Public Procurement, Innovation and Policy

The recent decade has witnessed a growing interest in using public procurement to spur innovation and development. An increasing number of governments are claiming that public procurement—often worth of 10–30 % of a country’s GDP as exemplified by European Union member countries (EC 2011b)—should be used more extensively and explicitly to promote innovation, technology, and economic…

Designing Public Procurement Policy in Developing Countries

Growth performance in developing economies has recently been quite impressive. In parallel, fiscal health has improved. These factors are driving public and private spending capacity in these economies. This chapter attempts at estimating and projecting (1) public procurement outlays devoted to machinery and equipment in these economies; and (2) importations arising from these outlays. Res…

Defence Procurement and Industry Policy

This book is about defence procurement and industry policy in small, advanced industrial economies. It is largely an exercise in applied economics but the contributions of legal and management scholars and defence procurement and industry policy practitioners will also be apparent throughout. The book inevitably draws on themes and analysis treated in the defence economics literature and r…

Advanced Public Procurement as Industrial Policy

This study is about the macroeconomics of positive externalities or industrial spillovers around advanced production. It is a case study, using different methods to generalize from cases at the microproduction and market levels to economic value creation and macroeconomic growth. I use the Swedish military aircraft industry as an illustrative case, and in particular the major industrial pr…

Why Poverty Persists

A decade ago, around the time the Chronic Poverty Research Centre (CPRC) was conceived, I co-edited a special issue of the Journal of Development Studies with John Hoddinott entitled ‘Poverty dynamics and economic mobility in developing countries’ (Baulch and Hoddinott, 2000). This issue, which subsequently became a book, contained a collection of six studies on poverty dynamics drawn fro…

A Foreign Policy of Freedom

My involvement in politics came about due to an earlier interest in economics, which began in the 1960s after reading Friedrich Hayek's classic, The Road to Serfdom. This led me to study Austrian economics, especially the writings ofLudwig von Mises, which provided the best explanation ofhow central banking and government intervention in the market economy cause so much suffering. TheAustr…

A Decade of Reform.

The origins of this particular review of China's experience in the reform of its science and technology (S&T) system go back to a conversation between the Chair of the State Science and Technology Commission (SSTC), Song Jian, and the President of the International Development Research Centre (1DRC), Keith Bezanson, held in Beijing in 1994. They noted that 1995 would be both the 10th Anniversar…

SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY

This policy governs the official use of social media at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)2. In the last several years, the use of Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and other social media tools to disseminate health messages has grown significantly, and continues to trend upward. CDC has found using social media tools as an effective way to expand reach, foster engagement, and incre…

PRODUCING YOUR NETWORK SECURITY POLICY

Network security experts agree that well-run corporations need a written security policy. The policy sets appropriate expectations regarding the use and administration of corporate IT assets. However, the conventional w isdom holds that composing and maintaining these documents bog down in a morass of bureaucratic inefficiency and pointless wrangling, which never ends and produces nothing usefu…
