Developing countries and innovation: Searching for a new analytical approach

This paper is oriented to explore the new developments in climate action financing within the framework of Just Transition. This discourse is linked to the post COVID-19 recovery and the sustainable finance agenda. The study is done through extensive literature review, combining aspects PRISMA guidelines and the Recursive Content Abstraction (RCA) analytical approach. After presenting the Just Transition framework, we analyze the provisions on financing of the Paris Agreement. Next, the financing gaps are identified with the COVID -19 impact. We pay a special attention on the debt service, the related developing countries difficulties, and the challenges for sub-national governments. Then we analyze the efficient market theory and its distortion in the time of COVID-19 crisis. Based on the topics discussed, at the end the paper presents some final remarks.

The Impact

External borrowing is one of the alternatives to help countries, especially developing ones, to overcome capital scarcity, and in light of the spread of the Corona pandemic that threatens both developed and developing economies. Most developing countries have turned to external borrowing to deal with the repercussions of the Coruna epidemic. Egypt, like other countries affected by the Corona pandemic, therefore this study aimed to study the impact of the Corona pandemic on the expansion of external borrowing in Egypt, where the researcher focused on the size of external loans before and after the pandemic. To achieve this object, the researcher relied in his methodology on the descriptive analytical approach through dealing with information and studies on the subject of the research, with the use of the quantitative approach in presenting data and analyzing it. The study concluded that the Corona pandemic had negatively affected government revenues from foreign exchange in Egypt, which led to a decline in the Egyptian foreign reserve, which leads to expansion in external borrowing and more foreign loans.

Current Standards

The theoretical framework by Diamond, Mortensen and Pissarides (Nobel Award in Economic Sciences, 2010) shows us how generous wages can determine the success in filling job vacancies. The empirical evidence is convincing: larger and more profitable enterprises pay higher wages. Nowadays, large leader companies are investing not only in paying efficient wages to prevent shirking, but also in the improvement of working conditions and even taking a rigorous analytical approach to etiquette. It is a common fact that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) cannot compete in the same way with these high standards. However, recent examples have shown that a suitable work environment, techniques for reducing the stress factors, strategies to create workplaces with a more ethnical diversity and profound benefits for women, as well as the efforts in making the workers feel more liable to their jobs are possible in SMEs and have real benefits for their growth and productivity. At the same time, these approaches could be beneficial for developing countries in a large scale since SMEs play a major role in most of these economies. In this paper, we will conduct a study from the most popular current standards that the best companies promote and suggest some alternatives for SMEs in order to improve these factors.

Crowd Out

This chapter explores the implications of the analytical approach for the design of development assistance. The model suggests a number of margins on which we would expect such assistance to have an effect. The results illustrate the difficulties faced by external donors and actors who are trying to improve the situation in developing countries, particularly in weak and fragile states. Some of the issues are well known, particularly the problem that development support might crowd out rather than crowd in government. It is clear that a great deal more has to be understood about the political equilibrium before any reasoned assessment on aid can be reached. Absent this understanding, the triumph of hope over expectation, so characteristic of more than 50 years of policy experience, is likely to continue.

Group 1

SummaryA statement by ACCA in May 2009 that any corporate governance system should consider factors such as transparency, accountability, fairness and responsibility, raises issues in this field over past few years. There are also a few researches which have been done in the field of international corporate governance standards. This paper chooses a different analytical approach and among its aims is to give some certain systematic conclusions.First, it separates international standards into groups: ICGN and OECD latest principles covered in group 1 while it uses ACCA principles as reference.Second, it identified differences between these above set of standards which are and have been used as reference principles for many countries and organizations.Third, it aims to build a selected comparative set of standards for corporate governance system in accordance to international standards.Last but not least, this paper illustrates some ideas and policy suggestions.
