OECD's mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. The OECD brings governments together to share experiences and seek solutions to common problems. We don't just work with governments, but also with business, labour, academia, and other civil society organisations to understand what drives economic, social and environmental change. We analyse and compare data to predict future trends. We set international standards on numerous issues, from the safety of chemicals to the quality of fruits and vegetables. We look, too, at issues that directly affect the lives of ordinary people, like how much they pay in taxes and social security. We compare how different countries' school systems are readying their young people for modern life, and how different countries' pension systems will look after their citizens in old age. This information is published in books, journals and data services. All of them are available via our global knowledge base, the OECD iLibrary (www.oecd-ilibrary.org). The OECD is one of the most innovative publishers in its field and one of the most prolific and reliable sources of comparable economic and social data. OECD core values � � � � � 2 Objective: Our analyses and recommendations are independent and evidence-based. Open: We encourage debate and a shared understanding of critical global issues. Bold: We dare to challenge conventional wisdom starting with our own. Pioneering: We identify and address emerging and long-term challenges. Ethical: Our credibility is built on trust, integrity and transparency.

The 50th Anniversary of the OECD is an opportunity to reaffirm what we stand for and what we are about. Since 1961, the OECD has been a policy advisor and pathfinder on important issues for our member countries. Evidence-based policy guidance such as our Jobs Strategy, our Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) held in more than 70 countries, and our economic country studies have helped policy makers and stakeholders to pursue their reform agenda. Our pioneering work on climate change and the use of economic instruments to reach environmental goals provide useful tools to bring "green" and "growth" together. Over the past five decades the OECD has also become a global standard setter. Our Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, our Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes, our Anti-Bribery Convention, and our monitoring of aid flows are just a few examples of the ways in which we help to develop high international rules of the game in the interests of a stronger, cleaner and fairer world economy. 4 The OECD has proven that it is a relevant arena to discuss global challenges and to find common solutions. Today, as the global economic landscape changes and we build the new institutional architecture of global governance, the OECD will become even more important: through our contributions to the G20 in the fields of strong, sustainable and balanced growth, employment and skills, trade and investment, price volatility, food security, innovation, anti-corruption and development. But also through a more open, inclusive OECD, bringing on new members and defining a new partnership with emerging economies and working increasingly with and for developing countries. The OECD will continue to ensure that the well-being of citizens remains at the centre of our concerns. After 50 years, our objective is and remains to help member and partner country governments to formulate and implement better policies for better lives.

At its 50th Anniversary, the OECD launched the Better Life Initiative, a web portal enabling users to visualise progress graphically. By asking the question "How's life?" across 11 fundamental determinants of well-being, the OECD incorporates the quality of citizens' lives into a common understanding of progress. Each user can create their own Better Life Index, comparing well-being in their country to that of others, and their country's overall performance with their personal priorities. By using this instrument, they also discover how each of the 11 factors affects quality of life overall, and learn about the best policy practices in these areas.

That target may be met but many other MDGs will likely be missed, thus leaving the world with a development challenge beyond that which it had hoped to face. This book examines the scale of that challenge, and the role of development aid in helping to meet it. It shows that while development aid can help combat poverty and build foundations for economic growth, it is no magic bullet. For one thing, it is just one small part of the financial flows to developing countries. For another, the contexts of aid � for example, donors' intentions and recipients' quality of governance � help determine whether or not it works. This book also looks at the evolution of the aid-effectiveness debate and the potential impact of South-South co-operation on the development agenda.

