Policies to Develop Human Resources
| |
| Now that the importance of human capital in attracting FDI is understood, the next
question is: what are the past HRD policy experiences of host developing countries that
have strived to attract inward FDI? This section focuses on formal education policies to
attract FDI. While vocational training policies also help improve human resources of host
developing countries, they are likely to be more important after some influx of FDI into
the economy. |

| |

recent. The MIT released its national SME Development Policy in 2003, a process it has
been working on since 1998. The SME Development Policy was approved by Parliament
on 11 February 2003 and officially launched on 27 August 2003. The overall objective of

9.3 Micro-finance institutions (MFIs): Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
| |
| Micro-finance operators in Tanzania function within the framework of the
Government’s National Micro Finance Policy of 2000. The objectives of this policy are
to provide the basis for the evolution of an efficient and effective micro-finance system
to serve the low segment of society and contribute to economic growth and poverty
reduction (as described in MIT, 2002). The policy establishes a framework within which
micro-finance operators will develop, lays out the principles to guide operations of the
system, defines roles and responsibilities of actors, and provides guidelines for
coordinating mechanisms. The Central Bank was given the mandate to coordinate
implementation of the policy. It is interesting to note that the Micro Finance Policy
includes “gender equity” as a best practice. |

5.1 Determinants of diversification in Africa: Economic Report on Africa 2007
| |
| Diversification and policy variables constitute a two-way process in that diversification
not only influences policy outcomes, but is itself influenced by policy variables.
This proposition naturally leads to the search for those economic and non-economic

Monetary Police is Science, Everything Else is Stamp-Collecting
| |
| This new Eric Leeper paper seems delusional in arguing that monetary policy is science, while fiscal policy is stamp-collecting, but I maybe I'm just being crotchety. The piece also comes up with the new-to-me argument that monetary policy would be even better science if it weren't for fiscal policy mucking things up. |

Insurance Defense Costs
| |
| Does Your Business Insurance Policy Cover Defense Costs Within the Insurance Limit or Defense Costs Outside of the Insurance Limit?
Did you know that a liability policy, which is part of any typical business insurance policy or commercial insurance policy coverage, has two distinct obligations? A liability insurance policy, if it is a general liability, product liability or professional liability insurance policy is designed to protect you against your legal obligation to pay others because you have hurt them and/or have damaged their property. A policy also defends you against claims or lawsuits. In other words, besides paying for claims or suits, a liability policy also pays for their related legal costs and court fees. |
