1. Strategies to strengthen socially responsible public procurement practices in German municipalities: a mapping exercise

   

   Müngersdorff, Maximilian / Tim Stoffel (2020)
   Discussion Paper, 8/2020

   German municipalities do not sufficiently use their purchasing power to contribute to socially responsible public procurement (SRPP). We identified success factors and their triggers that support SRPP implementation in German municipalities and thus, their contribution to SDG 12 of the Agenda 2030.

2. The trade effects of the Economic Partnership Agreements between the European Union and the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States: early empirical insights from panel data

   

   Stender, Frederik / Axel Berger / Clara Brandi / Jakob Schwab (2020)
   Discussion Paper, 7/2020

   This paper provides first ex-post empirical evidence on the effects of provisionally applied Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) on trade flows between the European Union (EU) and the African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) group of countries.

3. The role of values for social cohesion: theoretical explication and empirical exploration

   

   Nowack, Daniel / Sophia Schoderer (2020)
   Discussion Paper, 6/2020

   Values are seen as crucial for social cohesion. This discussion paper clarifies this link through a theoretical explication and an empirical exploration. We review the theory, discuss evidence, and provide an exploration of how values influence social and institutional trust.

4. The implementation of the G7 and G20 gender equality goals in Germany

   

   Berger, Axel / Sören Hilbrich / Gabriele Köhler (2020)
   Discussion Paper, 5/2020

   In recent years, the G7 and G20 have placed increasing emphasis on gender equality. This report provides a systematic account of the objectives that both institutions have set out in this area and examines the degree to which these goals have been implemented in Germany.

5. Digitalisation and its impact on SME finance in Sub-Saharan Africa: reviewing the hype and actual developments

   

   Disse, Sabrina / Christoph Sommer (2020)
   Discussion Paper, 4/2020

   Digitalisation is often seen as game changer in finance. This paper reviews and discusses the opportunities and challenges of digitalisation and tech-enabled alternative financing instruments for SMEs. It contrasts the hype around digital finance with actual market developments and trends in Africa.

6. African jobs in the digital era: export options with a focus on online labour

   

   Melia, Elvis (2020)
   Discussion Paper, 3/2020

   Can services exports become the vehicle for African development in the 21st century, the way manufacturing exports were the vehicle for 20th-century East Asia? The growth of Kenya’s online work sector hints that this is possible.

7. China’s growing engagement with the UNDS as an emerging nation: changing rationales, funding preferences and future trends

   

   Ruipeng, Mao (2020)
   Discussion Paper, 2/2020

   China is upgrading its foreign policy by activily participating in global goverance. Its funding to the UN development system has risen rapidly since 2008 and even accelerated in 2013. This paper focuses on China’s engagement with the UNDS, specifically Chinese funding and allocation decisions.

8. Exporting out of China or out of Africa? Automation versus relocation in the global clothing industry

   

   Altenburg, Tilman / Xiao Chen / Wilfried Lütkenhorst / Cornelia Staritz / Lindsay Whitfield (2020)
   Discussion Paper, 1/2020

   China’s position as the biggest garment exporter is threatened by rising wages. This study shows that some production is indeed relocated to lower cost countries, but only a small fraction goes to Africa. In parallel, automation technology evolves, but is too expensive to radically substitute labour.

9. Global imbalances: a job for the G20?

   

   Fischer, Roger A. (2019)
   Discussion Paper, 18/2019

   Excessive current account imbalances accumulate because the global economy cannot effectively transform funds into consumption and productive investment. The G20 is well placed to foster international coordination to reduce global imbalances. To do so its current procedures need to be reformed.

10. Not in my backyard? Welfare gains and social challenges: the impact of refugees on the host population in Uganda

    

    Kuhnt, Jana / Jana Lenze / Ramona Rischke (2019)
    Discussion Paper, 17/2019

    We exploit a natural experiment of three sudden Congolese refugee inflows to causally investigate the impact of an increased exposure to refugee presence on the Ugandan host population. We focus on the effects on female employment, household welfare and social cohesion among the host population.
