"Xie, Shah, Capannelli and Wang use a contingent valuation method to study the design of economic incentives to phase out polluting motorcycles in Bangkok. Like in many other cities, the government of Bangkok has been considering a series of control measures to discourage and eventually eliminate the use of heavily polluting motorcycles. Two of the possible policy instruments under consideration are charges on those polluting vehicles which are operating in the streets and compensation to those polluting vehicles which would stay off the roads. The policy research questions then include (1) what are the charges implied or compensation provided, given a policy target, and (2) what are the reactions of motorcycle owners to those charges or compensation. To answer those policy questions, the authors conducted a stochastic contingent valuation survey in Bangkok to question motorcycle owners on the likelihood they would keep or give up riding their motorcycles in the streets given certain charges or compensations. Results show that among others, about 80 percent of those motorcycles which did not pass the emission tests would be off the streets if a charge of 1,000 baht a year was levied, while under a one-time compensation of 10,000 baht, the number would be about 50 percent. The authors also estimate the average values of maximum willingness to pay (WTP) for staying on the road and minimum willingness to accept (WTA)

This report summarizes the findings of a study partially financed by the joint United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)/World Bank Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP). A plan was designed to phase out in-use old motorcycles in partnership with the government agencies and private sector (manufacturers and local banks). The report presents a plan to assist the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA) to reduce emissions from two-stroke engine motorcycles in Bangkok. The report describes the two motorcycle clinics that were organized in Bangkok in May and July 2000 to improve the knowledge base, to promote awareness, to encourage interagency coordination and public-private partnerships, and to pilot the approach in generating lessons for the proposed Bangkok Motorcycle Upgrade Project (MUP). During these clinics, significant lessons were learned and observed on the issues of public and private sector involvement, the effectiveness of publicity campaigns and advertisements, interview questionnaire preparation and design, and the relevance of reconditioning for emissions.

An analysis using a quantitative methodology to decompose responses to shocks shows that Gabons adjustment to adverse movements in the terms and trade from 1980 to 2000 was considerably weak in terms of three performance indicators import intensity, economic compression, and nonoil export promotion. While the economys growth rate was respectable, Gabonese policymakers postponed adjustment by resorting to considerable borrowing during this period. While there was some decrease in import intensity from 1987 to 1990 and 1996 to 2000, as well as slight nonoil export diversification from 1996 to 2000, the government borrowed from commercial banks and donors, causing its external debt/GDP ratio to increase from 30 percent of GDP in 1970-76 to 80 percent in 1999. To pay the debt service, it currently has to maintain large primary surpluses. Only since 1996 has there been significant fiscal retrenchment and a freezing of government wages"--Abstract.

"This is one of 10 studies for the Copenhagen Consensus Project that sought to evaluate the most feasible opportunities to improve welfare globally and alleviate poverty in developing countries. Anderson argues that phasing out distortionary government subsidies and barriers to international trade will yield an extraordinarily high benefit-cost ratio. A survey is provided of recent estimates using global economywide simulation models of the benefits of doing that by way of the current Doha round of multilateral trade negotiations. Even if adjustment costs are several times as large as suggested by available estimates, the benefit-cost ratio from seizing this opportunity exceeds 20. That is much higher than the rewards from regional or bilateral trade agreements or from providing preferential access for least-developed countries' exports to high-income countries. Such reform would simultaneously contribute to alleviating several of the other key challenges reflected in the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals"--Abstract.
