Macroeconomic Impacts of External Shocks and Anti-Shock Policies in Bolivia: A CGE Analysis
Luis Carlos Jemio, Manfred Wiebelt
Bolivia's mid-term growth prospects are promising but these prospects could be lost, due to social unrest and political instability, if the country does not solve its short-term economic problems,...
Operationalizing Pro-Poor Growth - Country Case Study: Bolivia
Stephan Klasen, Melanie Grosse, Rainer Thiele, Jann Lay, Julius Spatz, Manfred Wiebelt
This case study examines to what extent Bolivia has been able to achieve pro-poor growth, what the mechanisms of achieving (or failing to achieve) pro-poor growth have been, and what options are...
Rainer Schweickert, Rainer Thiele, Manfred Wiebelt
In this paper, a real-financial CGE model is employed for Bolivia to simulate the macroeconomic and distributional effects of exchange rate policy in a highly dollarized economy. Overall,...
Resource Booms, Inequality, and Poverty: The Case of Gas in Bolivia
Jann Lay, Rainer Thiele, Manfred Wiebelt
This paper addresses the question of whether the Bolivian gas boom of the 1990s has bypassed large parts of the poor population, thereby leading to increasing inequalities in an already unequal...
Pro-poor Growth in Bolivia: Accounting for External Shocks and Policy Reforms
Jann Lay, Rainer Thiele, Manfred Wiebelt
