It introduces new, second-generation methods for quantifying regulatory barriers and applies those methods to a wide range of services sectors — financial, infrastructure and social — in a broad spectrum of countries. It uses advanced modeling techniques to project the sectoral, economy-wide and regional effects of services reforms, as well as highlight their adjustment costs. The empirical results offer fresh guidance to policy-makers, who need better information bases with which to prioritize services reforms and devise pathways to achieving them. The empirical methods provide invaluable tools to academics, researchers and policy advisors, who can use them to further improve those information bases. \u003ci\u003ePriorities and Pathways in Services Reform: Part I — Quantitative Studies\u003c\/i\u003e presents new methodological frameworks for assessing and prioritizing services reforms, and provides an up-to-date evaluation of the policy impacts across a range of services markets and countries. \u003ci\u003ePart II — Political Economy\u003c\/i\u003e furthers the conversation by analyzing what it takes for a reform to succeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou may also be interested in \u003cb\u003ePriorities and Pathways in Services Reform: Part II — Political Economy Studies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasuring and Modelling Regulatory Restrictions in Services \u003ci\u003e(Philippa Dee)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpact of Regulatory Barriers to Trade in Insurance Services \u003ci\u003e(Philippa Dee and Huong Dinh)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpact of Regulatory Barriers to Trade in Banking Services \u003ci\u003e(Huong Dinh)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegulatory Restrictions in Logistics Services \u003ci\u003e(Claire Hollweg and Marn-Heong Wong)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpact of Air and Maritime Restrictions on International Transport Margins \u003ci\u003e(Patricia Sourdin)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestructuring and Productivity in Rail Transport \u003ci\u003e(Pedro Cantos, José M Pastor and Lorenzo Serrano)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSectoral Impacts of Reforms in Electricity and Gas Markets \u003ci\u003e(Philippa Dee)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpact of Trade Barriers on the Productivity of Higher Education Institutions \u003ci\u003e(Philippa Dee)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarriers to Trade in Healthcare Services in ASEAN Countries \u003ci\u003e(Philippa Dee)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssessing Services Reform \u003ci\u003e(Philippa Dee)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Applied economics, graduate students, researchers and policy advisors in the areas of structural reform and economic integration.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143946617072,"sku":"9789814447744","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814447744_p0.jpg?v=1763691058","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814447744","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
