Environmental Infrastructure

With the rapid improvement of urbanization and the acceleration of urban-rural integration, environmental problems in China call for urgent actions. One of the important factors of non-effective treatment of Chinese urban pollution is due to the lagging of construction of urban environmental infrastructure. By analysis, this paper concludes that the limited number of investment entities, rare amount of capital investment and poor investment effectiveness account for the slow pace of construction of urban environmental infrastructure in China. Considering this, the government should allocate a larger share of fiscal capital investment, adopt preferential taxation policy and green financial policy, and perform public-private cooperation to smoothen the construction of urban environmental infrastructure.

The Impact

Subject. We assess the impact of tight financial and monetary policy of the government of the Russian Federation and the Bank of Russia on the level of household income and poverty reduction in Russia. Objectives. The purpose of the study is to analyze the results of financial and monetary policy in Russia and determine why the situation with household income and poverty has not changed for the recent six years, and the GDP growth rate in Russia is significantly lagging behind the global average. Methods. The study employs methods of analysis of scientific and information base, and synthesis of obtained data. The methodology and theoretical framework draw upon works of domestic and foreign scientists on economic and financial support to economy and population’s income. Results. We offer measures for liberalization of the financial and monetary policy of the government and the Central Bank to ensure changes in the structure of the Russian economy. The proposed alternative economic and financial policy of the State will enable the growth of real incomes of the population, poverty reduction by half by 2024, and annual GDP growth up to 6 per cent. Conclusions. It is crucial to change budget priorities, increase the salaries of public employees, introduce a progressive tax rate for individuals; to reduce the key rate to the value of annual inflation and limit the bank margin. The country needs a phased program to increase the population's income, which will ensure consumer demand.

Exam Result

The capability or calibre cannot be judged based on Results, as it depends on the student to student & also the examination is testing of knowledge of a student, for the whole year in two or three hours. In July 2020 the exam result of the secondary standard was declared by the Board of School Education Haryana, Bhiwani and there is a discussion about topper & the schools in which these toppers were studying & strategy of these toppers regarding exam preparation, their interviews & photos were published in the Newspapers, why not? It must be but in this spark light, there is some darkness behind this. Everyone is congratulating these students, as they are studied from the Private Schools of the Urban City areas of the Haryana, a few are from the most educated families, whose parents their selves are teachers or professors. Through this, we are ignoring a bitter truth of the poor students of the Government Schools, who despite lack of all the big & small facilities, as compare of these Private schools’ performed equal to these toppers.

Real Option Method

Developing the waterway infrastructure construction can improve the efficiency of energy utilization, reduce the energy consumption intensity and carbon dioxide emissions. Till the year 2020, China plan to complete 19,000 kilometers high grade channel. Construction of water infrastructure construction requires a large capital investment. However, the main financial source of funding the construction of transportation infrastructure at present in China is special financial allocation of the government. The unitary financing structure as well as the funding pressure has leaded to some serious financing problems. This paper applied the real options theory to the waterway infrastructure construction financing, analyzed the limitations of the NPV method and the advantages of real option method in investment decision of waterway infrastructure construction, and took an example to show its feasibility.

