Abstract:

The iPhone has thanks to its multitouch interface, size and connectivity change the way we communicate. To fully utilize this technology we can involve users in the development process to help make highly usable software applications. One way to do this we somehow need to get the users to use our systems. What techniques are there to do this? And will they fit our product? Are there any way we can involve the users in the development process of an iPhone application, in this thesis I investigate if this can be accomplished by conducting usability tests with users on an iPhone application. The usability testing gives an insight into how the users work with and adapts to the users interface. The questionnaires given to the participants gave insight into how the users considered the usability and usefulness of the application. This data gave the development much needed data on the application to make it better and more usable. Since earlier research into user involvement have shown a strong connection to usable software and usability testing could be integrated successfully into the development by the single programmer, the conclusion can be drawn that single developer that incorporates usability testing into the development process as a form of user involvement makes more usable software. The usability was tested on an iPhone application built for an American online classified ads website.

Roser, Max, and Cuaresma Jesus Crespo. "Why is Income Inequality Increasing in the Developed World?" Wiley, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/roiw.12153.

Full text

Abstract:

We address empirically the factors affecting the dynamics of income inequality among industrialized economies. Using a panel for 32 developed countries spanning the last four decades, our results indicate that the predictions of the Stolper-Samuelson theorem concerning the effects of international trade on income inequality find support in the data if we concentrate on imports from developing countries as a trade measure, as theory would imply. We find that democratization, the interaction of technology and education and changes in the relative power of labour unions affect inequality dynamics robustly.

Full text

Abstract:

The determinants of health expenditures have been studied extensively for the past 50 years and income has been seen as the major driver. The focus has rarely left developed countries which raises the question as to whether the same positive relationship exists in developing countries as well. The purpose of this thesis is to answer this question by conducting a fixed effect regression on a sample of 38 countries labelled as the least developed in the world by the United Nations with data stretching between 2000 to 2017. The results indicate a weaker relationship in the sample compared to estimates on developed countries. However, due to a lack of theoretical guidance on how health expenditures are determined and indications that omitted variable bias is present, the results do not provide definitive conclusions.

Abstract:

The thesis describes and analyses, within a framework of qualitative market development theory, the development of the Secondary Market in the bank debts of less developed countries. A survey of market participants is presented and analysed. The theory of financial market efficiency is assessed, and secondary market price data is used to test the theory in the secondary market context. Market-based debt reduction is described in theory and in practice, with a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the Brady Initiative. Simulations and sensitivity analysis of the likely effect on debt servicing ability for the first three beneficiaries of Brady debt restructuring are presented. Suggestions for further research are presented in the concluding chapter.

Gourlay, Norman James. "The ethical demands on the developed world of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa." Thesis, Keele University, 2013. http://eprints.keele.ac.uk/3738/.

Full text

Abstract:

HIV/AIDS is a major health problem for sub-Saharan Africa. There are identifiable prevention and treatment regimes which would greatly ameliorate the situation, but these are beyond the resources of the sub-Saharan countries themselves. The research focus of this thesis is an investigation of the responsibility that the developed world has towards supplying help to combat this disease process. A series of arguments are adduced in support of the contention that the developed world has responsibility in this area and that that legitimate responsibility is very demanding indeed. These arguments are drawn firstly from a consideration of beneficence, secondly, from considerations of distributive justice, and finally from a consideration of reparative justice and rights based arguments. With beneficence the accent was upon Singer and his child in the pond thought experiment. With distributive justice the focus was upon contractualism, primarily considering Rawls, but then extending this both into health and in a cosmopolitan direction. Where reparative justice and rights based arguments were concerned the arguments were constructed from Pogge, Shue and Ooms. Major objections to this position were considered and largely rejected arising from the question of over-demandingness, from libertarianism and from a consideration of Murphy and the question of fairness in a non-ideal situation. However it was accepted that there is a place for partiality in moral obligations and that there are reasonable moral duties and prerogatives with regards to self and the needs of those in close relationships with the moral agent involved. Major writers involved in these countervailing arguments included Scheffler and Cullity. The original extreme demand provisionally accepted was counterbalanced by a consideration of partialist obligations. Nonetheless the overall moral position would be such that the needs outlined in the Millennium Development Goals in regard to HIV/AIDS fall easily within the limits of moral obligations of the developed world.

