International Monetary Fund. External Relations Dept.
Anoop Singh, a national of India, took charge of the IMF’s Western Hemisphere Department in September 2002. Before that, he was Director for Special Operations—a unit formed in 2002 to bring together the IMF’s expertise in resolving financial crises. In both positions, he has drawn on his over 25 years of experience at the IMF—as Deputy Director of the departments covering the Asia-Pacific region in the mid- to late 1990s, including during the Asian financial crisis and its aftermath. In the early 1980s, he served as Special Advisor to the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India. Laura Wallace spoke with Singh about the challenges the department faces, especially in the IMF’s efforts to end the financial crises in Latin America and rebuild growth.
Mr. Robert P Flood
This paper explores sources of the output collapse in Russia during transition. A modified growth-accounting framework is developed that takes into account changes in factor utilization that are typical of the transition process. The results indicate that declines in factor inputs and productivity were both important determinants of the output fall. The paper analyzes the behavior of real commodity prices over the 1862–1999 progress. It also examines whether average stocks of health and education are converging across countries, and calculates the speed of their convergence using data from 84 countries for 1970–90.
