Title Mapping Energy Use and Taxation in OECD

Themes Taxation (Main), Energy

Format 21 x 28

Pages 150

Price €45 $63 £40 ¥5800 MXN810 Release date 29/01/2013 (forecast) Rights available in all languages except English and French.

Description The taxation of different sources and uses of energy (particularly those that give rise to emissions of greenhouse gases) will play a key role in governments’ efforts to mitigate the scale of global warming and climate change. At present, effective tax rates vary widely across different sources and uses of energy within countries, as well as across countries. This publication provides the first systematic statistics of such effective tax rates – on a comparable basis - for each OECD country, together with ‘maps’ that illustrate graphically the wide variations in tax rates per unit of energy or per tonne of CO2 emissions. These statistics and maps should be an invaluable tool for policymakers, analysts and researchers considering both domestic fiscal reform in response to climate change and other environmental challenges (e.g. to achieve emissions reductions targets most cost-effectively) and wider international responses.

Description Most policy makers agree that competitive neutrality is a sound

idea and member governments of the OECD have demonstrated their commitment to a level playing field. This report has a twofold objective. First, it identifies the main challenges in obtaining competitive neutrality between public and private entities operating in mixed markets. Second, it sheds light on some of the remedies to these challenges based on actual practices in OECD countries. It is organised around the following eight “building blocks” that governments should address if they seek to obtain competitive neutrality.

Contents Part I. Introduction Part II. Aspects of competitive neutrality

1. Streamlining the operational form of government business 2. Identifying the costs of any given function 3. Achieving a commercial rate of return 4. Accounting for public service obligations 5.

Release date 15/12/2012 (forecast)


Description Each year, the OECD circulates a survey on the borrowing needs of

member countries. The responses are incorporated in the OECD Sovereign Borrowing Outlook to provide regular updates of trends and developments associated with sovereign borrowing requirements and debt levels from the perspective of public debt managers. The Outlook makes a policy distinction between funding strategy and borrowing requirements. The central government marketable gross borrowing needs, or requirements, are calculated on the basis of budget deficits and redemptions. The funding strategy entails decisions on how borrowing needs are going to be financed using different instruments (e.g. long-term, short-term, nominal, indexed, etc.) and distribution channels.

Accordingly, the OECD Sovereign Borrowing Outlook provides data and information on borrowing needs and funding policies for the OECD area and country groupings, including:

Gross borrowing requirements

Net borrowing requirements

Central government marketable debt

Funding strategies and instruments

Distribution channels Further reading - OECD Economic Outlook Volume 2012 Issue 1 - Economic Policy Reforms 2012: Going for Growth - Public Sector Compensation in Times of Austerity (see separate

Release date 26/09/2012 Rights available in all languages except English and French. Description Peace processes hold the promise of re-starting non-violent efforts

towards creating more equitable, resilient and developed societies. Yet, such processes are politically and psychologically complex, as well as high-risk. Many fail and such failure is harmful, as it reduces confidence and increases cynicism amongst parties to a conflict, citizens and international partners alike. International support can help a peace process to succeed but its nature and quality matter greatly.

“The Missing Piece” identifies seven recommendations to improve the quality of support that states and international organizations provide to peace processes. It does this through a thorough analysis of: the characteristics of today’s violent conflicts, the factors that influence the success and failure of a peace process and the current strengths & weaknesses of international support.

Release date 06/06/2012 Rights available in all languages except English and French. Description Empowerment of those living in poverty is both a critical driver and

an important measure of poverty reduction. It is the decisions and actions of poor people themselves that will bring about sustainable improvements in their lives and livelihoods. Inequitable power relations exclude poor people from decision-making and prevent them from taking action. Sustainable poverty reduction needs poor people to be both the agents and beneficiaries of economic growth - to directly participate in, contribute to and benefit from growth processes. Strengthening poor people’s organizations, providing them with more control over assets and promoting their influence in economic governance will improve the terms on which they engage in markets. This economic empowerment combined with political and social empowerment will make growth much more effective in reducing poverty. This report aims to build donor understanding of empowerment and how best to support it.

