Monetary and fiscal policies in the United States
No full textThe US has been hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic and both human lives and livelihoods have been severely affected. This chapter examines the monetary and fiscal policy measures the US authorities have implemented in order to cope with the COVID-19 Crisis. The Fed responded proactively by introducing new credit facilities, including the Main Street Lending Program, to support the most vulnerable sectors while maintaining the smooth functioning of financial markets. Fiscal measures – larger than those delivered during the Global Financial Crisis – include income tax rebates and enhanced unemployment benefits and helped lessen the lasting effects caused by the shutdown in economic activity. While these policies have brought some success in cushioning the adverse impacts of the pandemic, the massive monetary and fiscal policy measures entail substantial risks associated with low-for-long interest rates and a soaring debt level.TRU
Integrating ICT in Elections: How Uganda Implemented Biometric Voter Registration, 2001–2016
Get PDFMaintaining an accurate, comprehensive voter registry is a crucial component of electoral processes, and critical to carrying out an election. An accurate voter register is an essential component in protecting voting rights of qualified voters (United Nations, 2005). Voter registration represents a vital government function, particularly after conflict, in order to ratify eligibility of voters, prevent multiple voting, and ensure that eligible voters enjoy their right to vote. This case study examines how the Uganda Electoral Commission (EC) overhauled its voter registry between 2000 and 2016, moving from a handwritten, manual compilation of information to a biometric register
The Impact of TVET (technical and vocational education and training) on income growth and employment of trainees
Get PDFThesis(Master) -- KDI School: Master of Development Policy, 2021After the introduction of human capital theory, education and training is regarded as an instrument for enhancing human capital; and it developed into concept of TVET, Technical and Vocational Education and Training. The existing studies are conflicting on the effectiveness of TVET. Some scholars argue TVET stimulates economic growth, improves employment and wage of workers, and reduces poverty. However, due to the occupation-specific characteristics of skills developed from TVET, other scholars argue that the effectiveness of TVET last only for short periods.
This study is to find the factors of TVET that can be effective in matching skills and job. This study uses the data collected from Kenya Life Panel Survey (KLPS), which is a longitudinal dataset of 7,527 respondents from 2003 to 2019. The data includes education, health, socioeconomic, demographic and other outcomes from students of primary schools in western Kenya. This study used the panel data studies to find the short-term and long-term effect from TVET.
This study finds that unemployed trainees have higher employability in the short run over employed trainees. According to the result of this study, however, trainees without work experience and training experience have a higher income growth rate in short run compared to experienced trainees It contradicts the assumption of TVET in that work-related experience strengthens the individual’s skill and thereby reflected in higher income. This study explained the findings can be attributable to mismatch between skill and job and limitation of training at individual-level. Also, this study suggests recommendations for future researchI.

the impact of female legislators on healthcare expenditure in Latin America and the Caribbean
Get PDFThesis(Master) -- KDI School: Master of Public Policy, 2021Female parliamentarians are known to prioritize social, and welfare needs in their agenda. Previous studies have found that female representatives in politics lead to increased spending on education, as well as healthcare for the poor. Increased expenditure in healthcare benefits everyone in a society. This study aims to identify whether increases in female representatives in national parliamentarians influence the general government expenditure on healthcare. The paper analyzes cross-sectional time-series data for 29 countries from 2000-2018 within the Latin American and Caribbean region. To examine the relationship between the proportion of seats in national parliaments held by women and government healthcare expenditure, a panel regression model is utilized. The study finds a highly significant positive relationship between the two variables. The overall findings of this paper suggest that national governments should implement policies directed at increasing gender parity in their national parliaments.CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

focusing on the fear of missing out (FOMO) effect
Get PDFThesis(Master) -- KDI School: Master of Public Policy, 2021The main objective of this study is to empirically investigate the existence of the herding phenomena in the cryptocurrency market, and if so, explore whether the Fear of Missing Out affect such phenomena. To that end, the data utilized are the cryptocurrency price data, the Economic Policy Index (EPU Index) of the United States, and the Fear and Greed Index (FGI). Thirty-seven cryptocurrencies daily price data cover from January 1st, 2014, to August 31st, 2021. The EPU Index indicates the degree of an uncertain economic policy environment that
the investors face. Whereas the FGI is the proxy for the Fear of Missing Out phenomenon in
the market. The core methodology is Cross-Sectional Absolute Deviation (CSAD). Based on
the structural break detected in the market trend, a 60-days rolling window CSAD regression is applied. The main findings are as follow. First, eight separate periods of herding are observed in the total sample period. Second, uncertain sentiment on economic policy increased the probability of herding occurrence. Third, a higher level of greed that prevails in the cryptocurrency market also increases the likelihood of herding. Fourth, the herding phenomenon did not mean a significantly different level of return on investment, compared to the return under the non-herding period.1. Introduction

On the issues of sustaining bilateral trade between Mongolia and the Republic of Korea (FTA)
Get PDFThesis(Master) -- KDI School: Master of Public Policy, 2021ince its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in January 1997, Mongolia has continued to reshape its economic, business, and legal environments in accordance with its WTO commitments, as well as expand economic ties with its major trading partners, such as the Republic of Korea (ROK). Bilateral trade between Korea and Mongolia increased by 146 times since the two countries established diplomatic relations, from USD 2.7 million in 1990 to USD 395 million in 2011.
However, Mongolia's exports are heavily reliant on a few agricultural and mining products and is experiencing a crisis as a result of insufficient exports. At the strategic level, Mongolia has attempted to negotiate a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with its key trading partners in order to sustain long-term economic growth.
The first purpose of this research is to examine Mongolia's prerequisites for negotiating an FTA with ROK and its other key trading partners using Gravity Model and Trade Indicators. A major goal of the study is to come up with a possible strategy for Mongolia to encourage the bilateral trade through FTA with Korea.I. INTRODUCTION