Going for Growth 2011 highlights the structural reforms needed to restore long-term growth in the wake of the crisis. For each OECD country and, for the first time, six key emerging economies (Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russia and South Africa), five reform priorities are identified that would be most effective in delivering sustained growth over the next decade. The analysis shows that many of these reforms could also assist much-needed fiscal consolidation and contribute to reducing global current account imbalances. The internationally comparable indicators provided here enable countries to assess their economic performance and structural policies in a wide range of areas. In addition, this issue contains three analytical chapters covering housing policies, the efficiency of health care systems and the links between structural policies and current account imbalances. The Causes of Growing Inequalities in OECD Countries December 2011, 400 pages ISBN 978-92-64-11163-9 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264111639 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264119536-en 75 $105 �67 �9 700 ECOnOMICS In the three decades leading to the recent economic downturn, wage gaps have widened and household income inequality has increased in a large majority of OECD countries. This occurred even when countries were going through a period of sustained economic and employment growth. This report analyses the major underlying forces behind these developments. It examines the extent to which economic globalisation, skill-based technological progress, and institutional and regulatory reforms have had an impact on the distribution of earnings. The report further provides evidence of how changes in family formation and household structures have altered household earnings and income inequality. And it documents how tax and benefit systems have changed in the ways they redistribute household incomes. The report discusses which policies are most promising to counter increases in inequalities and how the policy mix can be adjusted when public budgets are under strain.

