Catch Up

Electronic business is a concept that has been adopted by businesses all over the world. The developing world takes it as a viable economic opportunity to catch up with other economies. A significant underlying factor in this development is the evolution of telecommunication infrastructure, especially in developing economies. In this chapter, we have synthesized this critical evolution in India. In the process, we found that there is a second layer of evolution into mobile communications and subsequently mobile business, which is gaining momentum in India. We conclude with an outlook for the future for these developments.

Roller Coaster

While Singapore is grappling with policy options to sustain its success over the next 50 years, the developing world is wondering what made it such a success so far. By looking at some developing countries that are stuck in a roller-coaster ride of economic development I highlight some policy lessons they can learn from Singapore's success story. In a nutshell, as pointed out by Singapore's economic architect, Dr. Goh Keng Swee, non-economic factors matter more than the economic factors for a successful take-off of a developing economy. The paper also highlights some complementary development strategies that are instructive to developing economies.

Abstract Background: Unlike the classical view, a new path of economic growth and development among the emerging and developing nations seems to have distinct impact on environment. Customary patterns of production and consumption have undergone significant changes and the new “growth with non-smoke-staks” has put the developing economies on a path that can change Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) fundamentally. With this view, the current study attempts to examine how these growth patterns among developing world have impacted the degradation of environment. We argue that including income per capita and share of manufacturing would not capture the full growth dynamic of developing and emerging countries and therefore it masks the real impacts on environmental degradation. To this end, we introduce the Economic Complexity Index (ECI) to the model to reflect the full impacts of new growth approaches on CO2 emission levels by using a panel data analyses of 100 emerging and developing countries over 1963-2018 period.Results: The results indicate that complexity of the economies of developing and emerging countries has added to the CO2 emission levels in absolute terms but it has helped to reduce the CO2 intensity. Conclusions: The implications of the findings for developing and developed countries could be quite significant. For advanced economies, a downwardly-shifted Kuznets curve implies that, on one hand, technology transfers have been successful in curbing the environmental degradation of developing economies and, on the other hand, the economic transformation strategies of developing world is working in a sustainable way.

Laws And Policies

Purpose In this study, the authors examine the issue of corruption in the government institutions of developing countries. Additionally, this study aims to answer the following research question: How do developing countries implement and enforce these anti-corruption policies? Specifically, the authors look at the laws adopted in different developing countries to deal with issues related to corruption. Design/methodology/approach The authors use the qualitative approach to examine the causes of recent corruption among government officials in developing countries such as Nigeria, India, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. A comparative approach was used to compare and contrast the anti-corruption practices of developing and developed countries. Findings The findings indicate that corruption is rampant in much of the developing world. On a positive note, the authors have found evidence of actions taken by governments in these developing economies to rapidly deal with issues of corruption. All the countries analyzed in this paper have developed anti-corruption policies and related acts to detect and punish the perpetrators of corruption. Originality/value This paper provides a greater insight as to how the anti-corruption policies are formulated and enforced in the developing world. Specifically, the authors provide examples of different emerging countries and their approaches to developing and enforcing anti-corruption policies. This guidance can help others around the world to deal with anti-corruption policies in their countries. Although the authors have learned a lot about the detrimental effects of corruption and laws enacted to combat it, the next step is to examine the processes used by the developing countries to develop these anti-corruption laws and policies.

The Past

In a world increasingly driven by data, most developed economies are leveraging big data to achieve greater feats in various sectors of their economies. From advertisement, commerce, healthcare, and energy to defense, big data has given new insights into the huge volume of data accumulated over the past few decades that is helping reshape our knowledge and understanding of these sectors. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the state of big data in the developing world, where investments in IT infrastructure are dangerously low, keeping huge proportions of the population offline. This chapter discussed the challenges that exist in developing countries, which affect the smooth take-off of big data and data science as well as recommendations as to how countries and companies in the developing world can overcome these challenges to harness the benefits and opportunities presented by this technology.
