Employment regulations are needed to allow efficient contracting between employers and workers and to protect workers from discriminatory or unfair treatment by employers. In its indicators on , Doing Business measures flexibility in the regulation of hiring, working hours and dismissal in a manner consistent with the conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO). An economy can have the most flexible labor regulations as measured by Doing Business while ratifying and complying with all conventions directly relevant to the factors measured by Doing Business4 and with the ILO core labor standards. No economy can achieve a better score by failing to comply with these conventions. In Africa, Uganda (in 2006), Mozambique (in 2007) and Burkina Faso (in 2008) ena...

Before World War I, most foreign investment in Latin America came from Britain. By World War II, however, the United States had become the main and unchallenged foreign investor in the region. This analysis of the negotiations that took place between the British firm (Pearson and Son) and the Colombian government over oil contracts reveals the reasons for the shift in influence. The company's lack of awareness that Britain had been overtaken by the United States as the hegemonic power in the hemisphere eventually caused the negotiations to collapse. While talks were proceeding, the company failed to consider how much influence the United States had on Colombian internal politics, and it overlooked the history of U.S.-Colombia relations. As a result, Pearson never received oil concession...

This study measures the impact of economic determinants on the international demand for tourist services in Portugal. A panel data set of 15 European countries over the period 1995-2003 is used. This article used appropriate panel data techniques of real per capita income, the price index of tourism service, geographical distance on demand for Portugal tourism services. In contrast to previous studies, this manuscript used a dynamic panel data to solve the problems of serial correlation and endogeneity. The estimate of the relative price elasticity of demand for Portugal's is 0.35 in the short run and 0.37 in the long run. The corresponding estimates for income elasticity on demand are 0.402 and 0.391 respectively.

Insurance markets have changed radically and deeply in the last 20 years. Deregulation, globalization of insurance institutions, intensified competition, electronic commerce, bancassurance, and the emergence of new risks are among the challenges faced by insurance markets. These developing trends pose both global and local challenges for insurance firms. The purpose of this article is to analyze the effect of globalization on international insurance markets. The focus is to highlight the global similarities of national insurance markets and the local contingencies that create differences among markets.

A prime factor of trade liberalization, investment, eludes a comprehensive coverage in the multilateral rule based regime under the World Trade Organization. The Agreement on Trade Related Investment Measures, though one exclusively concentrated on investment, has proved to be insufficient as regards various barriers facing liberalization of cross-border investment flows are concerned. The proposed Multilateral Investment Agreement of Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development Group of countries also having failed to come up as planned, the field remains unoccupied even today. Therefore, it is high time that a consensus emerges at the multilateral level as regards basic rules of fair-play and liberalization of host-country measures towards foreign investment flows.