This edition covers the outlook for commodity markets during the 2011 to 2020 period, and brings together the commodity, policy and country expertise of both organisations. The report analyses world market trends for the main agricultural products, as well as for biofuels. It provides an assessment of agricultural market prospects for production, consumption, trade, stocks, and prices of the commodities analysed. 20 Agricultural Policy: Monitoring and Evaluation 2011 OECD Countries and Emerging Economies September 2011, 300 pages ISBN 978-92-64-106178 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264106178 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/agr_pol-2011-en 65 $91 �58 �8 400 AGrICULTUrE 21 This report covers for the first time both the OECD member countries (including the new members who joined during 2010 � Chile, Estonia, Israel and Slovenia) and selected key emerging economies: Brazil, China, Russia, South Africa and Ukraine. It is a unique source of up-to-date estimates of support to agriculture. Increasingly, overall support to farmers is being driven by changes on world markets. After an increase in 2009, producer support in the OECD area declined to the lowest level since the mid-1980s and confirms the downward trend in support to farmers in the OECD area. The trend in emerging economies shows some increase in the level of support, although it stays well below the OECD average. This report shows that the decline has largely been due to a narrowing of the gap between domestic and world agricultural commodity prices, which were buoyant in 2010. Progress has been made in decoupling support from production, but productionlinked support is still significant. There are wide variations in the levels and composition of support across OECD countries, while the variations among emerging economies are less pronounced. OECD Green Growth Studies: Food and Agriculture Food and Agriculture November 2011, 80 pages ISBN 978-92-64-11123-3 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264111233 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264107250-en 24 $33 �21 �3 100 AGrICULTUrE 22 As part of the OECD Green Growth Strategy, this new series aims to provide in-depth reviews of the green growth issues faced by different sectors. The agriculture and fisheries sectors have an important role to play in contributing to greener growth, in particular through facilitating the uptake of green technologies and management practices and reducing waste in the food chain. This will involve a range of policies, including: the reform of environmentally harmful subsidies that distort efficient resource use; freer international trade; shifting towards targeted policies that will support poor and vulnerable farmers; rewarding the provision of eco-system services; and encouraging R&D, technologies and management practices that improve the productivity of resource use. Framing appropriate "greening" policies is also a major governance issue which requires examining the incentives and disincentives generated by policies, as well as the regulatory and institutional framework more broadly. Agriculture and Food Feeding nine Billion People October 2011, 122 pages ISBN 978-92-64-08083-6 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264080836 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264081079-en 15 $19 �10 �2 000 AGrICULTUrE 23 Global food production has outpaced population growth for the last 50 years, and will have to double by 2050 to feed the projected population of 9 billion people. Experience suggests it can be done, but the agriculture and food sector is facing a number of challenges. Economic growth is being accompanied by a shift to resource-intensive Western-style diets worldwide. Farming has to cope with environmental pressures and competition for land from other uses. Climate change introduces new uncertainties. Agriculture and Food examines the state of world agriculture today and discusses the major forces shaping its future, including trade, the environment, government policy, and farming practices themselves. It looks at how social change and economic conditions influence how food is produced, what we eat and where we buy it. It also examines the question of food security, and the links between poverty and hunger. Fisheries and Aquaculture Certification October 2011, 96 pages ISBN 978-92-64-11961-1 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264119611 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264119680-en 24 $33 �21 �3 100 AGrICULTUrE 24 Concerns about sustainability and the effectiveness of fisheries management have resulted in demand from the public for assurances that the food they purchase has been sustainably produced. This has led to a number of private entities establishing eco-labels and certification schemes that claim to provide credible information to the consumer. These labels intend to serve the interest of fishers and processors who need to transmit positive information to the consumer to maintain their markets, and serve consumers by providing information not elsewhere available. This report considers the growing trend in information requirements for seafood products in general, and in particular the distinct sustainability features of wild capture fisheries and aquaculture. The report focuses on private eco-labeling and analyses the economics of certification schemes, discusses key issues at the interface between public authorities, private labeling schemes, business operators and consumers. Finally, main findings and messages to policy makers are addressed. Development Co-operation Report 2011 September 2011, 200 pages ISBN 978-92-64-09437-6 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264094376 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/dcr-2011-en 98 $137 �88 �12 700 DEVELOPMEnT 25 This 50th Anniversary edition of the OECD Development Co-operation Report not only includes the latest available statistical information on aid policies and flows of donor countries, but also a series of contributions from experts in the field. These contributions provide a unique perspective on the work of OECD over the past 50 years on development. Perspectives on Global Development 2012 Social Cohesion in a Shifting World November 2011, 200 pages ISBN 978-92-64-11314-5 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264113145 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264113152-en DEVELOPMEnT 60 $84 �54 �7 800 "Shifting wealth" � a process that started in the 1990s and took off in the 2000s � has led to a completely new geography of growth driven by the economic rise of large developing countries, in particular China and India. Recent events in well-performing countries in the Arab world and beyond seem to suggest that economic growth, rising fiscal resources and improvements in education are not sufficient to create cohesion. This report analyses the impact of "shifting wealth" on social cohesion, largely focusing on high-growth converging countries. The question this report asks is how does the structural transformation in converging economies affect their "social fabric", their sense of belonging, or put generally, their ability to peacefully manage collective problems? 26 African Economic Outlook 2011 Africa's Emerging Partners June 2011, 304 pages ISBN 978-92-64-11175-2 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264111752 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/aeo-2011-en 55 $77 �49 �7 100 DEVELOPMEnT 27 Since 2002, the annual African Economic Outlook has been charting the progress of the continent's economies. This year's Outlook reviews recent economic, social and political developments and the short-term likely evolution of almost all the African countries. The African Economic Outlook is drawn from a country-by-country analysis based on a unique common framework. This includes a forecasting exercise using a simple macroeconomic model, together with an analysis of the social and political context. Its overview chapter provides a comparative synthesis of African country prospects which places the evolution of African economies in the world economic context. A statistical appendix completes the volume. This year's edition focuses on Africa's emerging economic partnerships with countries such as China and India. Latin American Economic Outlook 2012 Transformation of the State for Development November 2011, 120 pages ISBN 978-92-64-12170-6 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264121706 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/leo-2011-en DEVELOPMEnT 60 $84 �54 �7 800 Even in the midst of a global financial crisis, Latin American and Caribbean economies find themselves in better condition than in years past. Latin America must seize this opportunity to design and implement good public policies. The greatest of the longterm objectives of Latin American states remains development: economic growth and structural change that is rapid, sustainable and inclusive. In particular, governments must reduce inequalities in income, public-service delivery and opportunities, as well as promote the diversification of economies, often concentrated on a few primary-product exports. Improved efficiency of public administration is crucial to address both the short-term and long-term dimensions of these challenges. The real change, however, will come if Latin American and Caribbean states carry out meaningful fiscal reforms, making them not only more efficient but also more effective. The increased effectiveness of fiscal policy holds the promise to provide resources needed to address the key challenges of economic development. Three key priority areas for investing additional resources have been highlighted by many governments in the region for their potential to raise competitiveness and social inclusion: education, infrastructure and innovation. In each of these areas, more efficient administration and more effective strategic action is needed from states. 28 Education at a Glance 2011: Highlights September 2011, 96 pages ISBN 978-92-64-11421-0 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264114203 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/eag-2011-en 28 $39 �25 �3 600 This companion publication to the OECD's flagship compendium of education statistics, Education at a Glance provides easily accessible data on key topics in education today, including: educational achievement and student numbers, benefits of education, spending on education, and class size.

