    Format: 1 Online-Ressource (178 p.)
    ISBN: 9781003337997 , 9781000794380 , 9788793519084
    Content: The availability of many-core computing platforms enables a wide variety of technical solutions for systems across the embedded, high-performance and cloud computing domains. However, large scale manycore systems are notoriously hard to optimise. Choices regarding resource allocation alone can account for wide variability in timeliness and energy dissipation (up to several orders of magnitude). Dynamic Resource Allocation in Embedded, High-Performance and Cloud Computing covers dynamic resource allocation heuristics for manycore systems, aiming to provide appropriate guarantees on performance and energy efficiency. It addresses different types of systems, aiming to harmonise the approaches to dynamic allocation across the complete spectrum between systems with little flexibility and strict real-time guarantees all the way to highly dynamic systems with soft performance requirements. Technical topics presented in the book include: • Load and Resource Models• Admission Control• Feedback-based Allocation and Optimisation• Search-based Allocation Heuristics• Distributed Allocation based on Swarm Intelligence• Value-Based AllocationEach of the topics is illustrated with examples based on realistic computational platforms such as Network-on-Chip manycore processors, grids and private cloud environments

    Content: International Finance Corporation (IFC) conducted a survey to identify opportunities and provide recommendations for facilitating finance for women small and medium enterprise (SME) entrepreneurs. Various stakeholders were interviewed during the survey which included 500 women SME entrepreneurs, women centric business associations, relevant government organizations as well as other associated institutions. Given the lack of gender based assessments in access to credit for women SME entrepreneurs in Bangladesh, the survey report aimed at identifying the potential opportunities for facilitating finance to these entrepreneurs. This also involved developing comprehensive knowledge of the environment that women entrepreneurs operate in and in estimating their current financing gap. Alongside this, the study sought to highlight the major challenges faced by these entrepreneurs that prevent a satisfactory uptake of loan products

    Series Statement: Agriculture global practice technical assistance paper
    Content: Even after several decades of green revolution, malnutrition continues to be a major development challenge in much of South Asia, and India has a major share of the malnourished people in the region. For nutrition goals to be integrated into extension the curricula provided to current and future agricultural extension agents must be revisited. As part of the South Asia Food and Nutrition Security Initiative (SAFANSI), this paper focuses on approaches to incorporating such nutrition content into the agricultural extension curriculum. Three state agricultural universities in Tamil Nadu, united Andhra Pradesh, and Bihar were used as case studies for the curriculum review. Through these case studies, face-to-face consultations at the national level down to program implementation at the village level have been developed. These include consultative workshops, and a conceptual framework and strategy for incorporating nutrition into extension curriculum development to improve nutrition outcomes. This strategy, detailed in this report, includes opportunities for collaboration from the national level to the community level. Specific lessons and follow-up actions are outlined that may be useful for other South Asian countries. The paper is organized as follows: chapter one gives introduction. Chapter two reviews current literature on agriculture-nutrition linkages to develop a conceptual framework for integrating nutrition into agricultural extension programs. Research methods and approaches are given in chapter three. Results and discussions are given in chapter four. Lessons from the case studies are presented in chapter five, and chapter six consists of concluding remarks

    Toward a Blue Economy : A Promise for Sustainable Growth in the Caribbean (2016)

    Format: 1 Online-Ressource
    Content: The report is structured in four chapters that together, responds to the fundamental questions raised by decision-makers within finance ministries and central banks across the Caribbean. Chapter one provides a working definition of the ocean economy and the blue economy concepts, and explains why these terms are growing in importance globally and specifically across the Caribbean. Chapter two deconstructs the ocean economy, suggesting that a significant portion of the economic value derived from the ocean is based on the natural resources and ecological systems that function in economic terms as the ocean economy’s natural capital asset base. Chapter three attempts to reconcile two global and Caribbean region-specific trends, a growing ocean economy and declining natural capital asset base, and suggests that reformed and integrated policy packages are necessary for sustainable development of countries’ ocean space and long-term growth from their ocean economies. Chapter four offers an approach for consideration by decision-makers to serve as a guide in enabling a transition toward a Caribbean blue economy

