The document discusses inequality and poverty in India. It notes that about 7-8% of Indians live below the international poverty line, while over 25% live below the national poverty line. It also discusses the concentration of wealth among a small segment of the population in India and globally. Rising inequality poses social and political challenges, especially when absolute poverty levels remain high. Social entrepreneurship is proposed as one way to help address inequality and create social change.

This document summarizes a study on the impact of rural savings and credit cooperatives (RUSACCOs) in Ofla Wereda, Tigray Region of Ethiopia. The study analyzed four RUSACCOs with a total of 168 members. Statistical analysis found significant positive correlations between RUSACCO participation and members' post-income, savings, loan size, and number of loans obtained. Regression analysis found savings and number of loans obtained were positively related to post-income, while education and years in the RUSACCO were negatively related, contrary to expectations. Non-members cited lack of information and high interest rates as barriers to joining RUSACCOs. Efforts are needed to

This document discusses rising income inequality in the United States and possible policy solutions. It notes that most economists believe the current income distribution should be more equal and that redistribution is a legitimate role of government. Possible solutions proposed include massively increasing higher education spending through grants and loans to advance skills, restructuring the tax code to be more progressive by increasing taxes on capital gains and dividends, and reducing corporate welfare. The document closes by stating the author believes the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction on income inequality but it's not too late to change course.
Michael Durante Bank of America- Camel UpdateMichael Durante
This document provides a CAMEL analysis update for Bank of America as of the first quarter of 2012. It summarizes that BAC has dramatically increased its capital levels, liquidity, and balance sheet strength in response to new regulations. Despite regulatory challenges, BAC has continued improving its asset quality by reducing non-performing loans and charge-offs. The author argues that BAC's earnings power is underrated and held back by excess capital and liquidity required by regulations, and that BAC is significantly undervalued relative to its cash flows and balance sheet strength. The author concludes that BAC merits an overall CAMEL rating of 1 based on its capital adequacy, asset quality, management, earnings, and liquidity

This document summarizes a study examining the relationship between family characteristics/responsibilities and performance of women-owned small businesses in Kenya. The study uses correlation and regression analysis of women business owners' marital status, family roles, spouse support, and gender roles to determine if these factors influence business performance. The results show these family factors have no significant relationship to business performance individually. Marital status also has no significant impact on business performance. The document provides context on women's role in the Kenyan economy and challenges they face in entrepreneurship.

Strong Foundations recommended four areas to better achieve ECCE: 1) move ECCE up agendas, 2) increase public funding and target interventions, 3) upgrade the ECCE workforce, and 4) improve monitoring. However, progress has been insufficient. Six challenges remain: 1) ECCE is neglected in frameworks, 2) policy frameworks are weak, 3) financing is insufficient, 4) benefits do not reach those most in need, 5) quality is variable, and 6) monitoring is inadequate. To make progress, advocacy must be improved to increase political commitment and financing issues must be resolved by examining innovative techniques to increase domestic and international funding for ECCE.
The document summarizes an interview with two bankers from Banco di Brescia about the financial crisis in Europe. Some key points:
- The financial crisis began in the US in 2007-2008 but spread to Europe by 2010, requiring intervention from the European Central Bank to bail out countries like Ireland, Portugal, Greece, and Italy.
- The crisis was underestimated initially and was caused by a lack of balance due to globalized financial flows and too much private and public debt. It restricted liquidity and credit flows.
- Italian banks had to manage the crisis by reducing lending to families and businesses while evaluating worthy enterprises. Some banks were more solid than others.
- To overcome the crisis,

Putting Europe back on track - Report 2010thinkyoung
The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted by ThinkYoung of 259 European future leaders under age 35 regarding the future of the EU economy. The survey asked about whether the EU is recovering, driving future growth, and the types of businesses suited for the future. Key findings include that most respondents believe the EU will be a strong economy by 2020 but barriers like bureaucracy and credit access still challenge businesses. Respondents also feel financial problems remain unresolved and prioritize innovation, regulation, and workforce skills for future growth.