This has led to an expansion of the description of text types to take account of the electronic environment, as well as a redefinition of the aspects of reading, to embrace, for example, the requirement for integration of information from multiple unrelated texts, as well as other features described above. The PISA 2009 reading framework and the assessment instrument together provide an operational definition and description of the distinctive structures and types of both text and task that constitute electronic reading, allowing an exploration of factors that contribute to difficulty. PISA 2009 provides an opportunity to investigate electronic reading on a large scale.

It is often claimed that these learners are "new millennium learners", or "digital natives", who have different expectations about education. This book contributes to the debate about the effects of technology attachment and connectedness on today's learners, and their expectations about teaching. The book sets out to answer the following questions: Can the claim that today's students are "new millennium learners", or "digital natives", be sustained empirically? Is there consistent research evidence demonstrating the effects of technology on cognitive development, social values and learning expectations? What are the implications for educational policy and practice?

This book examines the links between globalisation and the way we teach and learn languages. It begins by asking why some individuals are more successful than others at learning non-native languages, and why some education systems, or countries, are more successful than others at teaching languages. The book comprises chapters by different authors on the subject of language learning. These authors bring a wide range of perspectives and research experience to this subject. There are chapters on the role of motivation in non-native language learning; the way that languages, cultures and identities are connected; and the insights that neuroscience provides into how the brain understands and produces language. The book also explores issues affecting migrants, their education and opportunities to learn languages; and non-native language learning and teaching in North America, Europe, Asia, South America and North Africa. The final chapters present new approaches to the subject of language learning, such as the role of music as a tool for non-native language learning; and new frameworks for thinking about language education.

A growing body of recent research argues that such benefits are conditional to "quality" of ECEC but there has been lack of consensus what constitutes "quality". Starting Strong III is a quick guide for busy policymakers on what they can do to improve quality in ECEC by presenting the information as practical tools which policymakers can use. It includes checklists, self-assessment sheets, research briefs, and a list of country examples as a quick reference. It will be also made available as "Online ECEC Quality Policy Toolbox".

The 2011 issue highlights policy issues related to: the recent economic crisis and the adequacy of income support for the unemployed; social protection and labour markets in emerging economies; earnings volatility; and qualifications mismatch. In the wake of the global economic crisis, the question of how unemployment benefits and other income support schemes can best cushion income losses during a deep recession is examined. More generally, the risk of large declines in earnings during recessions is analysed and structural labour market reforms are identified which can reduce earnings volatility over the business cycle. The recent global crisis has also highlighted the importance of social protection schemes in emerging economies, and the Outlook shows how they can be cost effective when they are adapted to national labour market conditions such as a high incidence of informal employment.

