The Place Of Human Rights Law In World Trade Organization Rules, Stephen Joseph Powell Feb 2004

The Place Of Human Rights Law In World Trade Organization Rules, Stephen Joseph Powell

Stephen Joseph Powell

WTO rules routinely are linked to the inability of nations to make meaningful progress in sharpening environmental and other human rights protections, for example, the failure of the 2002 Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development to usher in any new treaties despite the bright promise of the Rio Earth Summit of the previous decade. The common brief of environmental, medical, and development interest groups is that the market principles of supply and demand, comparative advantage, and non-discrimination on which global trade rules are built have encumbered pursuit by nations of fundamental non-economic objectives that must in any reasoned legal hierarchy …

Este documento propone para el caso del MERCOSUR, la aplicación de los criterios de endogeneidad como método alternativo de análisis costo-beneficio, el cual difiere de los métodos tradicionales al incorporar los efectos dinámicos en la evaluación de si determinadas zonas se constituyen o no en potencial candidato para ser considerada Área Monetaria Optima.

The Contribution Of Business Services To Aggregate Productivity Growth, Henk Lm Kox Dec 2003

The Contribution Of Business Services To Aggregate Productivity Growth, Henk Lm Kox

Henk LM Kox

As in most OECD countries, the business services industry in the Netherlands has grown much faster than the market sector as a whole. It has, however, displayed stagnating productivity growth, in some periods even a fall in productivity. Does this fast-growing industry with a bad productivity record present a threat to aggregate productivity growth and, hence, to future economic growth?