Abstract:

Sustainable energy use in the developed world requires locally deployed distributed generation and energy efficiency measures within communities. This dissertation tests the hypothesis that this can be better done by an Energy Service Company than by government and the utilities. Ireland was used to place this research in context. The Irish electricity market is still dominated by the pre deregulation utilities that also own and operate the transmission and distribution network. The Irish government has also established a Sustainable Energy Authority to formulate policy and manage incentives. A review of the literature resulted in the modelling of an Energy Service Company operating in an exclusive Energy Service Area based on the town of Greystones 30 km south of Dublin. This model included a capital programme, operating philosophy and business plan designed to increase sustainable energy use. Finance packages for customers interested in efficiency improvements were also laid out. This model was then simulated. This showed that net grid imports had been reduced from 90,380,768 kWh/year to 13,212,924 kWh/year. A lifecycle economic analysis returned a net present value of ! 43,902,705 compared to ! 17,105,253 for the baseline case. Social impacts of the development programme could result in opposition, but community ownership of the company would align objectives. Moreover, the current top-down initiatives and bottom up incentives in Ireland are unlikely to bring about the transformation of communities a quickly as this model. In conclusion, based on the analysis of this paper the hypothesis is valid. It is recommended that detailed research is conducted using this model and that other areas are investigated to test whether the conclusions of this paper can be applied universally. Based on this further research policy proposals should be developed for consultation.

Martins, Henry Bola. "Risk management of U.S. banks in less developed countries : a country-risk analysis." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 1990. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/1889/.

Full text

Abstract:

The object of this research is to determine whether U.S. commercial banks could have predicted in advance the debt crises of the developing countries, i.e., whether a particular LDC would reschedule or default on its loans. A secondary purpose was to determine whether the debt crisis was the fault of the banks or the developing countries who reneged on their loan contracts. What do the banks have to do to prevent this from happening? What do they have to do to manage country risk effectively? The study begins with a historical account of the United States banking system to the period of debt rescheduling by the LDCs. It continues by describing the different types of risks in international banking. Next it discusses the theoretical issues of LDC debt, including sustainability of debt policy, optimal level of country borrowing, optimal bank foreign lending, and credit rationing by the banks. This is followed by a description of the regulatory aspects of country risk management. The important issue of country risk management by U.S. banks is next, including a discussion of the various assessment methods used and a review of the major empirical studies that used econometric methods for predicting the incidence of external debt defaults. The empirical research investigates debt rescheduling by less developed countries. Linear discriminant function and logistic discrimination approaches were used to determine the predictive ability of any particular subset of economic variables. The sample comprises data on 37 countries over a period of 10 years, 1974-1983. This period was chosen because it was a time of important economic transition. The results of the discriminant and logistic analyses show modest discriminatory power for predicting the rescheduling of debt of a country with the set of economic predictors used.

Virtue, Tony. "Towards the sustainability of microfinance services: the role of client impact monitoring." University of Southern Queensland, Faculty of Business, 2008. http://eprints.usq.edu.au/archive/00006289/.

