SUMMARY:Impacts on Developing Countries from Recent Efforts to Align Trade and Sustainability Policies by the EU and the OECD
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Marianne Kuttennen\, IEEP BrusselsShunta Yamaguchi\, OECD Paris 	About the Seminar:  Policies from developed countries aimed at promoting sustainability often carry consequences for developing countries\, and one of the major channels for that is international trade. In 2019 the European Union launched a “green new deal” policy package to align actions on trade\, climate and SDGs. Components of such package are likely to impact competitiveness\, such as provisions to stimulate circular economy practices within and across the block. 	Echoing developments at the EU level\, and answering to longstanding calls for policy coherence\, the OECD has been similarly active on work linking trade and environment\, with special emphases on regional trade agreements\, circular economy\, climate change and environmental indicators. Recent modelling work from the OECD has explored climate change impacts on trade\, and how trade flexibility could increase climate resilience. 	This lunch seminar will explore the impact that sustainability policies in EU and OECD countries have or may have on the developing world. 	Speakers will be at their personal capacity and not speaking officially on behalf of their institutions. 	This seminar is part of a series of pre-events leading to the first Circular Economy Symposium at Harvard on March 6th (www.circularatharvard.org).

SUMMARY:You Get What You Pay For: Sources and Consequences of the Public Sector Premium in Albania and Sri Lanka
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ljubica Nedelkoska\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Growth Lab 	About the Talk: We study the factors behind the public sector premium in Albania and Sri Lanka\, the group heterogeneity in the premium\, the sources of public sector wage compression\, and the impact of this compression on the way individuals self-select between the public and the private sector. Similar to other countries\, the public sectors in Albania and Sri Lanka pay higher wages than the private sector\, for all but the most valued employees. While half of the premium of Sri Lanka and two-thirds of it in Albania are explained by differences in the occupation-education-experience mix between the sectors\, and the level of private sector informality\, the unexplained part of the premium is significant enough to affect the preferences of working in the public sector for different groups. We show that the compressed distributions of public sector wages and benefits create incentives for positive sorting into the public sector among most employees\, and negative sorting among the most productive ones. Work co-authored with Ricardo Hausmann and Sehar Noor.
