Russia: progress in structural reform and framework conditions

02-Jan-2012

In the 16 years since the OECD began conducting Economic Surveys of the Russian Federation, a great many policy recommendations relating to structural reform and framework conditions have been made. This paper, expanding on Annex 1.A1 in the 2011 OECD Economic Survey of the Russian Federation, provides a summary tabulation of the state of implementation of a large number of these past Survey recommendations.

Informal workshop on public pensions sustainability

23-Dec-2011

The effective retirement age is a crucial determinant of the sustainability of pension systems. Disability pension is becoming a more important exit from the labour market as more general early retirement options are closed. This workshop deals with two major issues: 1) Introducing the economic dependency ratio as a pension system sustainability indicator; and 2) Understanding the way into disability: The case of Austria. Finally a social partner consensus is presented.

Employment protection legislation and plant-level productivity in India

19-Dec-2011

Using plant-level data from the Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) for the fiscal years from 1998-99 through 2007-08, this study provides plant-level cross-state/time-series evidence of the impact of employment protection legislation (EPL) on total factor productivity (TFP) and labour productivity in India.

Russia: modernisation and OECD accession are related

12-Dec-2011

In recent years Russian leaders have increasingly emphasised the importance of modernising the economy, stressing the need to reduce the dependence on oil revenues and diversify the economy. The process of accession to the OECD, which began in 2007, dovetails closely with this agenda. The accession process provides a useful opportunity to take stock of the extent to which policies and outcomes in Russia are converging on those of the OECD, identifying both progress and areas where the gaps are still large and thus where peer review and drawing on OECD experience may be particularly useful.