Today, they are even more pressing challenges as the global economy emerges from the worst crisis of the past 50 years. Indeed, young people have borne much of the brunt of the recent jobs crisis. This report makes an important contribution to a new agenda of youth-friendly employment policies and practices. It analyses the situation of youth employment and unemployment in the context of the jobs crisis and identifies successful policy measures in OECD countries. But it also discusses structural reforms in education and in the labour market that can facilitate the transition from school to work. The report draws on both recent data and the main lessons that emerged from the 16 country reviews conducted as part of the OECD Jobs for Youth programme. Job Tasks, Work Skills and the Labour Market December 2011, 212 pages ISBN 978-92-64-09577-9 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264095779 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264095816-en 60 $84 �54 �7 800 EMPLOYMEnT 43 The importance of skills for driving economic success, both at the level of the individual and for the economy as a whole, is widely recognised. However, much previous research has relied on a limited number of indicators of skills. From information on job tasks collected through the "Job Requirements Approach" (JRA), measures of skill use at work can be inferred that go well beyond the traditional proxy measures based on educational attainment or occupation. While an increasing number of articles using this approach have been published in academic journals over recent years, there is as yet no dedicated volume providing an international perspective. This publication of papers from the 2009 OECD/Cedefop International JRA Workshop in Thessaloniki showcases some of the key findings of national and international surveys using the JRA methodology. This collection covers a range of issues, including: the JRA methodology; skill mismatch; returns to skills; trends over time in skill use; linked employer-employee data on skill use; and, for the first time, a wide-ranging international comparison of work skills based on a pilot study. Countries covered include Australia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Mental illness is responsible for a very significant loss of potential labour supply, high rates of unemployment, and a high incidence of sickness absence and reduced productivity at work. In particular, mental illness causes too many young people to leave the labour market, or never really enter it, through early moves onto disability benefit. Today, between one-third and one-half of all new disability benefit claims are for reasons of mental ill-health, and among young adults that proportion goes up to over 70%. This report provides a state-of-the-art review of the main employment challenges relating to mental health that societies and policy-makers are facing, based on a series of new comparative indicators, and discusses what countries are currently doing to address the issues. It consists of four substantive chapters looking at youth and education issues; workplace issues; benefit system issues; and health system issues. An introduction discusses the nature of mental illness and problems around defining them.

Because its generation remains largely based on fossil fuels, electricity is also the largest and the fastest-growing source of energy-related CO2 emissions, the primary cause of human-induced climate change. Forecasts from the IEA and others show that "decarbonising" electricity and enhancing end-use efficiency can make major contributions to the fight against climate change. The IEA Climate and Electricity Annual 2011 provides an authoritative resource on progress to date in this area, with statistics related to CO2 and the electricity sector across ten regions of the world. It also presents topical analyses on meeting the challenge of rapidly curbing CO2 emissions from electricity, from both a policy and technology perspective.

The Strategy proposes a flexible policy framework that can be tailored to different country circumstances and stages of development. This synthesis report contains key policy insights and practical recommendations to help governments design and implement policies that can shift their economies onto greener growth paths. It is complemented by the report Towards Green Growth: Monitoring Progress � OECD Indicators. 47 Towards Green Growth: Monitoring Progress OECD Indicators May 2011, 144 pages ISBN 978-92-64-11134-9 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264111349 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264111356-en 28 $39 �25 �3 600 EnVIrOnMEnT 48 Moving towards greener growth requires integrated economic and environmental policies and a matching framework.

Greening Household Behaviour The role of Public Policy March 2011, 192 pages ISBN 978-92-64-06362-4 http://www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264063624 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264096875-en 30 $42 �27 �3 900 EnVIrOnMEnT 49 Household consumption patterns and behaviour have an impact on stocks of natural resources, environmental quality and climate change. This is expected to increase significantly in the future. In response, governments have introduced a variety of measures to encourage people to take into consideration the environmental impact of their purchases and practices. These may include environmentally related taxes, energy performance standards for homes, carbon dioxide emission labels for cars, and financial support to purchase solar panels, among others. Nevertheless, understanding and influencing household behaviour remains a challenge for policy makers. This publication presents the main results and policy implications of an OECD survey of more than 10 000 households in 10 countries: Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic, France, Italy, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. It offers new insight into what policy measures really work, looking at what factors affect people's behaviour towards the environment in five areas: water use, energy use, personal transport choices, organic food consumption, and waste generation and recycling.