Full text

Abstract:

[Abstract]: Over the last few decades microfinance has become an integral part of the economic development of the less developed countries with regional governments, themultilateral donor agencies such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank and other donor organisations investing in the industry to build its capacity andwiden the outreach. Further, the World Bank has highlighted the need to help the poor achieve self-sustainability as much more than just a social issue. In fact, in their view, the long-term financial growth of the Developed countries will be largely determined by the expansion of the Third World as their future client base. Those who are interested in economic development in the less developed countries strongly believe that microfinance will be an effective tool of alleviation of poverty and developing prosperity for the poor. For this reason microfinance is considered as one of the effective way of achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).Central to the success of microfinance is the distribution of capital from the wealthy to the poor in a manner which encourages accountability and responsibility from therecipient, while at the same time allowing donors to see appropriate stewardship of their funds. This is measured through the achievement of financial independence ofthe group being studied. The role of implementing agencies in facilitating this efficient and accountable transfer of capital is seen to be crucial to the ongoing development of microfinance. The interrelation between donors and these agencies requires a high degree of trust and mutual accountability, in many cases built up through years of hard work and experimentation.The policy framework and legislative environment for microfinance is still evolving. For instance some countries are still developing the regulatory environment to monitor the transparency of the industry. Furthermore, there are some growing concerns on the level of efficiency of the delivery of microfinance in making an impact on projects or at least making an impact on alleviation of poverty. In order to contribute to the latter, this study investigates a major microfinance operation in thePhilippines to examine whether it is consistent with the wider international practices, particularly in achieving the MDGs.The study uses a survey tool developed by the donor agency to monitor the quantitative and qualitative aspect of the microfinance operation and benchmark them against similar operations within the Asian region. The results show that, in the majority of cases, the Philippines operation has outperformed their counterparts. However, there is considerable room for improvement to maintain the sustainability of the operation.These experiences of successes and failures need to be recorded and delineated to build on existing achievements and support an environment geared towards substantial growth in the funding of microfinance in the future. It is the intention of this study to highlight these experiences and draw attention to the very real achievements currently being experienced through some effective microfinanceprojects.

Rivero, Douglas. "Soviet and Western Bloc Competition in the Less Developed World and the Collapse of Détente." FIU Digital Commons, 2009. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/213.

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of my dissertation was to examine the competition between the U.S.-led Western bloc and the Soviet bloc in the less developed world during Détente. I assessed whether or not the Soviet bloc pushed for strategic gains in the less developed world in the middle-to-late 1970’s and whether this contributed to the U.S. decision to abandon Détente in 1979. I made the attempt to test the international relations theory of balance of threat realism (Walt, 1992). I accomplished the test in two ways. First, I measured the foreign aid allocations (military and economic) made by each respective bloc towards the Third World by using a quantitative approach. Second, I examined U.S. archives using the process-tracing/historical method. The U.S. archives gave me the ability to evaluate how U.S. decision-makers and U.S. intelligence agencies interpreted the actions of the Soviet bloc. They also gave me the chance to examine the U.S. response as we evaluated the policies that were pushed by key U.S. decision-makers and intelligence agencies. On the question of whether or not the Soviet bloc was aggressive, the quantitative evidence suggested that it was not. Instead, the evidence found the Western-bloc to have been more aggressive in the less developed world. The U.S. archives also showed Soviet actions to have been defensive. Key U.S. decision-makers and intelligence agencies attested to this. Finally, the archives show that U.S. officials pushed for aggressive actions against the Third World during the final years of Détente. Thus, balance of threat realism produced an incorrect assessment that U.S. aggression in the late 1970’s was a response to Soviet aggression during Détente. The evidence suggests structural Marxism and domestic politics can better explain U.S./Western actions. The aggressive foreign aid allocations of the West, coupled with evidence of U.S. decision-makers/agencies vehemently concerned about the long-term prospects of the West, strengthened structural Marxism. Domestic politics can also claim to explain the actions of U.S. decision-makers. I found extensive archival evidence of bureaucratic inter-agency conflict between the State Department and other intelligence agencies in areas of strategic concern to the U.S.

