Technology transfer for developing countries:Technology Transfer

On the one hand, technology increasingly plays a central role in all economic activities, with the rapid pace of technological change. On the other hand, all economic and technological activities have become global. The latter feature means that transfers and interchanges of technologies between countries have increased tremendously, and have become vital to their development
Local content policies: Why mining need consistent policy packages to support capabilities development
No full textIn resource-rich countries, local content policies (LCPs) have been implemented but with mixed results. We argue here that once designed, these policies must be anchored in a policy package that assists companies comply with regulations as well as strengthens local capabilities. To illustrate how this can be achieved, we propose a taxonomy of LCPs with examples.</p
Inducing Efficiency in the Use of Foreign Aid: The Case for Incentive Mechanisms
No full textIn this article we point out that one of the main problems in foreign aid allocation is the efficient use of these funds: as resources available for foreign aid are intrinsically scarce, their efficient use would be in the interest of donors, and especially recipient countries. The aim of this paper is to show how it is possible to design incentive schemes which, by relating the allocation of aid to the way it is used, may induce the recipient country to use these resources appropriately. We discuss potential benefits and problems of different contractual forms, showing how comparing the performances of different countries may help to design optimal incentive mechanisms. Finally, we illustrate a proposal of performance conditioning of the grant element, which may help in tackling the efficiency problem. © 1992, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved
