Impact of the Global Economic Crisis on academic libraries in Malawi
Library Management, 2011Co-Authors: Aubrey Harvey ChaputulaAbstract:Purpose – The aim of this paper is to determine the impact of the Global Economic Crisis on University of Malawi Libraries and Mzuzu University Library.Design/methodology/approach – A case study methodology was adopted, and data were collected using both interview guides and questionnaires.Findings – Findings show that libraries in this study were not affected much by the Global Economic Crisis. Budgets of the libraries had registered steady increments, and this had positively impacted on collection development activities, staff recruitment and training, infrastructure development, and internal and external travels etc. Effects of the Economic Crisis, though minor, were evident by the stagnation of some college budgets and absence of scholarships for training abroad.Research limitations/implications – The study covered four of the five libraries in the University of Malawi namely the Polytechnic, College of Medicine, Bunda College, Kamuzu College of Nursing and Mzuzu University.

The variable impact of the Global Economic Crisis in South East Europe
LSE Research Online Documents on Economics, 2012Co-Authors: Will Bartlett, Ivana PricaAbstract:This paper studies the variable impact of the Global Economic Crisis on the post-communist countries of South East Europe and Turkey. The central question is whether the institutional reforms introduced in the former group of countries during the transition period have improved their ability to cope with external shocks. The transmission mechanisms of the Crisis to the region are identified as contractions of credit, foreign direct investment, remittances, and exports, and their variable impact across countries is assessed. The analysis shows that institutional progress (EU integration, transition, governance) had a negative relationship to Economic growth in SEE during the Crisis period. It concludes that the variable impact of the Global Crisis on the countries of the region can be explained mainly by their different degrees of integration into the EU and Global economy. Institutional reforms that were introduced during the boom period only made countries more internationally integrated and therefore more vulnerable to the impact of the Global Economic Crisis and the more recent Crisis of the euro zone. Thus, institutional reforms and improvements in competitiveness appear to be insufficient on their own to insulate such small open economies from negative influences emanating from the external environment.

The variable impact of the Global Economic Crisis in South East Europe
Ekonomski anali, 2011Co-Authors: Will Bartlett, Ivana PricaAbstract:This paper studies the variable impact of the Global Economic Crisis on the countries of South East Europe. The central question is whether the institutional reforms introduced during the transition period have enabled countries to cope with external shocks such as those associated with the recent Global Economic Crisis. The transmission mechanisms of the Crisis to the region are identified as contractions of credit, foreign direct investment, remittances, and exports, and their variable impact across countries is assessed. Several types of institutions are examined, including the degree to which countries have adopted the acquis communautaire, determined by the extent of their EU integration, progress with transition, and the broad institutional environment measured through the quality of governance. The paper asks whether countries with a more flexible economy due to faster progress with transition reforms were better able to adjust to the impact of external shocks. It concludes that the variable impact of the Global Crisis in the region can be explained mainly by their degree of integration into the Global economy, and that the institutional reforms that were introduced during the boom times have made countries more integrated into the Global economy, and therefore more vulnerable to the impact of the Global Economic Crisis.

green growth green paradox and the Global Economic Crisis
Environmental innovation and societal transitions, 2013Co-Authors: Rick Van Der Ploeg, Cees WithagenAbstract:Abstract A Schumpeterian case can be made for boosting Green Growth in a Global Economic Crisis. The best way to achieve this is a combination of R&D subsidies to redirect growth from polluting to clean Economic activities and a credible, rising carbon tax to speed up the transition to the carbon-free era. If a carbon tax is infeasible, renewables subsidies might be a second-best alternative to reduce the duration of the fossil fuel era and curb cumulative carbon emissions despite some adverse, short-run Green Paradox effects.
