Clusters of Least Developed Countries, their evolution between 1993 and 2013, and policies to expand their productive capacity, by Giovanni Andrea Cornia and Antonio Scognamillo (CDP Background Paper No. 33)

The conventional approach to least developed country (LDC) graduation has considered these countries as an undifferentiated group whose problems could be solved by means of similar measures focusing on domestic and international liberalisation, preferential aid allocations, and the promotion of their exports by means of trade preferences and free market access. This paper tries to go beyond this analytical and policy tradition and attempts to identify different LDC clusters in which underdevelopment is caused by specific economic and social conditions, and for which the solution depends not only on traditional support measures, but also on the implementation of differentiated, country-…

Applying the Growth Identification and Facilitation Framework to the Least Developed Countries: The Case of Uganda, by Justin Yifu Lin and Jiajun Xu (CDP Background Paper No. 32)

This paper aims to draw insights from New Structural Economics by applying its practical policy tool - the Growth Identification and Facilitation Framework (GIFF) - to least developed countries (LDCs) with a special focus on the case of Uganda.

After a brief introduction of the GIFF, we present an overview of Uganda's recent economic and social performance and analyse Uganda's factor endowments, i.e., land (or…

Productive Capacity and Trade in the Solomon Islands, by Daniel Gay (CDP Background Paper No. 31)

Economic growth, environmental sustainability and human development in the Solomon Islands have lagged much of the Pacific region since independence in 1978. Trade contributes insufficiently to development, partly because of the dominance of the logging industry but also due to the lack of emphasis on building productive capacities with a view to economic transformation toward higher productivity activities. Targeted soft industrial policies may help address these shortcomings, in the form of sectoral prioritisation; linkages policies; joint government-donor support to build appropriate infrastructure; and the development of human resources in specific areas. Government institutional…