Systems examines the aid instruments that donors can use to assist developing countries in strengthening their tax systems. From general or sector budget support, to basket financing modalities and other joint instruments, stand-alone bilateral aid and South-South regional programmes, it looks at the strengths and weaknesses of each modality. It considers the needs and context to which each one best responds and describes how mixed “packages” may often best fit the bill. Crucially, it also affords thoughtful insights into how tax reform can yield governance dividends and provides examples from the experience of a number of developing countries, culminating in six illuminating case studies in tax reform. Although they consider difficulties as well as successes, they offer practical pointers to future directions for research and action.

Description Latin America has weathered the recent trubulence in the global economy with relative strength, but the region now faces - beyond the short-term global uncertainty - important medium-term risks. Policy makers must lay foundations for inclusive and sustainable growth. SMEs play a key role, as they comprise over 95% of firms and employ over 60% of inhabitants. Nevertheless, relative to SMEs in the OECD, on average SMEs in Latin America exhibit low levels of relative productivity and weak links with the rest of the economy. In light of several decades of blanket SME policies with limited impact,this report proposes a more integrated approach that caters to the productive context and firm specificities. SMEs are part of a greater productive structure, and productive development policies need to be designed to address the particularities of heterogeneous SMEs. Providing policies which are adapted to the productive context requires coordination between various policy areas and levels of government to ensure that inteventions are complimentary and effective. With this perspective in mind, the report explores key policy areas that address some of the main challenges to SMEs in the region including access to finance, skill development, innovation, and productive development.

Description First launched in 2010, Perspectives on Global Development (PGD) is OECD’s annual flagship publication on emerging development issues. The PGD takes the new geography of economic growth, poverty and power as a point of departure. Each year, the report identifies, analyses and provides evidence and policy solutions to the most pressing global development challenges in the new multipolar world. It provides an overview of global trends and structural transformations in the world economy and informs policy makers in developing countries on the implications in the formulation and implementation of national policies. Each year, the report focuses on a different topic covering diverse socio-economic facets of development from trade, development finance, infrastructure, production development and innovation to gender, employment, migration, fiscal and social policies. During the past decade, the global economic centre of gravity has shifted eastwards and southwards, creating new opportunities for economic co-operation, trade and investment but also new challenges. This “shifting wealth” is a game changer for economic policy and is at the centre of the first three editions of the Perspectives on Global Development, which document the phenomenon (PGD 2010) and analyse its implications for social cohesion (PGD 2012) and productive growth strategies (PGD 2013).

Description What does the OECD have to say about the state of education today? What are the main OECD messages on early childhood education, teacher policies and tertiary education? What about student performance, educational spending and equity in education? OECD work on these important education topics and others have been brought together in a single accessible source updating the first edition of Education Today which came out in March 2009.

Organised into eight chapters, this report examines early childhood education, schooling, transitions beyond initial education, higher education, adult learning, outcomes and returns, equity, and innovation. The chapters are structured around key findings and policy directions emerging from recent OECD educational analyses. Each entry highlights the main message in a concise and accessible way, with a brief explanation and reference to the original OECD source.

Description Most parents know instinctively that spending more time with

their children and being actively involved in their education will give their children a good head-start in life. But since most parents have to juggle competing demands at work and home, there never seems to be enough time or they feel ill-equipped to help.

This book from OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) has some good news for concerned parents: it does not require a Ph.D or unlimited hours for parents to make a difference in their children's education. In fact, many parent-child activities that are associated with better reading performance among students involve relatively little time and no specialised knowledge. What these activities do demand is genuine interest and active engagement.

Contents CHAPTER 1. Get involved! CHAPTER 2. Read your children a story CHAPTER 3. Talk with your children about the world around them CHAPTER 4. Get involved at school because you want to, not

because you have to CHAPTER 5.

Description This book uses PISA data to show that a substantial proportion of

students in OECD countries now attend schools that have high degrees of autonomy in different areas of decision making. But effective school autonomy depends on effective leaders, including system leaders, principals, teacher leaders, senior teachers, and head teachers, as well as strong support systems. That, in turn, requires well-distributed leadership, new types of training and development for school leaders, and appropriate support and incentives.

