| Resumo: | The 1999 Annual World Bank Conference on
Development Economics, the eleventh anniversary, was held at
the Bank on April 28-30, 1999. The discussions focused on
three trends of development: 1) the emerging international
financial architecture; 2) challenges to social development;
and 3) lessons from a decade of transition. Twelve papers
were presented on a variety of topics including corporate
governance, short-term capital flows, and the relationships
between crime, violence, and inequitable development. The
keynote addresses by Noble Laureate Kenneth Arrow, Secretary
of the US Treasury Lawrence Summers, and Joseph E. Stiglitz,
senior vice president, Development Economics and chief
economist at the World Bank and former chair of the US
Council of Economic Advisors, broach many of the topics that
were central to the conference. They examine technological
knowledge and innovation and global integration and look
back at the arduous process of transition in the former
Soviet Union. |
