Item Conference on Global Financial and Economic Crisis : Fiscal Policy Issues After the Crisis(2010) ADBI; MoF PRI; Hitotsubashi University. Center for Intergenerational Studies; International Development Research CentreThe workshop included financial analysts from all over the globe, meeting to discuss fallout from the banking crisis in the United States and its impact on emerging economies, as well as aging ones such as in Japan and mainland China. The ten-year period between 2010-2020 is used as a projection/predictive model for the world economic outlook and a basis for discussion of fiscal policy going forward. The Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) is a Tokyo-based think tank that helps build capacity, skills, and knowledge on poverty reduction and other areas that support long-term growth.Item Public policy review, April 2010, v. 6, no. 4(Policy Research Institute, Ministry of Finance.Japan, 2010) Horton, Mark; Anderson, Barry; Sugimoto, Kazuyuki; Kang, Jia; Ki Seok HongThis publication by the Ministry Of Finance (Japan) features papers about fiscal policy issues arising in Japan, China and Korea after the global recession. Policy implications for advanced market economies are different from emerging market economies. In Asian G-20 countries, the deterioration in the structural fiscal position during 2007-10 comes mostly from stimulus packages in emerging economies, while structural spending pressures are important in advanced economies. The research examines aspects of fiscal policy issues including the time pattern of policy responses, effectiveness of expansionary measures, and long-term implications for fiscal debt.Item VERN policy brief no. 2 : stimulating demand using fiscal policy (fiscal stimulus package) - the necessity, principles, and practice in the world and Vietnam(Centre for Analysis and Forecasting (CAF), Hanoi, VN, 2011) Centre for Analysis and Forecasting (CAF)A demand stimulus package is needed now that timely delivery of the first stimulus package has occurred. This policy brief was created in response to the global financial recession and its impact on the economy of Vietnam. Its most important objective is to maintain employment, reversing the vicious circle of economic decline. To obtain this objective, with the lowest possible budgetary deficit, the design and implementation of the stimulus package is laid out to comply with some policy details, principles and recommendations. Other complementary policies are required to be implemented, which take into account specific conditions in Vietnam.Item VERN policy brief no. 1(Centre for Analysis and Forecasting (CAF), Hanoi, VN, 2011) Centre for Analysis and Forecasting (CAF)This brief is formulated in response to the global economic crisis induced by bank failures in the United States where the stock market lost 33% of its value (2007), and recommends a stimulus package for Vietnam, the prime concern being jobs and current account deficits, not inflation. It provides an overview of the international situation as well as domestic economic issues.

The tax system is generally progressive but less so when measured against the benefits to education and health. The net tax system is found to reduce inequality. Although findings show a poverty-increasing effect of the net tax system using absolute poverty lines, the poverty impact remains minimal in rural areas where poverty is high.Item Developing countries, global financial governance and the Group of Twenty : a note(University of Toronto, Toronto, On, CA, 2001) Helleiner, GerryItem Improving accountability and governance in global financial institutions (12-13 Dec. 2000, University College, Oxford)(University College, Oxford, GB, 2000) Woods, N.
