    Review of Income and Wealth Series 55, Number 1, March 2009 Michael Ward at the 30th IARIW General Conference, Portoroz, Slovenia, August 2008 © 2009 The Author Journal compilation © 2009 International Association for Research in Income and Wealth Published by Blackwell Publishing, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main St, Malden, MA, 02148, USA. 186 Review of Income and Wealth, Series 55, Number 1, March 2009 MICHAEL WARD (1939–2008): IN MEMORIAM A few years ago I was sitting on a beach in Vietnam when a gust blew away a page of my Herald Tribune. I chased after it and was glad I did so because there on the centre page was an article by Michael Ward. He was proposing a develop- ment tax to be paid by the richer countries to finance development in poorer ones. What struck me was how typical it was of Michael to turn up in a remote part of the world, often unexpectedly but always with good intentions and sound ideas. Michael, a long time member and past chairman (2000–2002) of the IARIW, died of a heart attack in October 2008 at his home in Cambridge. He was 69 and leaves his wife Rosemary, a son and two daughters and six grandchildren. His death was a great loss to his many friends and colleagues throughout the world. It was also a great shock because right up to the end Michael was his usual busy self. He was Chair of the Program Committee for the Special IARIW Conference in Kathmandu; he was a session organizer for the 2009 ISI meeting in Durban; he was finalizing details of a lecture tour in China and was working with the Indian statistical office on a project to improve their price statistics.

  • A REVIEW of PUBLIC SPENDING and the POOR Dominique Van De
    Rcview of lncomc and Wealth Series 44, Number 2, June 1998 A REVIEW OF PUBLIC SPENDING AND THE POOR Dominique van de Walle and Kimberly Nead (eds.), The Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore, 1995 It is increasingly recognized that a main function of government policy in indus- trialized countries is directed towards redistributive objectives, where redistribu- tion is broadly interpreted to include not only redistribution of outcomes but also social insurance and equalization of opportunities. Moreover, a good deal of redistribution is accomplished on the expenditure side of the public budget. Despite the conventional view that a progressive tax system is the appropriate policy instrument for addressing inequality, tax systems are not all that progress- ive. Thus, programs in areas like education, health, social services, unemployment insurance, child care and pensions can all be interpreted as fulfilling, among other things, redistributive roles. Even pure transfer programs such as welfare payments are typically delivered separately from the tax system. The sheer magnitude of these various social programs and the size of the entitled population are respon- sible for the large share of GDP devoted to public expenditures in OECD countries. In the developing world, the imperative of redistribution is as much a concern as in industrialized countries, yet the extent of government policies aimed at redistribution is much less. This, in itself, accounts for the considerably lower share of government spending in GDP. Few of them have the extensive social programs that characterize the welfare state, such as universal health insurance, unemployment insurance, welfare and public pensions. Moreover, tax-transfer systems in developing countries seem ill-equipped to deliver significant amounts of redistribution, given their reliance on consumption and trade taxes.

  • Experimental Evidence on Adoption and Impact of the System of Rice Intensification*
    Experimental Evidence on Adoption and Impact of the System of Rice Intensification* Christopher B. Barrett (Cornell University) Asad Islam (Monash University) Abdul Malek (University of Tsukuba) Debayan Pakrashi (IIT Kanpur) Ummul Ruthbah (Dhaka University) January 2021 Abstract We report the results of a large-scale, multi-year experimental evaluation of the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), an innovation that first emerged in Madagascar in the 1980s and has now diffused to more than 50 countries. Using a randomized training saturation design, we find that greater cross-sectional or intertemporal intensity of direct or indirect training exposure to SRI has a sizable, positive effect on Bangladeshi farmers’ propensity to adopt (and not to disadopt) SRI. We find large, positive and significant impacts of SRI training on rice yields and profits, as well as multiple household well-being indicators, for both trained and untrained farmers in training villages. Despite the significant farm-level impacts on rice productivity and labor costs, we find no evidence of significant general equilibrium effects on rice prices or wage rates. We also find high rates of disadoption, and clear indications of non-random selection into technology adoption conditional on randomized exposure to training, such that adopters and non-adopters within the same treatment arm experience similar outcomes. Rice yields, profits and household well-being outcomes do not, however, vary at the intensive margin with intensity of training exposure, a finding consistent with multi-object learning models. Keywords: agricultural development, Bangladesh, BRAC, diffusion, innovation, learning, technology adoption * We are grateful to Marcel Fafchamps and Sisira Jayasuriya for detailed discussions on many aspects of the project and to the International Growth Centre (IGC) for financial support.