Hawthorne, Helen. "The least developed countries, the World Trade Organisation and the norm of special treatment." Thesis, City University London, 2011. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/1120/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the special treatment of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) in the World Trade Organisation (WTO). The categorisation of the LDCs by the United Nations in 1971 not only created a new classification of counties, but also created an international norm of special treatment for these countries. The norm of special treatment for LDCs has, since then, slowly spread throughout the international system and has been institutionalised in many international organisations, including the WTO. Evidence of the institutionalisation of the norm within the WTO can be found in its founding documents and agreements, as well as in the Doha Development Agenda. This institutionalisation of the norm has meant that LDCs have been provided with special treatment in the trade regime, which is not provided to other categories of member. This thesis will trace the development and institutionalisation of the international norm of special treatment for LDCs and will focus specifically on its institutionalisation within the GATT/WTO. The thesis uses the concept of the norm lifecycle to demonstrate how the norm of special treatment for LDCs has grown in strength over time and become institutionalised, but has yet to be fully internalised. Through the use of case studies looking at accession, market access and cotton, it argues that the recent agency of the LDCs means that they can be seen as norm entrepreneurs helping to further the norm of special treatment by their appeals to it.

Full text

Abstract:

This study strives to examine how microfinance activities can be successfully applied in the developed world. This is done through a field study in New York City. Throughout interviews and observations with three of the largest actors in New York: Acción USA, Grameen America and Project Enterprise, as well as interviews with their clients, the lending processes and key characteristics of the organizations have been mapped. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has been interviewed on the general opinion of microfinance in the US. Previous theory elaborates on some of the major challenges with implementing microfinance activities in the developed world, such as lack of funding and cultural differences hindering the lending processes to be carried out as they are in the developing world. Henceforth, problems regarding regulation, awareness and outreach are discussed. Throughout the observation of the institutions we can confirm that some of the challenges brought up in theory actually are apparent. We do, however, question the criticism towards the use of group-based lending programs in the developed world. Our study does, in contrast to previous research, imply that the concept does work as well in the US as it does in developing countries. Since this is a case study based on the observations of only a few organizations, it is precarious to draw any general conclusions based upon the findings. Indications of key success factors are, though, group-based lending programs, non-financial services, creating awareness, financial sustainability, savings as funding, standardized regulations and increased transparency. Finally we advocate focus on job creation to obtain acknowledgement.

Full text

Abstract:

Background: Measuring the acquisition of self-management skills are part of evidence based health care transition practice. Youth with Spina Bifida have significant demands for self-management and high self-care burden. We developed an 11 item Spina-Bifida -TRAQ to assess self-management skills specific for Spina Bifida including urine, stool continence management, and skin and shunt maintenance. A detailed description of the SB-TRAQ, its reliability and criterion validity are presented elsewhere. Objective: To examine the predictive validity of the Spina Bifida-TRAQ among youth with Spina Bifida. Design/Methods: Participants include 90 youth with Spina Bifida who attend a clinic participating in the National Spina Bifida Patient Registry (NSBPR) (see Table1 for demographics). Youth completed the newly developed 11-item SB-TRAQ. De-identified NSBPR data from the electronic medical record (EMR) was linked with participants’ responses from the SBTRAQ. Two separate regressions were conducted using: age, sex, race, ethnicity, insurance, lesion level, lifetime # of shunt revisions, and SB-TRAQ to predict urinary incontinence (UI) episodes/month, and stool incontinence (SI) episodes/month. Results: Two separate multiple linear regressions were calculated to predict frequency (times per month) of UI and SI based on age, sex, race, ethnicity, insurance, having an IEP, spinal cord lesion level, lifetime number of shunt revisions, and SB-TRAQ. For UI, a significant regression equation was found (F(9,77) = 2.44, p<.001), with an R2 of .22. SB-TRAQ and IEP were significant predictors of UI; youths’ UI decreased 1.15 days/month for each point increase in SB-TRAQ; youth with an IEP had .83 more episodes of UI/month than did youth without an IEP. The model for SI had a significant regression equation (F(9,75) = 3.18, p<.001), with an R2 of .28. SB-TRAQ and lesion level were significant predictors of SI; youths SI decreased .58 days for each point increase in SB-TRAQ; each lower lesion levels (.13/level) had fewer SI episodes/month than did those with higher lesion levels.

