Global Value Chains in economic development

Hansjörg Herr, Petra Dünhaupt | 2019

 

Abstract: Global Value Chains (GVCs) started to play an increasing and key role in the global economy from the 1990s on. The market mechanism in GVCs supports industrialisation in the Global South and under certain conditions product and process upgrading. But GVCs do not lead to the catching-up of countries in the sense of them approaching real GDP per capita levels comparable with developed countries. These arguments are supported by a critical interpretation of the traditional trade theory, the New Trade Theory and specific approaches to explain GVCs, especially different governance structures and power relationships. Several case studies support these arguments. For catching-up, countries need comprehensive horizontal and vertical industrial policy and policies for social coherence. The small number of countries which managed to catch up did this in different variations.

Key words: Global Value Chains, Under-development, Rent-seeking, Industrial Policy

The Gender strategy of the IMF: The way to go towards gender equality or a mere instrumentalisation of feminism?

The Gender strategy of the IMF: The way to go towards gender equality or a mere instrumentalisation of feminism?
Due to the IMF’s focus on gender budgeting, this essay will mainly examine its gender budgeting recommendations as an example of its general inclination towards gender issues and its conception of gender equality. What does the IMF’s focus on gender equality really mean from a critical feminist perspective? What are its main objectives? What does it seek to change and to maintain? What concept or idea of women does it follow and what are the underlying theoretical foundations?

Using Academic Travel to Teach Sustainable Economic Development
Sustainable Development has become dominant in policy debates in the last two decades. Standard models in neoclassical economics as taught in undergraduate classes fail to capture the complex relationships between the economy and the environment.

Rationalität(en), echte Unsicherheit, und Evolution komplexer ökonomischer Systeme
Die Vorlesung beginnt mit einer kurzen Übersicht zur Kritik an der Mainstream Ökonomik. Dabei wird Konzept der unsichtbaren Hand in den historischen Kontext gesetzt und einige der Annahmen und Inkonsistenzen der allgemeinen Gleichgewichtstheorie dargestellt. Der Hauptteil der Vorlesung beschäftigt sich mit Kooperations und Anti-Kooperationsspielen. Im Besonderen wird auf die Bedeutung bzw. die Möglichkeit von Rationalität in den Spielen eingegangen. Die betrachteten Spiele sind das Gefangenendilemma, Stag Hunt, Chicken, Battle of the sexes, und Taube/Falke. In der Diskussion der evolutionären Spieltheorie wird besonderes Augenmerk auf die Auswirkungen Häufigkeit eines Akteurs in einer Population gelegt. Die Vorlesung endet mit einem kurzen Exkurs zu den Eigenschaften von verschiedenen komplexen Systemen, u.a. power law Verteilungen.

Thirlwalls Law Introduction
Balance of payments stability is of paramount importance for developing countries, both to secure the value of their domestic currencies as well as reliable foreign currency inflows. But how is that stability ensured and how important is the growth of exports for stability?

Capitalism: Competition, Conflict, Crisis
Anwar Shaikh seeks in his lectures for alternative explanations for empirically observed macro and microeconomic patterns of economic fluctuations, price volatility, and economic development. In contrast to many other economic theorists, he rejects micro-foundations based on the idea of utility maximization and economic equilibria, and develops a theory of "real …
