Evaluating the concessionality of the tied aid

Article Abstract:

Excess tied prices may reduce the concessionality of tied aid and mixed credits, but concessionality remains an important feature of tied aid. The total flow of overseas development assistance amounts to about $50 billion, about half of which is distributed through bilateral arrangements. The recipient nations prefer mixed credit more than the commercial borrowing at market rates. Bilateral aids are most lucrative due to their higher concessionality, as a large part is offered as grants. Export promotion remains the most viable source for foreign exchange in developing nations, although bilateral aids are hardly available for it.

When work becomes home and home becomes work

Article Abstract:

'The Time Bind: When Work Becomes Home and Home Becomes Work,' from which this article is excerpted, is based on the author's field work at "Amerco," the fictitious name for a Fortune 500 company headquartered in the midwestern town of "Spotted Deer." It describes how employees at all levels of the corporation have handled the conflicting demands of family life and the workplace. This article demonstrates that even though Amerco has "family-friendly" policies, relatively few employees take advantage of them. Many appear to want to spend more time not at home but at the office. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)
