Suivant l’approche TUNING, des universitaires provenant de divers pays et régions du monde, se sont mis d’accord sur une définition des résultats attendus d’étudiants de 1er cycle universitaire dans les deux disciplines. Ce document de travail présente le produit de leur réflexion s’agissant de l’économie.
Ce rapport a pour objet de susciter la réflexion collective sur les résultats de 1er cycle en économie au niveau transnational. Les membres du groupe de travail AHELO-Tuning ont identifié une variété de résultats d’apprentissage correspondants.
Le document présente également le champ couvert par l’économie, les types de diplômes et de métiers possibles pour le premier et le second cycle. Il reflète par ailleurs les débats sur le rôle des résultats d’apprentissage et réunit les approches ayant servi à les définir. Un résumé des travaux conduits précédemment sur les résultats d’apprentissage en économie est inclus.
Can triangular co-operation make aid more effective? Judging by recent international declarations, governments think it can. The underlying assumption is that better results are achieved when Southern partners and “traditional” donors (i.e. those that gather in the OECD Development Assistance Committee) join forces through triangular co-operation. This article addresses what triangular co-operation is, which countries are involved in it and why; examines the claimed benefits of triangular co-operation vis-à-vis bilateral forms of co-operation; identifies some challenges in rendering triangular co-operation an effective mode of development co-operation; and provides recommendations on how these challenges can be met.
An important feature of the increased share is that it is mostly attributable to higher employment and business income, not capital income, and reflects such factors as the incentive effects of cuts in (top) marginal tax rates and the fact that the remuneration of top executives and finance professionals has become increasingly related to ‘performance’, particularly through the use of stock and stock options.
The policy implications of these trends depend in part on income mobility; and the limited data available suggest that there is significant mobility and that its scale has decreased only slightly over time. They also depend on the likely behavioural response to increased taxation of top incomes, where the empirical literature suggests that taxable income elasticities in some countries can be large. The paper considers the pros and cons of possible reforms in the light of such evidence.
This paper examines the pattern of industry location in Central European Economies during transition with a view of determining whether the geographical concentration of industries has increased, which factors determine location and, finally, whether industrial policies have played a role.
Over the past twenty years, the economies of Central and South East Europe have undergone fundamental changes – the opening of new markets, major policy reforms, deeper intra- and inter-regional economic integration and institutional improvements – which have significantly altered the landscape of economic activity in the region. This paper explores the experience in South East Europe and investigates how this growth has impacted the geographical location of economic activity in the region as well as foreign direct investment flows.
