This study estimates the jobs that can be plausibly done at home in Mexico, using the methodology proposed by Dingel and Neiman (2020a) and the National Occupation and Employment Survey of inegi. The estimate shows us that in Mexico 19.6% of jobs can be done at home, with significant differences between states, types of occupa-tions and even economic sectors. An additional result is that people with higher levels of education have greater possibilities of doing work from home, and that jobs at home is strongly correlated with the gdp per capita and the index of economic complexity of the states. This shows that the most vulnerable jobs due to the contagion by covid-19 are located in primary sectors or elementary activities, in jobs with low levels of educa-tion, which increases the structural differences in the Mexican labor market.

Well-established results indicate that export diversification might be a better growth strategy for an emerging economy as long as its GDP per capita level is smaller than an empirically defined threshold. As average incomes in Russian regions are likely to be far below the threshold, it might be important to estimate their diversification potential. The paper discusses the Atlas of economic complexity for Russian regions created to visualize regional export baskets, to estimate their complexity and evaluate regional export potential. The paper’s results are consistent with previous findings: the complexity of export is substantially higher and diversification potential is larger in western and central regions of Russia. Their export potential might become larger if western and central regions, first, try to join global value added chains and second, cooperate and develop joint diversification strategies. Northern and eastern regions are by contrast much less complex and their diversification potential is small.

Purpose:The paper aims to estimate the effect of inequality on the economic growth of Balkan countries for the period 2001-2017. In addition, the effect of capital stock on GDP per capita (GDPpc) for the Balkan countries was estimated. The low level of financial inclusion on the Balkan region produces an underinvestment of human capital and affects the low-income households, leading to an increase in inequality. Low levels of equality and capital stock negatively impact economic growth.

Using the economic complexity methodology on data for disease prevalence in 195 countries during the period of 1990-2016, we propose two new metrics for quantifying the disease space of countries. With these metrics, we analyze the geography of diseases and empirically investigate the effect of economic development on the health complexity of countries. We show that a higher income per capita increases the complexity of countries’ diseases. We also show that complex diseases tend to be non-ubiquitous diseases that are prevalent in disease-diversified (complex) countries, while non-complex diseases tend to be non-ubiquitous diseases that are prevalent in non-diversified (non-complex) countries. Furthermore, we build a disease-level index that links a disease to the average level of GDP per capita of the countries in which the disease is prevalent. With this index, we highlight the link between economic development and the complexity of diseases and illustrate how increases in income per capita are associated with more complex diseases.

This statistical file is mainly concerned with the latest available data and estimates on gross domestic product (GDP) as one of the basic and useful indicators in assessing the economic performance in Arab countries and worldwide. Tables 1 and 2 provide figures on GDP and GDP per capita of Arab countries at current prices, while Tables 3 and 4 present estimates of GDP and GDP per capita at constant prices. Table 5 is concerned with gross national income (GNI) per capita at current prices, while Table 6 shows figures on GDP growth rates. Figures on the composition of GDP by economic sectors and on the annual change of real GDP are shown in Tables 7 and 8 respectively.

All the countries are facing serious problems affecting their economic growth. In 2020, many countries faced negative GDP per capita growth due to the coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, this chapter investigates how coronavirus (COVID-19) affected international trade (IT) and how this changed over time. Secondly, the authors analyzed how international trade collapsed. Thirdly, the chapter highlights the negative effects of COVID-19 on international trade including economic sectors. Furthermore, it discussed the opportunities and forthcoming policies and what kinds of actions have been taken by the government bodies.

This paper examines the trajectory of growth in the Global South. Before the 1500s all countries were roughly at the same level of development, but from the 1500s Western countries started to grow faster than the rest of the world and PPP GDP per capita by 1950 in the US, the richest Western nation, was nearly 5 times higher than the world average and 2 times higher than in Western Europe. Since 1950 this ratio stabilized - not only Western Europe and Japan improved their relative standing in per capita income versus the US, but also East Asia, South Asia and some developing countries in other regions started to bridge the gap with the West. After nearly half of the millennium of growing economic divergence, the world seems to have entered the era of convergence. The factors behind these trends are analyzed; implications for the future and possible scenarios are considered.

The problem of the Russian economy’s growth rates is considered in the article in the context of Russia’s backwardness regarding GDP per capita in comparison with the developed countries. The author stresses the urgency of modernization of the real sector of the economy and the recovery of the country’s human capital. For reaching these goals short- or mid-term programs are not sufficient. Economic policy needs a long-term (15-20 years) strategy, otherwise Russia will be condemned to economic inertia and multiplying structural disproportions.
