Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This study analyzes the constraints facing the private sector in Bhutan by conducting a nation-wide questionnaire survey of 168 micro/cottage, small, and medium-sized enterprises. Regulatory constraints are found to be the topmost constraint followed by the lack of finance and poor infrastructure. The variance and severity level of constraints differ significantly between urban and rural districts with respect to size, sector and ownership. Categorization and segregation approach generated a distinct portrayal of constraints and idiosyncratic requirements of urban vis-à-vis rural firms, even within and among micro and small enterprises. Factor analysis and multiple regression analysis further corroborated these results. The findings suggest a strong need to promote the growth of Bhutanese private sector through multifaceted, demand-driven approach, but specifically targeted and guided by a geographic spread and severity level of constraints. The work should be of interest to government as well as development partners involved in promoting the private sector, particularly micro, small and medium enterprises, in developing countries.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Despite the fact that SAARC countries have been relentlessly striving to enhance economic cooperation and boost intra-regional trade through various trade agreements, analysts argue that this objective has remained elusive for a long time. This study, therefore, recounts the findings after testing the effects of bilateral trade agreements on trade flows of SAARC countries using gravity models. Also, with GTAP model, it shows the welfare implications resulting from preferential tariffs and free trade agreements among not only SAARC countries per se, but also by aggregating with other countries and regions, including China, Japan, South Korea, the United States and the EU. The lessons from this study is expected to provide insights on untapped trade potential and significant complementarities that exist within the SAARC region, which might explain why intra-SAARC trade is low, and how regional integration and economic cooperation among SAARC countries could be further deepened. The analysis should also stimulate policymakers to devise appropriate measures to promote intra- as well as inter-regional trade.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 308 pp. Englisch.
