Expanding Productive Capacity

Lessons Learned from Graduating Least Developed Countries United Nations Over the past decades, least developed countries (LDCs) have made only limited progress in dynamically transforming and diversifying their economies.

Their structural challenges and weak economic and social performance are rooted in the limited development of their productive capacity. Building productive capacities helps move LDC towards graduation from the category and provides development momentum necessary to manage graduation and beyond. Graduation is not only a policy objective for many countries and the international community but, more importantly, it is a reflection that a country has been able to overcome or mitigate the most severe structural impediments to sustainable development. This is part of the Committee for Development Policy (CDP) Policy Note series.

Information Economy Report 2017 Digitalization, Trade and Development

United Nations Conference on Trade and Development This report analyzes the evolving digital economy and its implications for trade and development. While these are still early days of the digital economy, it is already clear that it will have globally transformative impacts on the way we live, work and develop our economies. As the world strives to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, harnessing the power of information and communications technologies (ICTs) is essential. Large parts of the developing world remain disconnected from the Internet, and many people lack access to high-speed broadband connectivity. Policymaking at the national and international levels needs to mitigate the risk that digitalization could widen existing divides and create new gaps.

Enhancing Regional Economic Cooperation and Integration in Asia and the Pacific United Nations It is argued that to further the development and the deepening of regional economic cooperation and integration (RECI) in the Asia-Pacific region can offer solutions to emerging challenges, such as quelling protectionist tendencies, mitigating rising inequalities, and addressing environmental degradation.

Through enhancing regional connectivity for energy, transport and information and communications technology (ICT), and promoting regional cooperation in trade, financing and shared vulnerabilities, RECI offers enormous potential in generating trade, growth and employment, improving social outcomes and managing environmental risks and shared vulnerabilities. This presents the possibility to develop RECI as a critical enabler of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in Asia and the Pacific.

Demand for Manufacturing - Driving Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development United Nations Industrial Development Organization Too often, demand is not considered when discussing industrial development.

But the fact that manufacturing consumption is the most visible result of industrial development, and one of its most important drivers, calls for attention. This report argues that under the right set of conditions the consumption of manufacturing goods can set in motion a virtuous circle of income creation, demand diversification and long-run development. How? By providing new and better goods that become cheaper through time, industrial development creates real incomes for all which in turn lead to changes in consumption patterns that stimulate further creation of new and better goods restarting the circle.

Socially Responsible Business United Nations Due to severe climate change and widening of gaps between socioeconomic groups, businesses are pressured to change normative management practices and operations towards development that is both inclusive and sustainable.

While shareholders have a vested interest in financial economic returns, stakeholders are more broadly interested in business’ objectives, policies and operations which may impact the global sustainability. In this context, the notion of socially responsible business (SRB) is gaining relevance. SRB is an approach in which for-profit businesses are proactively operating and undertaking projects that are aligned to achieving the long-term economic, social and environmental objectives of society. This book aims to increase the knowledge of policymakers and corporate leaders on SRB practices.

Achieving SDGs through Enhanced Development Cooperation in East and North-East Asia United Nations East and North-East Asian (ENEA) economies have come to play an increasingly important role in foreign aid regime over the past couple of decades. They are key providers of development assistance; moreover, their development experiences and strategies continue to shape the landscape of development cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. This report addresses: global and regional trends and opportunities on development cooperation; the ENEA experience in development cooperation; issues and challenges of development cooperation in the subregion; and enhancing development cooperation to achieve sustainable development. The varying experiences of the ENEA economies – most notably, their transition from being recipient to donors - could provide important lessons in development.

The present volume reproduces the awards in two arbitration cases, namely, the Arbitration regarding the Indus Waters Kishenganga between Pakistan and India, and the Arbitration regarding the Chagos Marine Protected Area between Mauritius and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. International arbitral and judicial awards are of considerable importance, for they are a “subsidiary means for the determination of the rules of law� as provided in Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice. They are also important from the point of view of the progressive development of international law, a task which Article 13 of the Charter places under the responsibility of the UN General Assembly.

UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records United Nations The use of electronic transferable records may bring a number of benefits to commerce due to speed and security of transmission, the possibility of reusing data and of automating certain transactions through “smart contracts”. Those features may be of particular interest for the finance and transport business sectors. Particularly relevant for developing countries is the possibility to establish a market for electronic warehouse receipts, which, in turn, may facilitate farmers’ access to credit. However, an adequate legislative framework is necessary to provide certainty on the legal status of electronic transferable records and therefore enable their use. Building on existing UNCITRAL texts on electronic commerce, the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records aims at legally enabling dematerialisation of transferable documents and instruments.

It is aimed at police officers, medical practitioners, lawyers, judicial officers, NGOs and others.

Innovative Financing for Development in Asia and the Pacific United Nations To meet the ambitions of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, financing for development needs to be dramatically scaled up. Innovative financing has the potential to bridge this gap by attracting private sector capital to support development objectives and by repurposing private sector financing instruments to address persistent development challenges. This report features a diverse selection of case studies on innovative financing mechanisms that have been implemented across the Asia-Pacific region. The report calls for governments to provide incentives for the private sector to move from economic-driven investments to impact investments generating social, environmental and financial returns and offers strategic recommendations based on the lessons learned from experiences in the region.

Guide on Valuing Unpaid Household Service Work United Nations This publication discusses the concept of unpaid household service work, focuses on identifying methodological and implementation issues with measuring own-use production work of services, and the challenges associated with both the measurement of labour input and the subsequent valuation. It provides recommendations aimed at producing estimates that are consistent with national accounting concepts and comparable across economies. It also limits the production boundary to own-use production work of services recognizing that the measurement and valuation of the provision of services for other households – essentially volunteering –require separate guidance. It provides examples of how own-use production work of services has been measured in selected country-specific contexts, before concluding with some examples of more detailed analysis and suggestions.

Classification by Broad Economic Categories, Rev.5

Defined in terms of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (2012) and the Central Product Classification, 2.1 United Nations This publication aims to analyze international trade statistics by large economic classes of goods and services, based on the main outputs of corresponding industries, to facilitate broad analyses of trade and production. Furthermore, it can be used to identify end-use dimensions (intermediate consumption, gross fixed capital formation, final consumption). Revision 5, has more levels than the previous revisions and provides better guidance on end-use categories for analytical purposes. For example it provides a new top level of broad economic categories, based on the main outputs of corresponding industries, to facilitate broad analyses of trade and production, and adds services and therefore refers to products rather than goods.
