of income share of the middle class and less cohesive societies as the reverse. Since 1980 more-cohesive societies have progressed faster than less cohesive societies, but the difference became much more pronounced after the recession in less cohesive societies in the 1980s and after the global crisis in 2008.

To foster desired behaviours, economists emphasize material incentives provided through contracts, markets or policy. While these often work very effectively, there also many puzzling cases where incentives fail

to have the desired effects (crowding out) or where minor incentives have a disproportionately large impact (crowding in, shift in norms). Societies also sometimes persist with what seem like inefficiently costly forms of incentives (prison rather than fines or reparations) or renounce others that might be quite cheap or effective (public shaming).

Universal social goods are goods and services that society decides should be guaranteed to all people, independent of their capacity to pay, and the rules that citizens should respect in their interaction with each other (such as nondiscrimination and protection of weaker members of society). See Ocampo (2013). See Musgrave (1959) for the original theorization of merit goods. For an explanation of merit goods in the global context, see Sandler, Arce and Daniel (2002).

However, at the 2005 Group of Eight Summit in Gleneagles, Scotland, donor countries pledged to provide official development assistance at the level of 0.7 percent of gross national income by 2015. In 2012 official development assistance was less than half this goal, at only 0.29 percent of (UN 2013c). UNDP 2013a. Hamdani 2014. OECD 2013a. OECD 2013a. UNDP 2011b. Hollingshead 2010.

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has introduced stringent regulatory standards, including increasing capital buffers to draw on during periods of financial stress, measures to improve the quality of bank capital and a global minimum debt to equity ratio. Promising though it is, the 2010 Basel III Accord is based on voluntary commitments and has yet to be fully implemented (see Held and Young 2011). 60 UNDP 2013a. 61 Ratha and others 2013. 62 Ratha and others 2013. 63 This cost was for transfers from Ghana to Nigeria (World Bank 2013a). 64 IMF 2012. 65 G20 2011. 66 Kynge 2014. 67 Ocampo 2006; Machinea and Titelman 2007. 68 Ocampo and Griffith-Jones 2007. 69 Grabel 2012. 70 The leaders of Brazil, China, India, the Russian Federation and South Africa agreed to pool their resources to establish a BRICS Bank during the March 2013 BRICS Summit in South Africa. 71 Park 2006. 72 Culpeper 2006. 73 UNDP 2013a. 74 Hamdani 2014. 75 Jansen and von Uexkull 2010. 76 Hamdani 2014. 77 Thrasher and Gallagher 2008. 78 Gallagher, Griffith-Jones and Ocampo 2012. 79 WTO 2001 p. 1. 80 WTO 2013. 81 Von Braun and Tadesse 2012; Hoekman and Martin 2012. 82 Khor and Ocampo 2011. 83 Ghaenm 2011. 84 Khor and Ocampo 2011. 85 Kennedy and Stiglitz 2013. 86 Odagir and others 2012; Pollock 2006. 87 Abdel-Latif 2012. 88 Hogerzeil and others 2013. 89 Khor and Ocampo 2011. 90 IPCC 2013. 91 World Bank 2014b. 92 IPCC 2013. 93 UNDP 2012a. 94 Hirsch 2012. 95 Polk 2013. 96 Polk 2013. 97 UN General Assembly 2013c. 98 Hale 2014. 99 UN-Habitat 2011. 100 Lutsey and Sperling 2008. 101 WWF 2007. 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59
