    Content: "This comprehensive overview of the modern Chinese economy by a noted expert on China's economic development offers a quality and breadth of coverage not found in any other English-language text. In The Chinese Economy, Barry Naughton provides both an engaging, broadly focused introduction to China's economy since 1949 and original insights based on his own extensive research. The book will be an essential resource for students, teachers, scholars, business people, and policymakers. It is suitable for classroom use for undergraduate or graduate courses." "After presenting background material on the pre-1949 economy and the industrialization, reform, and market transition that have taken place since, the book examines different aspects of the modern Chinese economy. It analyzes patterns of growth and development, including population growth and the one-child family policy, the rural economy, including agriculture and rural industrialization; industrial and technological development in urban areas; international trade and foreign investment; macroeconomic trends and cycles and the financial system; and the largely unaddressed problems of environmental quality and the sustainability of growth." "The text is notable also for placing China's economy in interesting comparative contexts, discussing it in relation to other transitional or developing economies and to such advanced industrial countries as the United States and Japan. It provides a broad historical and macro perspective as well as a focused examination of the actual workings of China's complex and dynamic economic development. Interest in the Chinese economy will continue to grow as China becomes an increasingly important player on the world's stage. This book will be the standard reference for understanding and teaching about the next economic superpower. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.

    Content: This book uses relatable case studies to dispense practical financial advice to educators. Written by an expert team of four award-winning economics educators, the book provides an engaging narrative specifically designed for teachers and their unique financial needs. Educators are attracted to the teaching profession for numerous reasons. Prospective teachers enter the profession believing it offers a certain level of job security and good benefits, usually including a defined-benefit, state-funded pension. But things are changing. Pensions vary widely from state to state and even within school districts. Many private schools do not offer even basic 403(b) saving plans and, when they do, they are often not very generous. Much the same can be said of many charter schools and private colleges and universities. The book consists of fourteen chapters covering a comprehensive group of topics specifically curated for educators teaching at the K-12 and university level, including saving for retirement, managing debt, investment strategies, and real estate. Each chapter begins with a case study of an educator in a specific financial situation, which sets the scene for the introduction and explanation of key concepts. The chapters include a Q&A section to address common questions and conclude with a "Financial 911" focusing on a financial emergency related to the chapter topic

    Content: The United Nations (UN) Urbanization Prospects report (2009) indicated that the world will become predominantly urban in a few years. The increasing interest in urban affairs (policy and praxis), the renewal mission and the shift in global economic growth towards China and India fueled increased interest in urbanization, services and investment needs. Following the history of various committees or institutions mandated (Rakesh Mohan Committee, 1996; HUDCO, 2000) to estimate aggregate levels of total annual investment requirements for urban infrastructure, the High Powered Expert Committee (HPEC) was tasked (2008) by the Planning Commission to estimate the demand for urban infrastructural services, along with other issues relevant to the conceptualization and management of these. Onsite sanitation systems are usually invested in by households and maintained by them through access to market service providers (for example, masons, septage collectors, and so on). Apart from state-assisted capital investments (like in the Integrated Low Cost Sanitation Scheme for the poor households), these capital investments are mostly private and from households. In the coming years, without the urban household sanitation structure will continue to exhibit a mix of different sanitation technologies and arrangements, onsite, sewered, shared/community/public and household ownership. The composition could show variation depending on the incentives provided at the city level through programmatic interventions using behavior change and market-linked approaches. The objective of this study was to review and refine earlier work on financing needs of the urban sanitation sector and, based thereon, project investment requirements for addressing the full cycle of sanitation in urban areas, that is, providing universal access (for resident households and floating populations), and for safe collection, conveyance and treatment of human excreta

    Content: The 2007 financial crisis has exposed major weaknesses in global financial systems, including the threat to financial stability posed by banks that were too big, interconnected and complex to be closed or go bankrupt. As a result, many banks have been rescued using public support, allowing for an uninterrupted provision of their services, but effectively shifting (most) of their losses to taxpayers instead of banks' owners or investors. The political realities following the bail-out of banks called for game-changing regulation to reduce both the likelihood and the impact of failure.The Banking Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) became one of the most important building blocks of the Banking Union. The BRRD is the outcome of a long negotiation process. The new bank recovery and resolution framework has wide reaching implications, both within the EU but also for countries with banking relationships with the EU. This Guidebook aims to explain the scope, the principles, and the rationale of the BRRD and related secondary legislation and guidance. Expert contributors, including lawyers and academics, share in this Guidebook their experience of and insights to the BRRD negotiation process, recovery and resolution planning, adoption of resolution decisions and the negotiation of bail-in. The Guidebook also raises awareness of discretionary or non-regulated areas and provides some initial thoughts for further development and possible implementation challenges. These challenges include but are not limited to the management of potential conflict of interests, the application of the public interest test, the choice of resolution tools, and the interaction between cross-border regulations. The Guidebook, together with the accompanying case studies, should help FinSAC client countries understand the resolution process and identify the impact that the BRRD will have on their own financial systems

    Series Statement: Anti-Money Laundering / Combating Financing of Terrorism Assessment
    Content: The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) requires national governments to demonstrate an understanding of the money laundering risks in the country. Such an understanding is the foundation for effective control of money laundering under the risk-based approach the FATF calls for. The authors analyzed the National Risk Assessments (NRAs) published by eight systemically important countries to test whether they demonstrate that basic understanding and to draw lessons for national governments from those NRAs. The eight show very different conceptualizations, analytic approaches, and products. Each raises serious issues regarding the risk assessment methodology. For example, most relied largely on expert opinion, which they solicited in ways that are inconsistent with the well-developed methodology for making use of expert opinion. They misinterpreted data from suspicious activity reports and failed to provide risk assessments relevant for policy makers. Only one described the methodology employed. Although the challenge of conducting strong risk assessments is great, given the difficulty of estimating the extent of money laundering in any sector, the findings based on this limited sample point to ways to improve substantially on existing practices. The report concludes with a set of suggestions for (international) policy makers and those conducting NRAs for improving risk assessments. Suggestions include increased clarity about the conceptualization of risk, transparency about data and methods so that each country can learn from others, and the adoption of more formal and standardized methods of eliciting expert opinion

    Series Statement: World Bank E-Library Archive
    Content: George D. Woods, President of the World Bank Group, spoke about the proposal to markedly increase the funds available to the World Bank's affiliate, the International Development Association (IDA) and the financial resources going to the new regional development banks working in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The United Nations Development Program is also trying to raise the level of the government contributions it receives. Governments must soon decide about these measures of support for multilateral institutions. If the momentum of economic growth in countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America is lost, if leaders in these regions lose heart, then the prospect is for deterioration in world affairs that in the end will inevitably be of the highest concern in the industrial countries themselves. This need not be the future. And it will not be the future if the industrialized countries give development finance a realistic priority among their other concerns and responsibilities. He spoke about the difference between tied aid and untied aid. He discussed the Development Assistance Committee consultative group and aid coordination. The Bank acts as an honest broker and expert adviser
