OECD's 2010 survey of Chile's economy. This edition focuses on four key issues currently challenging Chile: overcoming the crisis; strengthening fiscal policy; fostering productivity growth, and improving the quality of Chile's schools. The survey finds that Chile is now emerging from the crisis and that the financial system has held up well, but that some areas of regulation and the fiscal framework need to be strengthened. Chile needs to enhance productivity growth, broaden innovation policy beyond basic research, and improve the quality of education.
National Accounts data is more than just GDP. This book, to be published annually, and its related database present national accounts in a way that reflects the richness inherent in the data and the value that represents for analysts and policymakers. It responds to the Stiglitz Commission’s recommendation that policymakers look beyond GDP to get a fuller picture of the entire economy.
In particular it uses national accounts data to show important findings about households and governments, including important new series on gross adjusted household income and non-financial fixed assets of households. It presents each of the series on a two-page spread, with the page on the left providing information on the meaning, usage, and comparability of the data and the page on the right presenting data from 1995 onwards for the OECD countries as well as graphics highlighting differences among countries.
This book includes OECD’s unique StatLink service, which enables readers to download Excel® versions of tables and graphs. Look for the StatLink at the foot of each table and graph.
This 2010 edition of OECD's periodic review of China's economy finds that China's spectacular expansion has continued in recent years, making for impressive improvements in living standards. The slowdown associated with the global financial and economic crisis was contained by massive fiscal and monetary policy stimulus, which has boosted domestic demand. This survey includes chapters on recent achievements and prospects, monetary policy, financial reforms, product market regulation and competition, inequality, the labour market, old-age security and the health care system.
Der OECD-Wirtschaftsausblick analysiert die aktuelle Wirtschaftslage und untersucht, welche wirtschaftspolitischen Maßnahmen in den einzelnen Mitgliedstaaten zur Förderung einer nachhaltigen Erholung erforderlich sind. Die vorliegende Ausgabe behandelt die Aussichten bis Ende 2011 sowohl für die OECD-Länder als auch für ausgewählte Nicht-OECD-Volkswirtschaften. Der Wirtschaftsausblick, der durch ein breites Spektrum ländervergleichender Statistiken ergänzt wird, stellt ein in seiner Art einzigartiges Instrument dar, um sich über die weltwirtschaftliche Entwicklung auf dem Laufenden zu halten.
Neben den in jeder Ausgabe regelmäßig behandelten Themen enthält der Wirtschaftsausblick diesmal ein Sonderkapitel mit dem Titel „Die Automobilindustrie in der Krise und danach“. Darin werden folgende Punkte behandelt:
- Wie eng ist der Konjunkturzyklus der Automobilindustrie mit dem der Gesamtwirtschaft verflochten?
- Wie wurde die Automobilindustrie von der Krise getroffen?
- Wie sind die Aussichten für den Automobilabsatz?
Cet ouvrage examine les dynamiques sociales, économiques et environnementales qui, dans les pays de l’OCDE, peuvent se conjuguer et attirer des migrants appartenant à des catégories et horizons divers, ainsi que les forces qui peuvent convaincre de quitter son pays d’origine ou d’y rester. En analysant ces différents facteurs d’attraction et de rejet, et en construisant cinq scénarios relatifs aux migrations futures, cet ouvrage s’efforce d’apporter des éclaircissements sur une série de questions essentielles. Quels facteurs seront les principaux déterminants des flux migratoires mondiaux ? Quels pays de l’OCDE seront particulièrement attrayants aux yeux des migrants ? Où, en dehors de la zone OCDE, les pressions migratoires seront-elles particulièrement fortes ? À quel type de problématique liée aux migrations les responsables de l’action publique risquent-ils d’être confrontés à l’approche de l’année 2030 ?

The world is currently facing the aftermath of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Going for Growth 2010 examines the structural policy measures that have been taken in response to the crisis, evaluates their possible impact on long-term economic growth, and identifies the most imperative reforms needed to strengthen recovery. In addition, it provides a global assessment of policy reforms implemented in OECD member countries over the past five years to boost employment and labour productivity. Reform areas include education systems, product market regulation, agricultural policies, tax and benefit systems, health care and labour market policies. The internationally comparable indicators provided enable countries to assess their economic performance and structural policies in a wide range of areas.

La edición del Manual de estadísticas de patentes de la OCDE recoge los avances más recientes en este campo. Proporciona directrices para la utilización de los datos de patentes como indicadores de la ciencia y la tecnología, así como recomendaciones para la recopilación e interpretación de los indicadores de patente. Su objetivo es mostrar para qué pueden y para qué no pueden ser utilizadas las estadísticas de patentes, y cómo deben contabilizarse para obtener la mayor información acerca de las actividades de ciencia y tecnología (CyT) al tiempo que se reduzca el ruido estadístico y el sesgo. Finalmente, describe cómo los datos de patentes pueden emplearse en el análisis de una amplia colección de temas relacionados con el cambio técnico y la actividad de patentes, incluidos los vínculos entre industria-ciencia, estrategias de las empresas a la hora de patentar, internacionalización de la investigación e indicadores del valor de las patentes.
This 2010 edition of OECD's periodic survey of the German economy includes chapters covering emerging from the crisis, facilitating structural change and preventing long-term unemployment, bringing public finances back to a sustainable path, lessons from the financial crisis for the banking system, and structural reforms to lift potential growth in a globalised world.
OECD's periodic survey of the Czech economy. This 2010 edition includes chapters covering the challenge of fiscal consolidation after the crisis, pro-growth tax and benefit reform, and improving the business environment. The survey finds that the Czech economy was severely affected by the global downturn, owing to its high degree of openness and integration in global production chains. The fiscal position was also hit hard, prompting a rapid shift in policy from stimulus to consolidation. The medium-term challenges facing the country are principally concerned with creating conditions of rapid convergence with advanced OECD economies by restoring the sustainability of public finances and improving the business environment.
A joint production by six international organizations, this manual explores the conceptual and theoretical issues that national statistical offices should consider in the daily compilation of export and import price indices. Intended for use by both developed and developing countries, it replaces guidance from the United Nations that is now more than a quarter-century old and thus badly outdated. The chapters cover many topics; they elaborate on the different practices currently in use, propose alternatives whenever possible, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative. Given its comprehensive nature, the manual is expected to satisfy the needs of many users in addition to national statistical offices and international organizations, particularly businesses, policymakers, and researchers.
