This document discusses factors that influence the effectiveness of aid in promoting growth, reducing poverty, and increasing private investment. It finds that aid works best in countries with good economic management policies. Countries with stable macroeconomic policies and strong institutions see aid increase growth by 0.5% of GDP and private investment by 1.9% of GDP. However, aid has little impact in countries with poor economic management and weak institutions. The document also notes that bilateral aid allocation is often influenced by political interests rather than economic conditions, while multilateral aid focuses more on countries with good policies. For aid to be most effective, it recommends targeting the "high impact countries" that have both high poverty and good economic policies.Doctors20 presentation

Report on the Competitiveness of Puerto Rico's EconomyThe New York Fed
油
Puerto Rico has a number of features that make it a strong and potentially highly competitive economy: Literacy rates and educational attainment continue to improve, the labor force is largely bilingual, the economy is open with a favorable location, and close ties to the U.S. mainland economy provide many advantages. However, Puerto Ricos economic progress has stalled: the Island has been operating below its potential for some time and the competitiveness of the economy continues to deteriorate. The underutilization of labor resources, evidenced by persistently high unemployment and strikingly low labor force participation rates, provides the clearest evidence of a lack of competitiveness.
The challenge to policymakers is to marshal the Islands considerable strengths to raise living standards and restore growth. In this report, we identify five factors that in our view pose significant competitive challenges to the Island:
Improving Labor Market Opportunities: Puerto Ricos labor force participation rate is among the lowest in the world, with less than half of eligible workers participating in the formal economy. Moreover, the unemployment rate has been persistently well above the U.S. mainlands, and is especially high for the young and less educated.
Developing Human Capital: Although the Islands workforce overall is among the worlds most educated, Puerto Rico still lags the U.S. mainland, and there is a particularly high abundance of low-skilled workers. There are also growing concerns that the quality of the education system has deteriorated, especially at the primary and secondary levels.
Reducing the Costs of Doing Business: The business environment in Puerto Rico makes it costly and cumbersome to establish and grow new businesses and expand existing ones. In particular, regulations, the elevated cost of electricity, and an underdeveloped and costly transportation infrastructure are barriers to a more dynamic environment.
Mobilizing Finance for Business Development and Growth: Weak banks and limited alternatives to bank funding have reduced credit availability to local businesses.
Lowering Dependence on a Shrinking Industry: Tax incentives led to an outsized presence of the pharmaceuticals industry on the Island. The incentives have been phased out and employment in the industry has declined. Going forward, there appears to be only a limited prospect for the sector to be a driver of growth.