Abstract:

Background: Measuring the acquisition of self-management and health care utilization skills are part of evidence based health care transition practice. Youth with Spina Bifida (SB) have significant demands for self-management and high self-care burden. To complement HCT skills assessed in the TRAQ, we developed an 11 item SB-TRAQ to assess self-management skills specific to Spina Bifida. Similar to the TRAQ, the SB-TRAQ uses a 5-point Likert responses using Stages of Change. Objective: To develop and assess the reliability and validity of a questionnaire to measure independence and skill acquisition for youth with SB. Design/Methods: Working with a multidisciplinary team of experts in the care of youth with SB we developed a twelve item questionnaire specific to the main facets of SB self-care and -management including urine and stool continence, prevention of skin breakdown and awareness of signs of shunt malfunction. The items were reviewed and revised through several iterations by healthcare providers and patients. The SB-TRAQ was fielded in an SB Specialty Clinic participating in the National Spina Bifida Patient Registry (NSBPR). Ninety youth with SB completed the 20-item TRAQ and the 12-item SB-TRAQ. Item response means, and distributions were assessed. A principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted with oblique rotation (promax). We also assessed criterion validity by examining the correlation of the SB-TRAQ supplement with the TRAQ and age. Results: Sample characteristics and scale information for the TRAQ and SB-TRAQ supplements are displayed in Table 1, including a Cronbach alpha of 0.9 for the SB-TRAQ. The item characteristics are provided in Table 2. Results of the factor analysis show eleven items loaded onto one factor, with almost all items loadings > 0.7 . One item did not load, resulting in an 11 item solution. The primary factor explained 62% of the variance. Intraclass correlations of the SB-TRAQ supplement with the TRAQ overall scale and subscales demonstrated good criterion validity (TRAQ overall ICC = .74; ICCs varied among the subscales and the SB-TRAQ). Additionally, the SB-TRAQ, as hypothesized, was significantly and positively correlated with age (Pearson correlation .29, p<.01). Conclusion(s): Results of our analyses demonstrate that the SB-TRAQ had good internal reliability and excellent criterion validity as demonstrated by strong correlation with age and the validated TRAQ. The SB-TRAQ can be a useful tool to help youth with SB achieve independence and self-management.

Currently, there is no single approach to the division of countries into underdeveloped countries, developing and developed ones. There are more common approaches of the UN, World Bank, WTO to ranking countries and territories. Although the current stages of development of TNCs are chaacterised by globalisation, and the flow of capital from one area to another, (which in theory should level the gap between countries) and the development of national economies is still uneven. For many reasons, because of the policy of protectionism, many because of the different levels of natural resources (as the main factor of economic growth).
В даний час не існує єдиного підходу до поділу країн на слаборозвинені країни, що розвиваються та розвинені. Існують більш загальні підходи ООН, Світового банку та СОТ до ранжирування країн та територій. Хоча нинішні етапи розвитку ТНК характеризуються глобалізацією, а потік капіталу з однієї області в іншу (що теоретично повинно нівелювати розрив між країнами) та розвиток національних економік все ще нерівномірний. З багатьох причин, через політику протекціонізму, багато через різний рівень природних ресурсів (як головний фактор економічного зростання).

Abstract:

This paper uses a new measure of volatility based on extreme day return occurrences and examines the relative prevailing volatility among worldwide stock markets during 1997-2009. Using several global stock market indexes of countries categorized as an emerging and developed capital markets are utilized. Additionally this study investigates well known anomalies namely Monday effect and January effect. Further using correlation analysis of co movement and extent of integration highlights the opportunities for international diversification among those markets. Evidences during this time period suggest volatility is not the only phenomena of emerging capital markets. Emerging markets offer opportunities of higher returns during volatility. Cross correlation analysis depicts markets have become more integrated during this time frame; still opportunities for higher returns prevail through global portfolio diversification.