  • International Price Levels and Global Inflation
    Organisation de Coopération et de Développement Economiques Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development International price levels and global inflation Michael WARD, Cambridge - England Agenda item n° 11 JOINT WORLD BANK – OECD SEMINAR ON PURCHASING POWER PARITIES Recent Advances in Methods and Applications WASHINGTON D.C. 30 January – 2 February 2001 INTERNATIONAL PRICE LEVELS AND GLOBAL INFLATION 1 Introduction and Issues 1. What is global inflation? And why does it matter? To date, little interest has been shown in this topic and answers to these apparently simple questions are not entirely straightforward. Although much depends on the particular perspective taken by the individual investigator and the objective of enquiry, global inflation in its simplest term measures the average aggregate rate of increase of national prices across all countries. 2. In itself, however, a country’s rate of inflation is of key interest to that nation’s policy makers. But it is not solely a matter of domestic concern nor only a question of the extent of imported inflation as traditionally perceived, i.e. the country’s dependency on international trade in commodities. Over and above this, there has been an inexorable rise in prices, on average, in all countries over the whole of the 20th Century. No research has been carried out to try and determine what are the fundamental forces at work that have brought about these global price rises. Clearly, some core but as yet unidentified real behavioral factors have influenced the overall increase in world prices. It is possible that a continuing global imbalance between the demand and supply of resources as an invariable accompaniment of growth may have pushed up prices.

  • Sensitivity of PPP-Based Income Estimates to Choice of Aggregation Procedures
    Sensitivity of PPP-Based Income Estimates to Choice of Aggregation Procedures by Yuri Dikhanov Development Data Group International Economics Department The World Bank Washington, D.C. January, 1997 Sensitivity of PPP-Based Income Estimates 1 Yuri Dikhanov The World Bank 08/17/99 Sensitivity of PPP-Based Income Estimates to Choice of Aggregation Procedures1 The choice of aggregation method significantly influences the results of international comparisons (both real incomes and rankings). The two most widely used methods of aggregating detailed data to get GDP in international prices -- the EKS and Geary-Khamis (GK) -- are discussed and contrasted here with the other additive and non-additive indexes (altogether 11 indexes discussed). The additivity issue, Paasche-Laspeyres spread and Gerschenkron effect are discussed in more detail. Special attention is paid to the Ikle index which while being additive minimizes the Gerschenkron effect (in contrast to the EKS and GK, the first of which is not additive and the second manifests significant Gerschenkron effect), and which is recommended for use in analytical work involving comparisons of the GDP structures as well as levels. Some of the results of this investigation include the following: (i) the system of international prices corresponding to the Iklé system is developed; (ii) a generalized Geary-Khamis system (GGK) is introduced; (iii) iteration procedures for solving the Iklé, Geary-Khamis and other systems were developed and implemented in a Microsoft Excel environment; (iv) existence and uniqueness of the Ikle solution is shown. The indexes were used to aggregate the 1985 ICP results, which are discussed as well. 1 I would like to thank Erwin Diewert (University of British Columbia) who kindly agreed to be the discussant of this paper at the Twenty-Third General Conference of the International Association for Research in Income and Wealth held at St.

  • The Economic Impacts of Learning Losses
    The Economic Impacts of Learning Losses Eric A. Hanushek Ludger Woessmann September 2020 Acknowledgements This paper benefitted from the encouragement and support of Andreas Schleicher and from his comments along with those of Macke Raymond, Michael Ward, and Francesco Avvisati. Foreword The worldwide school closures in early 2020 led to losses in learning that will not easily be made up for even if schools quickly return to their prior performance levels. These losses will have lasting economic impacts both on the affected students and on each nation unless they are effectively remediated. While the precise learning losses are not yet known, existing research suggests that the students in grades 1-12 affected by the closures might expect some 3 percent lower income over their entire lifetimes. For nations, the lower long-term growth related to such losses might yield an average of 1.5 percent lower annual GDP for the remainder of the century. These economic losses would grow if schools are unable to re-start quickly. The economic losses will be more deeply felt by disadvantaged students. All indications are that students whose families are less able to support out-of-school learning will face larger learning losses than their more advantaged peers, which in turn will translate into deeper losses of lifetime earnings. The present value of the economic losses to nations reach huge proportions. Just returning schools to where they were in 2019 will not avoid such losses. Only making them better can. While a variety of approaches might be attempted, existing research indicates that close attention to the modified re-opening of schools offers strategies that could ameliorate the losses.
