Utilities Reforms And Corruption In Developing Countries: This paper shows empirically that "Privatization" in the energy, telecommunications, and water sectors, and the introduction of independent regulators in those sectors, have not always had the expected effects on access, affordability, or quality of services.

Is Evaluation In Practice: IS evaluation exercises continued to engender scepticism. The evaluation of IS investment is considered a 'Wicked problem' and there are good reasons for this judgment.

Is There a Link Between Pension-Fund Assets and Economic Growth? - A Cross-Country Study: Pension fund assets have increased markedly during recent decades, and there are signs that this trend will continue, particularly given demographic changes and the current pattern of pension reform towards funded systems.

Immigration or Bust? Options for Securing the Future Viability of the UK State Pension System: As a result of population ageing and declining fertility, the UK state pension system is unlikely to remain viable in the very long run without a steady inflow of young immigrant workers from abroad. However, with prudent economic management and continuing economic growth, immigration requirements can be contained and modest...; Tags: City University, pension; White papers 2004-11-01
Evaluating Pension Reform: The article tries to make explicit notions that are often implicit and sometimes not addressed at all. Discussion of the relative merits of "NDC-type" systems, or of pension reform more generally, cannot take place without this being done. It is necessary to consider not merely public pension systems, and as...; Tags: Benefits, City University, pension; White papers 2004-09-09
Employee Saving and Investment Decisions in Defined Contribution Pension Plans: Survey Evidence From the UK: In recent years there has been a significant shift in retirement income provision in the UK from the situation where employers offer defined benefit pensions, to one where defined contribution schemes are more common.

What Is a Promise From the Government Worth? Measuring and Assessing Political Risk in State and Personal Pension Schemes in the United Kingdom: There are three key types of political risk facing state and personal pension schemes: those induced by demographic, economic and pure political factors.

Host Country Impacts Of Inward FDI: Why Such Different Answers?: A substantial literature has grown up around the issue of how inward direct investment affects host countries.