It is a major driver for green growth and contributes to the environmental performance and economic development of OECD and developing countries alike. This report takes a pragmatic approach to policies that support the development and diffusion of eco-innovation. Building on the OECD Innovation Strategy, it argues that eco-innovation is not merely about technological developments: non-technical innovations matter as well. It acknowledges that policies do not operate in a vacuum and that they must take account of the contexts that influence the development and diffusion of eco-innovation, such as market structures. It explores links between ecoinnovation policies and related fields such as industry, competition, and international co-operation. 50 OECD Environmental Outlook to 2050 March 2012, 240 pages ISBN 978-92-64-12216-1 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264122161 80 $112 �72 �10 400 EnVIrOnMEnT 51 Humanity has witnessed unprecedented growth and prosperity in the last four decades, with the size of the world economy more than tripling and population increasing by over 3 billion people since 1970. This growth, however, has been accompanied by environmental pollution and natural resource depletion. The current growth model and the mismanagement of natural assets could ultimately undermine human development. The OECD Environmental Outlook to 2050 asks "What will the next four decades bring?" Based on joint modelling by the OECD and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, it looks forward to the year 2050 to find out what demographic and economic trends might mean for the environment if the world does not adopt more ambitious green policies. It also looks at what policies could change that picture for the better. This Outlook focuses on four areas: climate change, biodiversity, freshwater and health impacts of pollution. These four key environmental challenges were identified by the previous Environmental Outlook to 2030 (OECD, 2008) as "Red Light" issues requiring urgent attention. Counting Carbon in the Marketplace: The Rise of Product Carbon Footprints November 2011, 130 pages ISBN 978-92-64-11654-2 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264116942 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264116559-en 39 $54 �35 �5 000 EnVIrOnMEnT 52 This report discusses the rationale, context, coverage and characteristics of emerging standards and schemes that estimate and designate "product carbon footprints" (PCFs) for internationally traded products. PCFs are estimates of the total amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced over the "life cycle" -- i.e. production, processing, transportation, sale, use and disposal -- of goods and services. PCFs are thus distinct from GHG assessments performed for projects, corporations, or supply chains. Product carbon footprinting is currently dominated by private standards and certification schemes operated by small consultancy companies and in a few cases by large retailers and manufacturers. This study compares and contrasts 18 such schemes, all of which have been established since 2006, and which differ in scale and product coverage, type of claim made and certification offered, GHG assessment methods, and levels and means of verification and transparency.

This Annual Report provides an account of the actions taken by the 42 adhering governments over the 12 months to June 2011 to enhance the contribution of the Guidelines to the improved functioning of the global economy. This edition focuses on a new agenda created by the revision of the Guidelines that took place in 2011. 56 Government at a Glance 2011 June 2011, 268 pages ISBN 978-92-64-09657-8 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264096578 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/gov_glance-2011-en 35 $49 �31 �4 500 GOVErnAnCE 57 This second edition of Government at a Glance almost doubles the number of available indicators of OECD governments' performance to over 50. The indicators compare the political and institutional frameworks of government across OECD countries as well as government revenues and expenditures, employment, and compensation. They also include indicators describing government policies and practices on integrity, e-government and open government, and introduce several composite indexes summarising key aspects of public management practices in human resources management, budgeting, procurement, and regulatory management.

Often events begin as small local events, but their impacts may rapidly propagate across national frontiers and turn into major international crises. Building on analyses of episodes such as the avian and swine flu outbreaks, the recent financial market meltdown, and cyber attacks on government and industrial IT networks, the report explores the driving forces behind potential global shocks of the future. It examines the strengths and weaknesses of current approaches to the management of global shocks, and sets out proposals that aim to improve the resilience of economic and social systems to such damaging disruptions.

The effectiveness of recovery strategies based on public investment thus depends largely on the arrangements between levels of government to design and implement the investment mix. This report provides an overview of challenges met in the recovery and highlights good practices and lessons learned, focusing on eight country cases: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Korea, Spain, Sweden and the United States. As stimulus packages are being phased out since 2010, many countries have moved toward fiscal consolidation and targeted public investment as an adjustment variable. Co-ordination between levels of government was essential to implement recovery measures, and it is equally important to better prioritise reduced public investment and make the most of it for sustainable growth.

Based on a methodological framework, it assesses the main "coordination gaps" in terms of policymaking, financing, information, accountability, objectives and capacity building, and provides a platform of existing governance mechanisms to bridge them. Based on an extensive survey on water governance the report provides a comprehensive institutional mapping of roles and responsibilities in water policy-making at national/subnational level in 17 OECD countries. It concludes on preliminary multilevel governance guidelines for integrated water policy.