Description Arts education is often said to be a means of developing critical and creative thinking. It has also been argued to enhance performance in non-arts academic subjects such as mathematics, science, reading and writing, and to strengthen students’ academic motivation, self-confidence, and ability to communicate and cooperate effectively. Arts education thus seems to have a positive impact on the three subsets of skills that we define as “skills for innovation”: subject-based skills, including in non-arts subjects; skills in thinking and creativity; and behavioural and social skills.

This report examines the state of empirical knowledge about the impact of arts education on these skills. The kinds of arts education examined include arts classes in school, arts-integrated classes (where the arts are taught as a support for an academic subject), and arts study undertaken outside of school. The report does not deal with education about the arts or cultural education, which may be included in all kinds of subjects.

Description What does it mean for education that our societies are increasingly

diverse? How is global economic power shifting towards new countries? In what ways are working patterns changing?

Trends Shaping Education 2010 brings together international evidence to address questions like these. To make the content accessible, each trend is presented on a double page, containing an introduction, two charts with brief descriptive text and a set of pertinent questions for education.

The trends presented are based on high quality international data, primarily from the OECD, the World Bank and the United Nations. The charts contain dynamic links so that readers can access the original data. Trends Shaping Education 2012 is organised around five broad themes, each with its own “find out more” section:

The dynamics of globalization. Evolving social challenges. The changing world of work. Transformation of childhood. ICT: the next generation.

This book is designed to give policy makers, researchers, educational leaders, administrators and teachers a robust, non-specialist source to inform strategic thinking and stimulate reflection on the challenges facing education, whether in schools, universities or programmes for older adults. It will also be of interest to students and the wider public, including parents.

Release date 01/05/2013 (forecast) Rights available in all languages except English and French. Description More than 5 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed every year

in OECD countries. Mortality rates are declining, but not as fast as for other big killers such as heart disease, and cancer survival rates show almost a four-fold difference across countries. In short, many countries are not doing as well as they could in the fight against cancer.

Cancer care: assuring quality to improve survival surveys the policy trends in cancer care over recent years and looks at survival rates to identify the why some countries are doing better than others. It sets out what governments should do to reduce the burden of cancer in their countries. As well as an adequate level of resourcing, a comprehensive national cancer control plan appears critical, emphasising initiatives such as early detection and fast-track treatment pathways. Countries also need better data, particularly around patients’ experiences of care, in order to provide high quality, continuously improving cancer care.

Rights available in all languages except English and French. Description Gender gaps are pervasive in all walks of economic life and imply

large losses in terms of foregone productivity and living standards. This new OECD report focuses on how best to close these gaps.

Key policy messages are as follows: • Greater gender equality in educational attainment has a strong positive effect on economic growth; • Stereotyping needs to be addressed in educational choices at school from a young age; • Good and affordable childcare is a key factor for better gender equality in employment, but policy change should also support more equitable family structures; • Support policies for women-owned enterprises should target all existing firms, and equal access to finance for male and female entrepreneurs should be assured.

Description Alcoholic beverages, and the problems they engender, have been familiar fixtures in human societies since the beginning of recorded history. Worldwide, alcohol is responsible for a larger share of the burden of ill health and premature mortality than tobacco or obesity. It accounts for 1 in 15 deaths in the European region, and for an even larger proportion of disability, especially in men. Its social costs are estimated in excess of 1% of GNP in high- and middle-income countries. Drinking is a social phenomenon with strong cultural connotations, and is driven by social norms more than other health-related behaviours. This is reflected in unique patterns of social disparity in drinking, showing the well-to-do often more prone to hazardous use of alcohol, and a polarisation of problem-drinking at the two ends of the social spectrum. Governments can play a major role in tackling the harms associated with alcohol use, and have many tools at their disposal to achieve this goal. Some policy approaches are more effective and efficient than others, depending on their ability to trigger changes in social norms, and on how well they can target the groups that are most at risk. This publication provides a wide-ranging assessment of the health, social and economic impacts of key policy options for tackling alcohol-related harms in three OECD countries, extracting policy-relevant messages for a broader set of countries.

