SUMMARY:Seminar : ROADS LESS TRAVELED: EMERGING MARKET AND  DEVELOPING ECONOMY GROWTH IN A COMPLICATED EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT By Dr Malhar Nabar
DESCRIPTION:Dr Malhar Nabar from IMF is presenting seminar on "ROADS LESS TRAVELED: EMERGING MARKET AND DEVELOPING ECONOMY GROWTH IN A COMPLICATED EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT" on 13th April\, 2017 in Seanza Hall at 4 p.m.\n\nEmerging market and developing economies have become increasingly important in the global economy in recent years. They now account for more than 75 percent of global growth in output and consumption\, almost double the share of just two decades ago. The external environment has been crucial for this transformation. Terms of trade\, external demand\, and\,  in particular\, external financial conditions are increasingly influential determinants of medium-term growth in these economies as they become more integrated into the global economy. With the global economy in the midst of potentially persistent structural shifts\, emerging market and developing economies may face a less supportive external environment going forward than they experienced for long-stretches of the post-2000 period. Nevertheless\, these economies can still get the most out of a weaker growth impulse from external conditions by strengthening their institutional framework\, protecting trade integration\, permitting exchange rate flexibility\, and containing vulnerabilities arising from high current account deficits and external borrowing\, as well as large public debt\n\nPresenter: Malhar Nabar is a Deputy Division Chief in the World Economic Studies Division of the Research Department at the IMF. Previously he worked in the Asia Pacific Department\, where he covered China and Japan and was mission chief to Hong Kong SAR. Mr. Nabar’s research interests are in financial development\, investment\, and productivity growth. He holds a Ph.D. from Brown University.

SUMMARY:Seminar : UNDERSTANDING THE DOWNWARD TREND IN LABOR INCOME SHARES By Zsoka Koczan
DESCRIPTION:Zsoka Koczan from IMF is presenting seminar on "UNDERSTANDING THE DOWNWARD TREND IN LABOR INCOME SHARES" on 13th April\, 2017 in Seanza Hall at 4 p.m.\n\nThis chapter documents the downward trend in the global labor share of income since the early 1990’s\, as well as its heterogeneity along many dimensions\, using newly assembled data for a large sample of advanced and emerging and developing economies. The empirical analysis points to a dominant role of technology and global integration for this trend and cross-sectional variation\, although to different degrees between advanced and emerging market economies. Technological progress\, reflected in the steep decline in the relative price of investment goods\, along with varying exposure to routine\, automatable occupations\, explain around half the overall decline in advanced economies\, with a disproportionate negative impact on earnings of middle-skilled workers. In emerging markets\, the labor share evolution is explained predominantly by the forces of global integration\, particularly of global value chain expansions\, which contributed to raising the overall capital intensity in production rather than displacing workers in these economies\n\nPresenter: Zsoka Koczan is an Economist in the World Economic Studies Division of the Research Department at the IMF\, having worked previously in the European Department. Prior to joining the IMF in 2013\, she worked at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge. Her research interests include applied microeconomics\, inequality and migration.