Slides presented in 2012 on the world economic crisis, its causes, effects, and consequences for strategy in the global South. Presented to the November 15-17 colloquium organised by the journal 'Amandla' and by the Alternative Information and Development Centre (AIDC)
This document discusses aspects of global economic crises and provides potential solutions. It notes that before crises, problems are known but reforms face resistance during growth periods. Crises are then assessed superficially and policy responses are too late or not well-coordinated. It analyzes causes like excess leverage, risky investments, lack of transparency, and failure of international coordination. Solutions proposed include stronger financial regulation and supervision, higher capital and liquidity standards, addressing regulatory gaps, reforming accounting rules, and enhancing international cooperation.
- Economies have been impacted differently by Covid-19 based on factors like public health responses, fiscal policy, and existing economic conditions.
- Countries that took earlier and stricter measures to control the virus, like testing, contact tracing, and promoting mask-wearing, have experienced better health and economic outcomes.
- Emerging markets face greater economic challenges due to lack of fiscal space and reliance on capital inflows, leaving them vulnerable to financial market shifts.

Global trends & risks 2015 gpf conference keynoteSean Cleary
This document summarizes global trends and risks from 2015 to 2030. It discusses:
1) Continuing shifts in global economic power from Western nations to Asia and emerging markets. By 2030, over 50% of global GDP is projected to come from the Pacific region.
2) Rising inequality driven by higher returns to capital versus labor. This is exacerbated by disruptive technologies that further increase returns to capital ownership.
3) Breakthrough technologies like robotics, 3D printing, and renewable energy that are changing the economic landscape and reinforcing returns to capital. However, their impacts are difficult to predict and govern.
4) Resurgence of geopolitical tensions in areas like East Asia
1) The IMF faces many challenges as global economic and political power shifts, including rising populism, protectionism, and great power rivalry. It must adapt to remain relevant.
2) Key changes needed are rebalancing voting shares to reflect economic weights, increasing financial resources, and making the top leadership truly global and merit-based.
3) Ultimately, the IMF relies on countries cooperating in a rules-based global system. If that cooperation breaks down, the IMF's role will be difficult to maintain.
The document discusses corporate governance challenges in Italy and steps China is taking to improve governance. Regarding Italy, it summarizes that weak investor protections have led to underdeveloped markets, heavy bank reliance for companies, low growth, high unemployment and debt. For China, it notes governance problems like state ownership and controlling shareholders, and reforms like reducing state involvement, independent audits, and training to attract more foreign investment.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

I. Imbalances in Economics & EU central banks II. Factors & Remedies
2. The rising share by PhD cohorts is stalling
I.1 Imbalances in Economic Research (background)
RePEc Female
Shares by PhD
Cohorts %
Out of 50K+ RePEc authors, 19% are female
Better in European countries: Eastern + Latin
Visual: S. Zignago, BLOG, Banque de France
2
France imbalance < US, but in both countries,
promotion halved by a glass ceiling
3. I.2 Imbalances in EU central banking (focus)
1. In EU central banks (CBs), all staff included, women are 46% but < 1/3 in management
More precisely, 1% of women workforce are senior managers (versus 2% of men)
Highest CBs include Eastern ones but, in FR + UK only, > 10% of all women = managers
3
2. In Banque de France, women’s shares are progressing, but slowly:
• True, 42% of the ‘Conseil general’, 34% of the managers and 47% of the officers
• But only ≈ 23% of senior managers (1/2 in DG economics) and 2017 ≈ 2014:
1/3 of (Dep) Gov., 1/5 of (Dep) Dir. General, 1/4 of (Dep) Directors
=> 2016-2020 goal : from 23 to 30% of senior management (same % as now in RePEc for BDF)
4. 1. Tentative Factors (* abridged from C. SAHM, St. Louis Fed Symposium, Feb. 22, 2018)
- Math? Not sure since STEM better *
(see Amanda BAYER & David WILCOX and Annex)
- Less interest in economics? Possibly *
(see Tatyana AVILOVA & Claudia GOLDIN)
To be related to OECD PISA tests
- Culture, sexism or implicit bias? Likely *
(see Alice WU & Heather SARSONS in Annex)
II. SOME FACTORS & REMEDIES
Ec : higher/rising dissatisfaction between US women
& men responding “very” or “somewhat” (% point)
But why less imbalance in Eastern CBs?
Historical reasons & attractiveness of security
despite lower wages in public institutions
4
Beyond the link between imbalances in economics studies & central-banking:
5. II.2. POTENTIAL REMEDIES
In Economics: need to study, publish (BDF BLOG, 3.8.18: ), encourage, mentor, …
To discuss this, we would need another Panel!
In Central banking, what are the best practices?
- Set corporate gender/diversity policy framework & targets for senior managers
- Establish both a high-level Sponsor and a bottom-up approach
- Inform not only via intranet but also via dedicated parts of the external website
- Participate in diversity events for recruitment