System Variables

Goal: To determine hospital and stroke system characteristics associated with higher levels of stroke center performance. Methods: We included all Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services designated Acute Care Hospitals and Critical Access Centers (ACH/CAC) from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2014. Higher stroke center performance was defined as earning a performance achievement award (PAA) on a predefined set of 7 evidence-based measures in a national quality program, Get-With-The-Guidelines-Stroke (GWTG-S). Generalized Estimating Equations were used to model characteristics associated with attaining a PAA over nine years of data. Hospital variables included total, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke discharge volumes; medicaid discharge volume; patient race/ethnicity; ownership; rurality (Truven Health MarketScan); and state and/or national stroke center certification. Stroke system variables included emergency medical service (EMS) stroke routing protocol; stroke center directives (legislation, regulation, or department of health initiatives); and location in a region with a stroke consortium. Results: As a percentage of all ACH/CACs, GWTG-S hospitals with PAA increased significantly over time from 0.001% (5/4530) in 2005 to 24% (1086/4526) in 2014 (linear and nonlinear p’s<0.0001). Variables associated with PAA status at the p<0.05 level were included in the combined analysis. Significant independent predictors of PAA status included urban location (p<0.0001); total (p=0.0016) and ischemic stroke (p<0.0048) discharge volumes; national stroke center designation (p<0.0001); and presence of state stroke center directives (p=0.0012). EMS routing was not statistically significant but there was an EMS-by-time interaction; hospitals with EMS routing had a significantly increased rate of earning PAA (p = 0.0463). Conclusions: There has been rapid improvement in stroke center performance from 2005 to 2014. Urban location, higher hospital discharge volume, national stroke center designation, and state stroke directives are independently associated with better stroke center performance. After controlling for hospital and stroke system factors, there are significant urban-rural disparities in stroke center performance.

And Performance

This chapter discusses the budget process for public capital investments in Ukraine, presents controversies in the current process, and offers several avenues for improvement. In doing so, the author provides a description of the country's normative capital public budgeting framework, presents the institutional setup, and tracks Ukraine's public capital expenditure trends for nearly three decades (1991-2016). The study then discusses implementation, audit, and performance issues in Ukraine's public capital expenditure management and provides recommendations. Because of the country's limited fiscal capacity as compared to its massive infrastructure needs, the author posits that Ukraine can no longer afford to delay or ignore its most pressing public capital investment needs. Because the current list of capital investment proposals is underfunded and too long, the author suggests that the government focuses on finishing strategic, high-priority public projects, while other capital spending proposals target private sector financing once it becomes more readily available.

Physical Capital Accumulation

Abstract In a Ramsey model of optimal taxation, if human capital investment can be observed separately from consumption, it is optimal not to distort human or physical capital accumulation in the long run, and only labour income taxes should be used. However, in reality the government can’t always distinguish between investment in human capital and pure consumption, so a tax on labour or consumption will necessarily tax human capital. We find that when investment in human capital is unobservable, the optimal policy is to tax human capital at a positive rate, even in the long run. Whether physical capital should be taxed or not depends on its degree of complementarity with human capital versus labour.

Exchange Rate Intervention

Market reform is advocated in developing countries to improve economic efficiency and prevent privileged groups from obtaining rents from the policy-making process. Yet this prescription fails to address the complex political process that governments are likely to confront when moving toward the market. This study shows how political considerations during President Salinas's administration distorted economic reform in Mexico.During the 1990s Mexican finance policy contradicted the government's declared neoliberal principles. While the banks were reprivatized and deregulated, they were also given a high degree of protection from competition, enabling the new owners to charge excessive interest rates. In addition, the government artificially inflated the value of the currency through exchange-rate intervention. These contradictory policies are best understood as a coherent political response to the electoral vulnerability of the ruling party (PRl) at the end of the 1980s. When viable political opposition threatened the PRl's ability to maintain power, it responded by using financial policies to distribute economic benefits to social groups, particularly business, the middle class, and the poor, whose support was critical for electoral victory.

Subject Counterterrorism in Burkina Faso. Significance Despite recent gains against jihadist groups, in recent months attacks have moved beyond the more insecure north and started to occur more frequently in the east and parts of the centre. Separately, authorities are growing increasingly intolerant of public dissent and protest, while revelations of abuses by the military risk scuppering crucial local community support necessary for counterinsurgency operations. Impacts The government will face growing political and public pressure to end persistent strikes. Patriotic support for the armed forces remains widespread, but growing revelations of abuse will tarnish its image. Opposition criticisms of the government’s counterterrorism strategy will increase but avoid directly blaming the military. Public dissatisfaction may grow with the Sahel Group of Five (G5) regional force if the slow pace of its operations persists. The prosecution of alleged coup plotter Gilbert Diendere will enjoy public backing amid calls for justice for victims of the old regime.
