Growth and Reducing Inequality

The Growth and Reducing Inequality Working Paper Series is a joint effort of the G-24 and Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung New York to gather and disseminate a diverse range of perspectives and research on trends, drivers, and policy responses relevant to developing country efforts to boost growth and reduce inequality. The series comprises selected policy-oriented research papers contributed by presenters at a special workshop of the G-24 held in Geneva (September 2017) in collaboration with the International Labor Organization and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, as well as relevant sessions in G-24 Technical Group Meetings.

Infrastructure Finance in the Developing World

The Infrastructure Finance in the Developing World Working Paper Series is a joint research effort by the Global Green Growth Institute and the G-24 that explores the challenges and opportunities for scaling up infrastructure finance in emerging markets and developing countries. Each paper addresses a unique piece of the infrastructure finance puzzle and provides critical analysis that will give impetus to international discourse and play a catalytic role in the creation and success of new development finance institutions. The papers have been authored by top experts in their respective fields, and the process has been carefully guided by the leadership of both organizations. This work has important implications for the post-2015 environment, given the essential role infrastructure must play in achieving sustainable development. To this end, GGGI and the G-24 look forward to further development and operationalization of the contents of these papers.

UNCTAD

The G-24/UNCTAD Discussion Paper Series is a collection of research papers prepared under the UNCTAD Project of Technical Support to the Intergovernmental Group of Twenty-Four on International Monetary Affairs (G-24) which lasted from 1992 to 2010.  

 

The G-24/UNCTAD Project, which was administered by UNCTAD’s Macroeconomic and Development Policies Branch, aimed at enhancing the understanding of policy makers in developing countries of the complex issues in the international monetary and financial system, and raising awareness outside developing countries of the need to introduce a development dimension into the discussion of international financial and institutional reform.  

 

The research papers are discussed among experts and policy makers at the meetings of the G-24 Technical Group, and provide inputs to the meetings of the G-24 Ministers and Deputies in their preparations for negotiations and discussions in the IMF’s International Monetary and Financial Committee and the Joint IMF/ IBRD Development Committee, as well as in other forums.  

 

The volumes in this database comprise papers published from 2000 to 2003 jointly by UNCTAD and the Center for International Development at Harvard University in the G-24 Discussion Paper Series under the coordination of Professor Dani Rodrik of the Kennedy School of Government. From 2004 until 2010 these studies were published jointly by UNCTAD and the G-24. For some time, the series were led by Professor Gerald Helleiner, and from 2006 to 2012 Professor Jomo Sundaram was G-24 Research Coordinator.  The studies published prior to 2000 by UNCTAD in the collection International Monetary and Financial Issues for the 1990s are available at: https://digitallibrary.un.org/search?f1=author&as=1&sf=title&so=a&rm=&m1=e&p1=Intergovernmental+Group+of+Twenty-four+on+International+Monetary+Affairs+and+Development&ln=en .