Abstract:

This dissertation addresses the impact of urbanization and land use change on the availability and accessibility of two urban amenities that are often inequitably distributed: green space and water features. Diverse methodologies were utilized in order to gain a better understanding of the role of these amenities in improving urban quality of life and integrated water management. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this research provides a unique perspective within both a developed and developing world context by evaluating aspects of urbanization to emphasize more sustainable and integrated approaches to development. A preliminary analysis highlights potential drivers of green space revitalization in Santa Cruz, Bolivia by identifying perceived benefits of brownfields redevelopment projects between developed and developing countries. These include environmental benefits (creation of green space, reduced health risks), economic benefits (job creation, retention of residents and businesses), and social benefits (community enhancement, improved city services). Building on this analysis, an in-depth anthropological study then examines the preferences, perceptions, and barriers to accessing green spaces in Santa Cruz. Utilizing qualitative and quantifiable research methods, it was determined that although green spaces can help ensure greater equality in urban areas by providing access to public spaces, significant gender discrepancies were noted in Santa Cruz. Disparities in the distribution and accessibility of green space and water features were further assessed in Tampa, Florida. Using a Geographic Information System (GIS) and census data, access to these urban amenities was examined. The inner-city community of East Tampa was found to have greater inequalities, relative to other areas in Tampa, in terms of the quality, diversity, and size of green spaces within their community. The revitalization of urban water infrastructures, such as stormwater ponds, was evaluated as a way to address these environmental justice issues. Lastly, impacts of urbanization, land use change, and population growth on water resources were analyzed using a regional water balance model for the city of Santa Cruz. Development scenarios were examined based on historical and future spatial and temporal changes. Between 1970 and 2010, a decreasing trend was observed for the aridity index (potential evapotranspiration over precipitation) while future climate projections (2011-2050) indicate a trend reversal, with the IPCC's emission scenario A1B having the strongest increasing trend. The increasing trend in the aridity index suggests a long-term shift in the regional hydroclimatology towards less humid conditions. Each chapter of this research builds on the idea of green space as an indicator of urban quality of life (particularly for urban poor who rely more heavily on public spaces for leisure and recreation activities) as well as an important facilitator of urban hydrology due to their predominately permeable surfaces (including water features). Yet rapid change occurring in cities around the world has resulted in the under-valuation of both green space and water resources and thus these amenities have been degraded or destroyed through the urbanization process.

Abstract:

The WTO, tourism and small states: finding policy space to develop This study examines whether the General Agreement on Services (GATS) provides the necessary policy space for small states to pursue their development agendas. Small states in this study are defined in power terms. But the study also focuses on small states in a property sense--those with few diversification options, making the services sector potentially an important avenue for economic growth and diversification. The study seeks to examine critically the parameters that GATS places on policy-making of small states--whether governments are limited to providing a competitive business environment, or if they retain sufficient policy space to shape the development of a sector. The study also looks at the interplay between international and domestic factors in development of policy. The tourism industries of Oman and Qatar provide case studies to examine these issues. Tourism has the potential to contribute to the economies of small states generally, but debate exists as to whether GATS leaves small states with sufficient space to influence the direction of this sector. The similarities between Oman and Qatar in both power and property terms allow for a comparative examination of whether small states can find meaningful policy space. In addition, their domestic dynamics provide insight into the interplay between domestic and international pressures on policy choices. The experiences of Oman and Qatar suggest that there remains some policy space for states to develop their tourism industries in a manner compatible with local aspirations. Governments thus have some scope to direct the shape of the tourism sector beyond merely providing a competitive business environment. But policy direction is influenced by capacity, past experiences and existing norms, and these differences can result in varying outcomes. Additionally, small states must decide their priorities in on-going WTO negotiations in order to maintain existing policy space.

