AbstractThis paper investigates the role of socioeconomic considerations in the formation of official COVID-19 reports. To this end, we employ a dataset that contains 1,159 preprocessed indicators from the World Bank Group GovData360 and TCdata360 platforms and an additional 8 COVID-19 variables generated based on reports from 138 countries. During the analysis, a rank-correlation-based complex method is used to identify the time- and space-varying relations between pandemic variables and the main topics of World Bank Group platforms. The results not only draw attention to the importance of factors such as air traffic, tourism, and corruption in report formation but also support further discipline-specific research by mapping and monitoring a wide range of such relationships. To this end, an R Notebook is attached that allows for the customization of the analysis and provides up-to-date results.

The article analyzes the BRICS countries’ participation in the management reform of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group as an institutional framework of the Jamaica Monetary System (Jamaica Plan 1976). As the novelty of the study, the author considers this problem in the context of the transition from interstate regulation to global financial and economic regulation. The definition proposed by the author (broader than the term “global financial regulation”) is due to a new assessment of the financial risks. The article substantiates the participation of the BRICS countries (as well as all members of the IMF and the World Bank) in the reform and the interest in the relative stabilization of the world economy and Finance. The author grounded the assessment of the group of 20 (G20) as the initiator of this reform in the context of the global crisis and the gradual weakening of the control of the implementation of the recommendations of the summits. Based on the position of the G20 on an integrated analysis of the role of the Bretton Woods institutions in the Jamaica Plan 1976, the author gave a comparative description of the relationship of their functions and role in the functioning of the two global currency systems over 70 years. The author made conclusions about the effectiveness of the BRICS countries’ participation in the IMF and the World Bank Group governance reform regarding the increase of their share in quotas and votes, and their representation in the form of appointment of their own Executive Director to the IMF Executive Board. It has been revealed the negative impact of the transformation of the role of these institutions in the global financial and economic regulators in connection with the introduction of integrated currency supervision over the preparation and use of the sovereign currency reserves of the countries. Summing up, the author formulated proposals for further strengthening the positions of the BRICS countries in the management of the IMF and the World Bank on the basis of improving the new formula for calculating quotas introduced in 2008.

AbstractThe award committee has chosen Paul Collier as the winner of the 2016 Lewis Fry Richardson Award in particular in recognition of his contributions to the study of civil war. His famous paper on “Greed and grievance in civil war” – published with Anke Hoeffler in 2004, but circulating in draft form since the late 1990s – has been cited over 1000 times in the Web of Science as of mid-July 2016, and has over 5000 citations in Google Scholar. The jury also highlighted the key role of Collier’s work reviving academic research on civil war in the late 1990s, the broader impact of the World Bank group led by Collier in spurring advances in the field as well as stimulating important data collection efforts, as well as his central role in popularizing insights of academic research to a broader audience.
