Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This book is a useful resources for government policy analysts, academics, students of higher education and business practitioners interested in African economies and the key economic issues these economies are facing in 2020. In the face of weak governance and growth globally, there is still a window of opportunity for countries in Africa to build on not only their traditional industrial capabilities, but also pave the way for positive developments in international trade and in the way governments tackle poverty and inequality. By focusing on four areas: (1) agriculture and livestock, (2) consumption, poverty and inequality, (3) financial services, employment and corporate governance, and (4) economic integration, international trade and foreign direct investment (FDI), this book presents a series of empirical studies that examine important contemporary economic issues facing Africa. The book incorporates a range of methodological approaches, with some chapters providing case study analyses while others embrace more traditional forms of econometric testing.

Este libro contribuye a los esfuerzos académicos y polÃticos para lograr estos objetivos del PND. Consideramos que los sectores del carbón, los minerales metálicos y las materias primas del grupo del platino sustentarán la minerÃa como una industria "amanecer". La estrategia de crecimiento impulsado por las exportaciones es necesaria para la creación intensiva de empleo, pero debe complementarse con otras polÃticas micro, macroeconómicas e industriales. Una estrategia de beneficio de minerales es importante para la creación intensiva de empleo. La reforma agraria acelerada es una herramienta de intervención polÃtica de reforma estructural o del lado de la oferta destinada a aumentar la producción potencial, cambiar los patrones de propiedad en la economÃa, aumentar el espÃritu empresarial, la absorción de mano de obra, la inclusión económica y reducir la desigualdad de ingresos. La evidencia muestra que el canal del balance, los auges y caÃdas de los precios de las materias primas están estrechamente relacionados con la dinámica del tipo de cambio, la incertidumbre polÃtica, la confianza y los efectos de las sequÃas (también sÃntomas del cambio climático). Los shocks de crecimiento de la productividad y la inversión son importantes para la producción, el empleo y la estabilidad de precios. La evidencia indica que un crecimiento del PIB nominal superior al 10 por ciento y mantener la inflación dentro de la banda meta conduce a un aumento significativo del empleo y una disminución del desempleo, sin presiones inflacionarias, especialmente cuando la inflación está por debajo del 4,5 por ciento. Para hacer operativos los objetivos del PND, alinear y coordinar polÃticas, el mandato del Banco de la Reserva de Sudáfrica (SARB) puede ampliarse para incluir el máximo empleo. Esto debe complementarse con una reducción de la banda objetivo de inflación y un ajuste de los marcos regulatorio financiero, macroprudencial y de polÃtica monetaria. Esto mejorará la conducta y la credibilidad de las polÃticas de estabilidad monetaria y financiera para lograr los objetivos fijados. Estos objetivos hacen que la coordinación de polÃticas sea pertinente y vinculante. Nota de contenido: 1.