Different geographical regions have different priorities, but common drivers are climate change mitigation and the desire for energy independence. Now, industrial biotechnology has reached the centre of scientific and political attention. At no time in the past has there been a more pressing need for coherent, evidence-based, proportionate regulations and policy measures; they are at the heart of responsible development of industrial biotechnology. This publication examines the international drivers, the enabling technologies that are fast-tracking industrial biotechnology, industry trends, some of the products that are appearing on the market, industry structure and finance, and finally policy measures and trends. It examines separately biofuels, biobased chemicals and bioplastics. It is quite clear that a supportive policy framework for the development of biofuels exists in many countries, but that no such framework is in place for biobased chemicals and bioplastics. This seems at odds with the apparent need for the integrated biorefinery, where chemicals and plastics production will significantly improve profitability when produced alongside transportation fuels 63 Nuclear Energy Data 2011 September 2011, 140 pages ISBN 978-92-64-12187-4 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264121874 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/ned-2011-en-fr nUCLEAr EnErGY 40 $56 �36 �5 200 This 2011 edition of Nuclear Energy Data, the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency's annual compilation of official statistics and country reports on nuclear energy, provides key information on plans for new nuclear plant construction, nuclear fuel cycle developments as well as current and projected nuclear generating capacity to 2035 in OECD member countries.

It uses daily price data for electricity, gas, coal and carbon from 2005 to 2010, which encompasses the first years of the European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), the world's foremost carbon trading framework. The study shows that even with modest carbon pricing, competition for new investment in electricity markets will take place between nuclear energy and gas-fired power generation, with coal-fired power struggling to be profitable. The outcome of the competition between nuclear and gas-fired generation hinges, in addition to carbon pricing, on the capital costs for new nuclear power plant construction, gas prices and the profit margins applied. Strong competition in electricity markets reinforces the attractiveness of nuclear energy, as does carbon pricing, in particular when the latter ranges between USD 40 and USD 70 per tonne of CO2. The data and analysis contained in this study provide a robust framework for assessing cost and investment issues in liberalised electricity markets with carbon pricing.

This study, which examines a selection of OECD member countries, qualitatively and quantitatively validates the often intuitive assumption that, as a largely domestic source of electricity with stable costs and no greenhouse gas emissions during production, nuclear energy can make a positive contribution. Following an analysis of the meaning and context of security of supply, the study uses transparent and policy-relevant indicators to show that, together with improvements in energy efficiency, nuclear energy has indeed contributed significantly to enhanced energy supply security in OECD countries over the past 40 years.

Its five chapters position countries around their efforts to invest in future growth, the extent to which they benefit from global and local knowledge transfers, build scientific and technological strengths, foster innovation and entrepreneurship and build on science, technology and innovation to compete in the global economy. The OECD STI Scoreboard 2011 illustrates and analyses a wide set of indicators of science, technology, globalisation and industrial performance in OECD and major nonOECD countries (notably Brazil, Russian Federation, India, Indonesia, China and South Africa). It also includes some experimental indicators that provide insight into new areas of policy interest and presents broader measures of innovation, for example using new indicators of investment in intangible assets and trademarks.

The 2011 edition analyses the effects of the global financial crisis on revenues, subscriptions and international trade, as well as on emerging trends such as the rapid development of the applications market for a growing range of access devices. It provides an extensive range of indicators for the development of different communications networks and compares performance indicators such as revenue, investment and prices for service throughout the OECD area. These indicators are essential for industry and for regulators who use benchmarking to evaluate policy performance. This book is based on the data from the OECD Telecommunications Database 2011, which provides time series of telecommunications and economic indicators, such as broadband networks, revenues, and investment for OECD countries from 1980 to 2009. 68 OECD Green Growth Studies Fostering Innovation for Green Growth SCIEnCE AnD TEChnOLOGY September 2011, 126 pages ISBN 978-92-64-11991-8 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264119918 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264119925-en 30 $42 �27 �3 900 Innovation will be an important driver of the transition towards green growth. Without innovation, it will be very difficult and very costly to achieve a transformation to a greener economy. By pushing the frontier outward, innovation can help to decouple growth from natural capital depletion. Innovation and the related process of creative destruction will also lead to new ideas, new entrepreneurs and new business models, thus contributing to the establishment of new markets and eventually to the creation of new jobs. Innovation is therefore the key in enabling green and growth to go hand in hand. This report draws on work on green innovation across several parts of the OECD. 69 Doing Better for Families SOCIAL ISSUES � MIGrATIOn � hEALTh April 2011, 276 pages ISBN 978-92-64-09872-5 www.oecd.org/bookshop?9789264098725 http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264098732-en 40 $56 �36 �5 200 All OECD governments want to give parents more choice in their work and family decisions.