Contents 1. Introduction. Alcohol: a social phenomenon 2. Recent trends in alcohol consumption in the OECD area 3. Social disparities in alcohol drinking 4. Tackling alcohol-related harms: what are the options? 5. Assessing the health and economic impacts of key policy options 6. Conclusions

Description Developing growth strategies that promote greener lifestyles

requires a good understanding of what factors affect people’s behaviour towards the environment. Recent OECD work based on periodic surveys of more than 10 000 households across a number of countries and areas represents a breakthrough by providing a common framework to collect unique empirical evidence for better policy design.

This publication presents a data overview of the most recent round of the survey implemented in 5 areas (energy, food, transport, waste and water) and 11 countries. Analysis comparing the data across countries, policy conditions, and the attitudinal profiles of households reveals which measures most effectively change behaviour. . Each round of the survey also allows to track behavioural changes over time and to explore new emerging issues.

The new survey confirms the importance of providing the right economic incentives for influencing our decisions. The findings indicate that “soft” measures such as labelling and public information campaigns also have a significant complementary role to play. Spurring desirable behaviour change requires a mix of these instruments. This book is a milestone for all those interested by the challenging question of ways to promote greener behaviour, from policy makers to individual citizens.

Description Illegal trade in environmentally sensitive goods, such as threatened

wildlife, timber, hazardous waste, and ozone-depleting substances, has been a long-standing issue in the international trade and environment agenda. The nature of such illegal trade makes it difficult to fully understand its extent and impact on the environment. Developing effective policies to reduce illegal trade requires a clear understanding of what drives this trade and the circumstances under which it thrives. In this report, evidence based on customs data and information from licensing schemes is used to document the scale of illegal trade, as well as the economic and environmental impacts of such trade. National and international policies have an important role to play in regulating and reducing illegal trade and the report highlights a range of measures that can be taken at both levels.

Description This report demonstrates the benefits of a green growth

perspective for water resources management (WRM). It pays particular attention to transition: how to inject green growth elements in WRM policies, or in national water strategies; and how to make reform happen (what are the benefits; how they can materialise.

The report builds on OECD analyses and a wealth of case studies collected by several institutions. It covers four main issues: allocation (to where water is most needed); investment in ecologically sensitive water storage and distribution systems (to guarantee access to the resource); water-related innovation (e.g. smart water systems, which can save water, energy and investment costs) and the policies which can stimulate it; and water supply and sanitation (as improved access yields significant benefits on health, the environment and the economy.

The report also considers a series of cross-cutting issues: linkages with biodiversity; pricing; equity; governanace (national/local initiatives, the role of communities); and strategic planning (a key political tool to make reform happen).

Description This book examines the concept of the compact city and the

implication of the current urban context for compact city policies. It explores their potential outcomes, particularly in terms of how it can contribute to Green Growth, and develops indicators to monitor compact city and to track policy performance. Compact city policies currently being implemented across the OECD are reviewed in relation to Green Growth objectives, and providing ideas to achieve better outcomes. It assesses key governance challenges faced by decision-makers as they seek to implement practical compact city strategies. This report is thus intended as “food for thought” for national, sub-national and municipal governments as they seek to address their economic and environmental challenges. through the development and implementation of spatial strategies in pursuit of Green Growth objectives. It also illustrates best practices (which present key elements of successful compact city policies) based on empirical evidence that can be shared across OECD member countries.

Description In many OECD countries, governments have invested large amounts of public money to support renewable energy (RE) development and are requiring significant quantities of it to be sold by energy providers. But what are the economic impacts of these policies on the rural regions where deployment takes place? How can RE bring the greatest benefit to host regions? Drawing on case studies in 16 regions in 10 countries, research finds that while RE indeed represents an opportunity for stimulating economic growth in rural communities, its development benefits are not automatic. Realising them requires a complex and flexible policy framework and a long-term strategy, as well as a realistic appreciation of the potential gains from RE deployment. Forging a positive connection between RE development and local economic growth requires more coherent strategies, the right set of local conditions, and a place-based approach to deployment.

