Removing policy based comparative advantage for energy intensive production Necessary adjustments of the real exchange rate and industry structure Abstract: National and international expansion of transmission networks and diminishing returns to scale in hydropower capacity expansion has raised the opportunity cost of electricity. The resulting changes in comparative advantage between industries have in many countries been counteracted by government assistance to energy intensive industries. A good example is the implicit electricity price subsidies offered to energy intensive manufacturing in Norway through the state owned power company Statkraft. We use firm data to assess the share of firms that will survive in the long run when these subsidies are removed, highlighting that large cost heterogeneity within the industries may imply diminishing returns to scale at the industry level. This feature is incorporated in a multisectoral CGE model, which is used to estimate the equilibrium adjustments of the industry structure and relative prices of removing the subsidies. Such a policy will lead to a less specialised industry structure and reduces gross trade. The positive public budget effect allows the government to cut other taxes, which fuels the real exchange rate depreciation necessary to meet the national budget constraint.

South–south labour migration and sustainable development: Implications for Southeast Asian countries

Even though the majority of labour migration appears to be inter-regional and takes place between developed and developing countries (north-south migration), labour migration today is, however, becoming more intra-regional, and occurs more among developing countries (south-south migration). The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) presents a perfect case study to help explain the increasing trend of south-south labour migration. This article aims to explain the relationship between south-south labour migrants in ASEAN and the links to the United Nations's Sustainable Development Goals. Results show that migration can have a big impact, both positively and negatively, on each sustainable development goal in the region.As a result, certain policy recommendations for labour migration management for both migrant-sending countries and migrant-receiving countries are needed to ensure that the region can achieve its sustainable development goals from this dynamic intra-regional movement of labour.
