Participation of Ipalmo to the GDN Global
Research Project
"The Impact of Rich Countries'
Policies on Poverty: A Global View"
Ipalmo is a GDN partner in the Global
Research Project (GRP) focused on the impact of rich countries'
policies on poverty. The objective of this research project
is to analyze and, to the extent possible, measure the
impact of key policies pursued by rich countries on
development, and in particular, poverty, in poor countries.
the research project will pursue two separate but closely
interlinked goals:
-
to learn more about the impact of aid, foreign direct
investment, migration, and trade as a single policy
intervention treated in isolation;
-
to learn more about the impact of multiple policy
interventions undertaken simultaneously.
The research methodology envisages the realization of:
-
"Global Impact Analysis", facing the impact of each
policy on all developing countries;
-
"Country Impact Studies", analyzing the
simultaneous impact of several policies in each single
country.
In the GRP, Ipalmo has the scientific direction of the "Global Study on Trade",
where it plays a twofold role:
-
financing and overseeing three Country Impact Studies (Colombia, Morocco, Tunisia)
and monitoring other six Studies;
-
overseeing the activities of the "Trade" section of the Global Impact Analysis.

GDN-IPALMO
Research Program 2004-2005
Biennal program on socio-economic vulnerability
In collaboration with the Human Development and
Social Protection (HDSP) Unit and the Development
Economics (DEC) Research Group of the World Bank,
the aim of the GDN-IPALMO Research Program is to assess the
efficacy of international trade policy, specifically the
multilateral trade system based on GATT/WTO, in boosting
trade flows of developing countries. To reach this goal we
carry out three integrated lines of research:
-
firstly, an overall assessment of the trade liberation
process actually experienced by developing countries,
with a specific focus on the efficacy of the WTO policy,
through an empirical analysis on the relationship
between international trade flows and tariffs in the
developing countries in the last decades;
-
secondly, a specific assessment of the effects of trade
liberalization on the level of wellbeing in developing
countries, through an analysis about the linkages
between macro shocks and socio-economic well being,
taking account of weak institutions and economic
structures, and the role of international macro shocks
in determining their level of vulnerability;
-
thirdly, a sectoral assessment of the effects of trade
liberalization on SMEs in developing countries, in order
to test if trade liberalization process and the growing
integration of the global economy enhance competences of
firms in developing countries, enabling them to compete
internationally.
Summary Project Note
-------------------
VII GDN Annual Conference
"Institutions
and Development: At the Nexus of Global Change"
 Key sessions include ‘Institutions and Global Development,’
‘Institutional Reforms in Transition and Developing
Countries’ and ‘Poverty Alleviation and Sustainable
Development: The Role of Institutions.’
Nearly 450 researchers from across disciplines and regions
are expected to attend the Conference.
Six focused research workshops, both before and after the
Conference will represent effective vehicles for capacity
building involving peer review of research and intensive
exchanges between established and junior researchers on key
GDN projects. Ipalmo co-organizes the workshop titled
"Impact of Rich Countries' Policies on Poverty".