Description Austerity drives are leading governments to reduce operational

cuts through the wage bill and staffing levels. A big lesson from past experience suggests that when pay cuts and freezes are necessary, it is essential to assess the savings relative to the costs – the loss of institutional knowledge if key contributors retire or resign, the time lost by managers and employees who have to deal with the issues related to vacancies and reorganizations, the lost productivity while people acquire new skills and learn new jobs, and the falloff in performance among employees who become discouraged or unsatisfied. This assessment does not appear to have taken place in the current crisis. This report argues that any new approaches to public sector pay must help to: enhance external competitiveness of salaries; promote internal equity throughout the public sector; reflect the values of public organisations; and align compensation with government’s core strategic objectives. It calls for a recognition of the supply and demand for specific expertise.

Description Few subjects are as controversial – and poorly understood – as

globalisation. While in its broadest sense, economic globalisation is as old as trade itself, the recent financial crisis has amplified the complexity associated with the global interconnectedness of the world’s economies and its ramifications on our livelihoods.

This publication reviews the major turning points in the history of economic integration, and in particular the pace at which it has accelerated since the 1990s. It also considers its impact in four crucial areas, namely employment, development, the environment and financial stability: does globalisation foster development or create inequality? Does it promote or destroy jobs? Is it damaging to the environment or compatible with its preservation? Are we heading towards de-globalisation or can globalisation in fact enable recovery?

Description The balance of economic power is shifting. Countries that were once poor are becoming economic powerhouses. Yet poverty persists worldwide, depriving billions of people of basic necessities and the prospects of creating a better life. How are we responding to this challenge? This book explores the multi-faceted world of aid and development co-operation – a range of global, and sometimes contested, efforts aimed at reducing the impact of poverty. It traces the history of these efforts, explains where they come from and where they are going, and asks whether they are achieving as much as they could. It also examines some of the ways in which development efforts can be made more effective in achieving lasting benefits through good governance and the creation of a deeper partnership between developed and developing countries. And it looks at how the economic emergence of countries like China and India is bringing a new dynamic to development co-operation.

Description The Internet is now a fundamental infrastructure supporting the

economy, having evolved from a data network connecting PCs with wires to a much broader network of portable devices. It is also on the cusp of a much larger expansion to objects that typically did not have communications capabilities: the “Internet of things” is projected to have more connections than the people using them. This raises many important socio-economic and political issues for stakeholders, as economies and societies become increasingly inter-meshed.

Supported by time series data, this publication begins with an overview of trends and highlights how the Internet sector has proven to be resilient during the recent economic crisis. It then examines the various drivers and impacts of Internet use and deployment, as well as emerging technologies, e-health, digital content, security and privacy, and reflects on a methodology for measuring the Internet economy.

Description Space systems –earth observation and meteorological satellites,

space communications, global positioning systems– are becoming an indispensable tool in the international effort to track and better understand our atmosphere, oceans, forests, fresh water resources and land use. As global food supplies increasingly face political, demographic, economic and climate-related challenges, space applications play a fundamental role in providing more accurate and timely information on agricultural production prospects as well as on fish stocks’ evolutions (for example, governments, farmers and researchers can find today a range of near real time information on vegetation and land use, particularly on what types of crops are being planted around the world). This OECD publication reviews key trends in global food supplies and provides an assessment of current and forthcoming capabilities of space technologies. It also examines diverse socio-economic impacts which may be derived from the uses of selected space applications (e.g. improved precision agriculture practices using GPS, from planting to harvest, can reduce in some cases inputs costs and increase productivity), while considering the sustainabibility of different economic models in place today.

Description This is the 18th edition of the Agricultural Outlook and the eighth prepared jointly with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It brings together the commodity, policy and country expertise of both organisations, and input from collaborating member countries. The report provides world market trends for biofuels, cereals, oilseeds, sugar, meats, fish and dairy products over the 2012-2021 period and contains an evaluation of recent developments, and key issues and uncertainties in those commodity markets. A jointly-developed modelling system, based on the OECD’s AGLINK and on the FAO’s COSIMO models, facilitates consistency in the projections. This edition includes a special feature on the challenge of increasing agricultural productivity growth in a sustainable manner.
