Decomposing growth in manufacturing trade AKSOY, M. Ataman; NG, Francis This paper decomposes manufacturing import growth rates in 5 large industrial and 8 large developing countries and measures the relative contributions of domestic demand and market share changes for 1986/87, 1991/92, 1996/97, 2001/02, 2006/07 and 2011/12. Imports as a share of domestic value added has increased significantly over this period and account between 70 to 80 percent of import growth during this period. Exports from developing countries and especially China account for the bulk of this increase. China is an exception to this development and its import shares have not increased and have actually decreased during the last period. Finally future trade growth rates are going to decrease. Most of the early growth of trade was caused by trade liberalizations from almost closed economies and initial market shares were very low so that any change led to high trade growth rates. Now that the market shares are already very high, it is almost impossible to replicate similar growth rates.

Global imbalances : what changes with the crisis? CORSETTI, Giancarlo The policy blueprint for global recovery points to the need to reduce global imbalances. This paper discusses how the crisis is changing the environment in which global rebalancing is expected to take place, concerning the world saving glut; the relative size of balance sheets and risk premia across the private and the public sector; the difference between the real interest rate ‘r’ and the growth rate ‘g’, and its consequences for ‘bubbles’ and the macroeconomic costs of fiscal consolidation; the degree of cross border integration of markets. The paper also analyzes the role of global exchange rates in fostering rebalancing and recovery through their adjustment in nontraded wealth across countries.

An early version of the paper was discussed in the conference 'Where are the new engines of growth?', jointly organized by the Italian Ministry of the Economy and Finance and the Centre for Economic Policy Research, Rome, 23-24 July 2009.

Grave sfruttamento in agricoltura e nel lavoro domestico in Italia : i limiti della normativa e delle politiche : alcune proposte di intervento PALUMBO, Letizia Le lavoratrici e i lavoratori migranti impiegati in agricoltura e nel lavoro domestico, settori ad alta presenza di manodopera straniera, sono spesso sottoposti a gravi forme di sfruttamento. Basandosi sui risultati della ricerca svolta nell’ambito del progetto “Trafficking for Labour Exploitation: Assessing Anti-trafficking Interventions in Italy” (TRAFFICKO), questo rapporto mette in luce i limiti della normativa nazionale nonché delle politiche riguardanti lo sfruttamento lavorativo e la tratta, e propone alcune strategie d’intervento che prendono specificamente in considerazione il settore del lavoro domestico e quello agricolo.
