Background. In order to stimulate lending, central banks use targeted refinancing operations, which allows lowering interest rates and increase the liquidity of the banking system. Taking the current state of bank lending in Ukraine, the development and implementation of effective lending stimulation program, namely targeted refinancing operations, is a crucial for further economic development. The aim of the article is to conduct a comparative analysis of lending programs in some developed countries, identify the shortcomings of the current lending stimulation program in Ukraine and develop a concept of a mechanism to stimulate lending by monetary policy measures in Ukraine. Materials and methods. The basis for the research is general and special scientific methods. Analysis, synthesis and systematization were used to assess targeted lending approaches in some countries, identification of shortcomings of the current lending stimulation program and further development of a concept for a targeted long-term refinancing mechanism in Ukraine. Methods of analytical and logical generalizations were also used for the research. Results. Targeted refinancing operations are widely used for lending stimulation in different countries. Depending on the final goals and the state of economy, these operations may differ in their conditions. Nonetheless, the most of the countries prefer monetary policy as a main driver for lending stimulation. In spite of that, currently in Ukraine the fiscal policy was selected as a driver for lending stimulation. The paper proposes to change this approach in view of its shortcomings and to use targeted refinancing of banks instead. Conclusion. The implementation of targeted refinancing in Ukraine will help to reduce the cost of lending and stimulate the development of prioritized sectors of the economy and decrease the dollarization of the economy. Considering the bearing risks, it is proposed to limit the total amount of targeted lending operations; limit the banks allowed to participate in targeted lending; extend the list of appropriate collateral against target refinancing.

This chapter recaps the main themes of the volume, ie that the international law of the global economy is in a state of disorder. Claims about the justice, fairness, or benefits of the current state of international law as it relates to the global economy are fanciful. A more credible picture emerges when one considers who is protected, against what, and those relations that are valued and those that are not. Moreover, these claims above all require a suspension of a reflective attitude about what international law actually says and does. When it comes to international economic law, power is masked behind a veil of neutrality when it certainly is not neutral in the interests it protects and offends. As for international human rights law, it overlooks the ways in which it props up extreme capitalism foreclosing the possibility of transformative structural change to neoliberal capitalism. In its most radical areas, human rights norms have been blocked from making demands on the design of the global economy precisely because of their transformative potential. Among the central critiques of international law presented in this book is that international law must be justifiable to those who are subject to it.

The twenty-first century is being touted as the Asian century. With its stable economy, good governance, education system, and above all the abundant natural resources, will Australia to take its place in the global economy by becoming more entrepreneurial and accelerating its rate of growth, or will it get infected with the so-called Dutch disease? It has been successful in managing trade ties with fast-developing economies like China and India as well as developed countries like the United States. It has participated in the growth of China by providing iron ore and coal. Because it is a low-risk country, it has enabled inflow of large foreign capital investments. A lot will depend on its capability and willingness to invest the capital available in entrepreneurial ventures, its ability to capture the full value chain of natural resources, and to export the finished products instead of raw materials, while building a robust manufacturing sector.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop an analytical framework that challenges the condescending view of multinationals of emerging countries. In this paper, it is showed that emerging multinational companies (EMNCs) developed valuable resources that leveraged their internationalization strategies. Design/methodology/approach – An exploratory approach was used to investigate the internationalization strategies of EMNCs. A qualitative study was built on secondary data sources, particularly analysis of cases of the internationalization of Latin American companies. Findings – The internationalization strategies deployed by EMNCs are similar to the strategies of traditional multinationals (firms of developed countries). Similarly, EMNCs exploit, acquire or defend their resources in foreign markets. Additionally, the selection of each strategy depends on the availability, transferability and substitutability of the resources involved in the internationalization. Research limitations/implications – The traditional approaches that study the role of resources in the internationalization of the EMNCs have some shortcomings. It is worth conducting additional research including the approach developed here to advance in the comprehension of the behavior of EMNCs. Practical implications – Managers must identify and develop key resources to invest abroad. Additionally, managers need to take into account the characteristics of the resources of their firms to select an adequate strategy abroad. Originality/value – This paper shows that EMNCs are not resource laggards. Consequently, theoretical and empirical evidence is provided to advance the development of comprehensive theories of the internationalization of EMNCs. This paper offers academics and practitioners with a new focus to analyze the internationalization of EMNCs which are recognized as a driving force of the global economy.

This study investigates the impact of the international openness in tourism services trade on wage inequality between highly skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled workers in the tourism industry. The sample covers 10 developed countries and expands over 15 years. A cointegrated panel data model and an error correction model were used to distinguish between the short- and long-run effects. The results are compared to those of openness of business services and manufactured goods. The findings point out that tourism increases wage inequality at the expense of the least skilled workers in the long run and the short run.
