201. Implications of the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) for developing countries

     

     Stephenson, Sherry / Alexandros Ragoussis / Jimena Sotelo (2016)
     Discussion Paper, 10/2016

     What are the implications of a future TiSA agreement for developing countries? This paper highlights relevant issues in the negotiations and identifies potential risks to non-members, while arguing that TiSA can and should be more development-friendly to avoid deeper segregation of services markets

     Niestroy, Ingeborg (2016)
     Discussion Paper, 9/2016

     How are the EU and its Member States getting ready for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, and which activities have been undertaken so far?

     Paulo, Sebastian / Stephan Klingebiel (2016)
     Discussion Paper, 8/2016

     Middle-income countries are central to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Development cooperation actors will have to act as brokers of collective action to support domestic reforms in and global engagement by this group of countries.

     Scarlato, Margherita / Giorgio d'Agostino (2016)

     This paper analyses from a polical economy perspective the consolidated experience of cash transfers in Latin America and compares it with a variety of models of cash transfers in sub-Saharan Africa. It identifies the main political challenges for the implementation of these programmes in Africa.

206. Government agoraphobia: home bias in developing country procurement markets

     

     Ragoussis, Alexandros (2016)
     Discussion Paper, 5/2016

     Government procurement internationalisation has been the explicit objective of many initiatives at the WTO; even though we know little about how open procurement markets actually are in developing countries, or how effective trade disciplines are to that end. This paper suggests they are not.

207. Self-differentiation of countries’ responsibilities: addressing climate change through intended nationally determined contributions

     

     Mbeva, Kennedy Liti / Pieter Pauw (2016)
     Discussion Paper, 4/2016

     Do INDCs lead to self-differentiation of countries' responsibilities to address climate change? This paper shows that 1) INDCs advance CBDR-RC beyond mitigation to include, at least, adaptation and finance; 2) INDCs advance differentiation beyond the bifurcation of Annex I and non-Annex I countries.

208. Non-economic loss and damage in the context of climate change: understanding the challenges

     

     Serdeczny, Olivia / Eleanor Waters / Sander Chan (2016)
     Discussion Paper, 3/2016

     The concept of non-economic loss and damage (NELD) groups the impacts of climate change that are hard to measure or quantify. This paper outlines the main characteristics of NELD and the specific challenges they pose to research and policy-making at the national and international level.

209. Making retail modernisation in developing countries inclusive: a development policy perspective

     

     Altenburg, Tilman / Elmar Kulke / Aimée Hampel-Milagrosa / Lisa Peterskovsky / Caroline Reeg (2016)
     Discussion Paper, 2/2016

     The diffusion of supermarkets in developing countries increases productivity, but fast roll-out also treatens the livelihoods of millions engaged in traditional stores and their supply chains. We show what governments and retail corporations can do to make retail modernisation inclusive.

210. Can rules of origin in sub-Saharan Africa be harmonised? A political economy exploration

     

     Draper, Peter / Cynthia Chikura / Heinrich Krogman (2016)
     Discussion Paper, 1/2016

     Rules of origin are critical to any preferential trade agreement, determining which firms qualify to take advantage of negotiated concessions. The paper discusses recent developments and debates in Sub-Saharan trade negotiations and argues in favour of liberal rules of origin.