Do inflation regimes affect the transmission of nominal demand shocks to the price level? -- 13. What is the nature of the output-employment-unemployment nexus in South Africa? Evidence from various approaches to Okun's Law -- 14. Does the consideration of nominal wage growth imply a high level of inflation inertia or persistence compared to consumer price inflation? -- 15. Wage and consumer price inflation during exchange rate appreciation and depreciation episodes -- 16. Is there a case for nominal GDP growth targeting in South Africa? -- Part III: Policy uncertainty, mining sector charter, exchange rate volatility, commodity price booms and busts, binding minimum wage increases and the mining sector -- 17. How has the intensity of the ability of commodity specific output growth to create jobs evolved? Implications for the mining sector as a "sunrise industry" -- 18. Is export-led growth a necessary but insufficient condition for job creation in the mining sector? Does this mean that there is a strong case for beneficiation? -- 19 The impact of mining commodity price booms and sharp exchange rate depreciation episodes on mining output and employment growth -- 20. The role of the exchange rate on investment growth in the mining sector: Evidence from the balance sheet hypothesis -- 21. The role of the exchange rate volatilities on the mining sector -- 22. The role of policy uncertainty low confidence and the mining charter in the transmission of positive shocks to commodity prices in the mining sector -- 23. What are the mechanisms and channels through which the mining sector adjusted to an increase in the binding minimum wage in 2014? -- Part IV: Accelerated land reform, the agricultural sector and implications for macro-economic policies -- 24. The impact of structural change on the South African economy: Evidence from the structural change indices and McMillan and Rodrick (2011) labour productivity decomposition approach -- 25. Land reform, redistribution and agricultural investment growth: What are the implications for the NDP output and employment targets? -- 26. What is the role of food commodity price booms and busts in the agricultural sector? Implications for monetary policy -- 27. What is the role of trade liberalisation and food commodity price booms in the agricultural sector? Implications for the export-led growth strategy -- 28. Is the agricultural sector sensitive to the exchange rate depreciation and volatility: Evidence from the balance sheet channel -- 29. How are the interest rates and credit supply shocks transmitted to the agricultural sector? -- 30. What is the impact of a binding minimum wage on the agricultural sector? -- 31. Can land reform help reduce poverty and inequality? -- Part V: The transmission of sovereign debt downgrades into the credit markets and the real economy -- 32. What role does business confidence play in transmitting sovereign credit ratings upgrade and downgrades shocks to the real economy? -- 33. Are sovereign credit ratings shock transmitted via economic growth to impact credit growth dynamics? -- 34. Does the cost of government borrowing transmit the sovereign credit downgrade shocks to credit growth? -- Part VI: Capital flow surges, sudden stops and elevated portfolio volatility shocks: what is the nature of their interaction with GDP growth and credit and economic costs? -- 35. What are the economic costs of capital flow waves in South Africa? -- 36. Capital flow surges, sudden stops and elevated portfolio volatility shocks: What is the nature of their interaction with GDP growth and credit? -- 37.Do bank and non-bank capital flows induce sectorial reallocation of credit away from the household sector? -- 38. Do banking and non-banking capital flows induce sectorial reallocation of credit away from companies? -- 39. Do equity and debt inflows matter in the attainment of the price stability mandate? -- 40. Do local investors play a stabilizing role relative to foreign investors after economic shocks -- 41. Do investors' net purchases and capital retrenchment activities impact the monetary policy response to positive inflation shocks?. Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : The overarching goal of South Africa's National Development Plan (NDP) is to eliminate poverty, reduce inequality, lower unemployment and increase the labour participation.This book contributes to academic and policy efforts to achieve these NDP goals. We establish that the coal, metal ores and the platinum group commodity sectors will underpin the mining as a "sunrise" industry. The export-led growth strategy is necessary for intensive employment creation but must be complemented by other micro, macroeconomic and industrial policies. A strategy of minerals beneficiation is important for intensive employment creation. Accelerated land reform is a supply side or structural reform policy intervention tool aimed at increasing potential output, changing ownership patterns in the economy, increasing entrepreneurship, labour absorption, economic inclusion and lowering income inequality. Evidence shows that the balance sheet channel, commodity price booms and busts are intricately linked with the exchange rate dynamics, policy uncertainty, confidence and the effects of droughts (also symptoms of climate change). Productivity and investment growth shocks matter for output, employment and price stability. Evidence indicates that nominal GDP growth above 10 percent and keeping inflation within the target band leads to significant increase in employment and decline in unemployment, without inflationary pressures, especially when inflation is below 4.5 percent. To operationalise the NDP targets, align and co-ordinate policies, the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) mandate can be expanded to include maximum employment. This must be complemented by lowering the inflation target band, adjusting the financial regulatory, macro-prudential and monetary policy frameworks. This will enhance the conduct and credibility of monetary and financial stability policies to achieve the set objectives. These objectives make policy co-ordination pertinent and binding.

Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: La economÃa del desarrollo Desarrollo economico EconomÃa africana economÃa agrÃcola Estudios de desarrollo Clasificación: 330.96 Resumen: Este libro aborda la paradoja entre la preponderancia del hambre en un continente bien dotado de tierras agrÃcolas fértiles, abundante agua dulce y una fuerza laboral vibrante. Como muestran algunas estadÃsticas, cerca del 60% de la tierra cultivable del mundo se encuentra en Ãfrica, que también cuenta con varios rÃos que fluyen en todas las estaciones y abundante agua subterránea. La mayor parte de su fuerza laboral prospera en la agricultura, pero el principal artÃculo de importación del continente son los alimentos. 23 de los 36 paÃses más desnutridos también pertenecen a Ãfrica. Esto ha causado un importante sufrimiento humano innecesario. Este libro va más allá de proporcionar el marco tradicional de recomendaciones de polÃticas, y ofrece un marco aplicado e innovador sobre el cual los formuladores de polÃticas, el sector privado y las instituciones internacionales pueden tomar medidas claras y deliberadas para estimular el sector agrÃcola de Ãfrica, respondiendo asà a la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible. . Nota de contenido: Section 1. Africa's Agricultural Renaissance -- Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. The imperative of investing in agriculture to catalyze national development -- Chapter 3. The Current State of African Agriculture -- Chapter 4. Agriculture-poverty-inequality nexus in Africa: Theory and Evidence -- Chapter 5. Agriculture as a powerhouse of food security in Africa -- Chapter 6. Agriculture as a powerhouse of inclusive development -- Section 2. Towards a Powerhouse: Cases, Actions, and Conclusions -- Chapter 7. Lessons from Asia's agricultural transformation -- Chapter 8. A system dynamic approach to African Agriculture -- Chapter 9. Towards an agricultural powerhouse in Africa -- Chapter 10. Summary and conclusions. Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This book addresses the paradox between preponderance of hunger in a continent that is well endowed with fertile agricultural land, plenty of fresh water and a vibrant labor force. As some statistics show, close to 60% of arable land in the world is located in Africa which also has several rivers flowing in all seasons and plenty of underground water. The bulk of its labor force thrives on agriculture, yet the continent's largest import item is food. 23 of 36 the most malnourished countries also belong in Africa. This has caused significant needless human suffering. This book goes beyond providing the traditional framework of supplying policy recommendations to delivering an applied, innovative framework upon which policymakers, the private sector and international institutions can take clear and deliberate action to stimulate Africa's agricultural sector, thus responding to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
