This report quantifies labour mobility costs in developing countries and simulates the implied adjustment paths of employment and wages following a change in trade policy. High mobility costs are shown to reduce the potential gains to trade reform.

This book explains why countries, especially developing countries, change their trade policies over the course of history. It does so through an interdisciplinary approach which borrows analyses from both political science and economics.

Does what economies export matter for development? If so, can industrial policies improve on the export basket generated by the market? This reviews relevant literature and takes stock of conceptual, empirical, and policy viewpoints, and assesses indicators that can guide public sector interventions.