Abstract:

Objective. To assess the impact of a graduate student mentoring program on student interest in research and postgraduate education and on graduate student confidence in mentoring. Methods. Undergraduate and pharmacy students (mentees) and graduate students (mentors) were matched and participated in the study, which required them to engage in at least 2 discussions regarding research and careers. Mentees completed a pre- and post-assessment of their perceptions of research, postgraduate training plans, and perceptions about mentors. Mentors completed a pre- and post-assessment of their perceptions about themselves as mentors and their confidence in mentoring. Results. Although there were no significant differences among the mentees’ perceptions of research or the mentors’ confidence in mentoring, qualitative analysis indicated that the mentees’ perceptions of research improved and that the mentors believed their mentoring skills improved. Conclusions. Based on the results of the qualitative analysis, implementing a graduate student mentoring program may help improve students’ perceptions of research and graduate students’ confidence in mentoring, which could increase student interest in postgraduate education and prepare mentors for future leadership roles.

Abstract:

There is a critical need to teach computer science (CS) in order to assure that our nation remains competitive globally [6]. CS is a new basic skill necessary for economic opportunity [6] but is rarely taught before age 6 and only using electronic devices [1]. This presents a challenge for those concerned with “screen time” inherent in electronic devices [2] and for children in poverty with little access to electronic devices [3]. Coding, creating a series of commands that a computer carries out, is a component of CS and can be introduced as early as preschool age and results in increased logical sequencing [5] (putting action commands in order). Missing from the research is the impact of coding with non-electronic formats on logical sequencing with children younger than age 6. Our study fills this need by using a non-electronic format with 4-year-olds. The purpose is to see if playing Robot Turtles, a board game designed to teach coding, will increase logical sequencing skills. Our hypothesis is that we will see a 10 times greater increase in logical sequencing in the children who play Robot Turtles than those playing Candy Land, a board game with no measurable effect on math skills [4]

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the effects of trade liberalization policies (represented by membership in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade/World Trade Organization on selected Least Developed Countries' (LDCs) human development (represented by the Human Development Index). In this dissertation, General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and World Trade Organization (WTO) policies are theorized to have two distinct types of effects: their direct effect and their indirect effect. Two questions are focused on: first, what is the effect (total, direct and indirect) of WTO policies on human development for selected LDCs? Second, what is the effect (total, direct and indirect) of WTO policies on human development for selected developing/developed countries (i.e. non-LDCs) holding economic development constant? Using the dependency theory of development as a theoretical basis, this dissertation examines the assumptions of modernization-theory-based policies as expressed in trade liberalization policies (i.e. the implementation of comparative advantage and now market fundamentalism) with world-system analysis techniques. To examine these questions, four panel regression models are constructed to measure the total, direct and indirect effects of WTO policies during the near-term (1998-2003) and during a longer historical term (1975-2000). The data for the analyses are taken from seven different sources of international data. The analyses seemingly demonstrate that there are quantifiable negative effects of GATT/WTO membership (trade liberalization policies) on human development in selected LDCs. The current implementation of trade liberalization policies does not benefit the well-being of all concerned as promoted by the WTO.

Abstract:

In this thesis, trade with waste between developed countries and the third world will be presented to analyze whether waste‐trading can create a possible win-win situation. To carry on this question problem, three theories have been considered to explain why and how developing countries can be affected by international waste-trade. A few case-studies regarding waste-trade in developing countries such as, India, China and Vietnam, will show the situation of waste-trade today. These theories and case-studies will set the foundation for analysis and conclusion. To sum up, trade with waste is a complex problem that can affect the importing country in both positive and negative ways. If the negative externality that is caused by handling waste is controlled with a tax or regulation, trade with waste can be a win-win situation for the trading countries.