    Guns, Books, or Doctors? Conflict and Public Spending in Haiti : Lessons from Cross-Country Evidence (2016)

    Series Statement: Policy Research Working Paper No. 7681
    Content: Haiti's economic development has been held back by a history of civil conflict and violence. With donor assistance declining from its exceptional levels following the 2010 earthquake, and concessional financing growing scarce, Haiti must learn to live with tighter budget constraints. At the same time, the United Nations forces that have provided security in the past decade are scaling down. Against this backdrop, this paper explores the conditions under which public spending can minimize violent conflict, and draws possible lessons for Haiti. Drawing on an empirical analysis of 148 countries over the period 1960-2009, simulations for Haiti suggest that increases in military spending would be associated with a higher risk of conflict, an observation in line with Haiti's own history. Greater welfare expenditure (education, health, and social assistance), by contrast, would be associated with lower risk of conflict

    Financial Channels, Property Rights, and Poverty : A Sub-Saharan African Perspective (2016)

    Series Statement: Policy Research Working Paper No. 7559
    Content: Studies on the link between financial development and poverty have been inconclusive. Some claim that deeper financial sectors should improve the allocation of capital by allowing entrepreneurs greater access to finance, which should particularly favor the poor. Others argue that improvements in the financial system primarily benefit the rich and politically connected. The literature has also been ambiguous about the channels through which finance may be associated with lower poverty (deposits versus credit). Looking at a sample of 37 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa from 1992 through 2006, the paper suggests that financial deepening is associated with lower poverty through different channels depending on the strength of property rights. In the absence of well-defined and enforced property rights, wider access to saving and risk-sharing instruments is accompanied by a reduction in poverty. Only once property rights grow stronger is credit associated with lower poverty

    Short-Term Effects of India's Employment Guarantee Program on Labor Markets and Agricultural Productivity (2016)

    Series Statement: Policy Research Working Paper No. 7665
    Content: This paper uses a large national household panel from 1999/2000 and 2007/08 to analyze the short-term effects of India's Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme on wages, labor supply, agricultural labor use, and productivity. The scheme prompted a 10-point wage increase and higher labor supply to nonagricultural casual work and agricultural self-employment. Program-induced drops in hired labor demand were more than outweighed by more intensive use of family labor, machinery, fertilizer, and diversification to crops with higher risk-return profiles, especially by small farmers. Although the aggregate productivity effects were modest, total employment generated by the program (but not employment in irrigation-related activities) significantly increased productivity, suggesting alleviation of liquidity constraints and implicit insurance provision rather than quality of works undertaken as a main channel for program-induced productivity effects

    Can Labor Market Imperfections Explain Changes in the Inverse Farm Size–Productivity Relationship ? longitudinal evidence from rural India (2016)

    Series Statement: Policy Research Working Paper No. 7783
    Content: A large national farm panel from India covering a quarter century (1982, 1999, and 2008) is used to show that the inverse farm size-yield relationship weakened significantly over time, despite an increase in the dispersion of farm sizes. Key reasons are substitution of capital for labor in response to nonagricultural labor demand. Family labor was more efficient than hired labor in 1982-99, but not in 1999–2008. In line with labor market imperfections as a key factor, separability of labor supply and demand decisions cannot be rejected in the second period, except in villages with very low nonagricultural labor demand

    Series Statement: Policy Research Working Paper No. 7604
    Content: This paper investigates the effect of access to finance on job growth in 50,000 firms across 70 developing countries. Using the introduction of credit bureaus as an exogenous shock to the supply of credit, the paper finds that increased access to finance results in higher employment growth, especially among micro, small, and medium enterprises. The results are robust to using firm fixed effects, industry measures of external finance dependence, and propensity score matching in a complementary panel data set of more than four million firms in 29 developing countries. The findings have implications for policy interventions targeted to produce job growth in micro, small, and medium enterprises