Many countries have increased pension ages in the face of population ageing and longer lives. An in-depth look at these important policy issues is provided by five special chapters on: pension ages, retirement behaviour, pension incentives to retire, the demand for older workers and linking pensions to life expectancy. This edition updates information on the key features of pension provision in OECD countries and provides projections of retirement income for today's workers. It offers an expanded range of 34 indicators, covering the design of national retirement-income provision, pension entitlements, incomes of older people, the finances of pension systems, the demographic and economic context in which pension systems operate and private pensions. More countries are analysed than in previous editions, including four new members of the OECD: Chile, Estonia, Israel and Slovenia. Where possible, data are also provided for the other major economies in the G20: Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russia, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. Along with data on the European Union's 27 member states, this brings to 43 the number of economies covered in the report.

In a global economy where multinational enterprises (MNEs) play a prominent role, governments need to ensure that the taxable profits of MNEs are not artificially shifted out of their jurisdictions and that the tax base reported by MNEs in their respective countries reflect the economic activity undertaken therein. For taxpayers, it is essential to limit the risks of economic double taxation that may result from a dispute between two countries on the determination of an arm's length remuneration for their cross-border transactions with associated enterprises. In the 2010 edition, Chapters I-III were substantially revised, with new guidance on: the selection of the most appropriate transfer pricing method to the circumstances of the case; the practical application of transactional profit methods (transactional net margin method and profit split method); and on the performance of comparability analyses. Furthermore, a new Chapter IX, on the transfer pricing aspects of business restructurings, was added.

Chapter One provides a broad overview of the effects of taxation on employment, examining how taxes on labour income can affect both the size of the labour force and the level of unemployment, and highlighting key areas of concern for tax policy makers. This analysis is then augmented in chapters 2-4 by the more detailed analysis of the effects of taxation on the employment of three groups where empirical research suggests that responses of labour supply to taxation may be relatively large: low-income workers, mobile highly-skilled workers, and older workers. As well as highlighting key areas of concern for tax policy makers, the report places a particular focus on the different measures that have been adopted by countries to attempt to overcome these problems, discussing, where possible, the main design features, and the advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches that have been adopted.

This report describes the size of loss carry-forwards, the rules applicable in relation to losses, and identifies the following risk areas: corporate reorganisations, financial instruments and non-arm's length transfer pricing. After having summarised aggressive tax planning schemes on losses, as well as country detection and response strategies, it offers a number of conclusions and recommendations for tax administration and tax policy officials.

These players examine the sources of the flexibility that has made the OECD export credit regime so successful in adapting to the changing, globalising world economy. Some of the contributions offer remarkably candid insights into the often closed world of international negotiations; others document the response of the international rules for export credits - which are negotiated in the OECD - to the growing sophistication of financial and insurance services. All of them shed light on this increasingly important aspect of international trade.

The Aid-for-Trade Initiative has successfully built awareness of the support these countries need to surmount these barriers. As a result, more and more developing countries are raising the profile of trade issues in their development strategies and donors are responding by increasing the resources they provide to build trade capacity in areas such as policy, institutions and infrastructure. This aid-for-trade monitoring report � the third of its kind � documents the success of the initiative to date. It examines trends and developments and presents a comprehensive analysis of donor and partner country engagement. In addition, it addresses the regional dimension of aid for trade and showcases three cross-border infrastructure projects. Finally, the report provides fact sheets that help in assessing the outcomes and impacts of aid for trade.

The report uses projections and scenarios to assess the broader economic outlook and future infrastructure requirements, and examines the options for financing these, not least against the backdrop of the economic recession and financial crisis which have significantly modified the risks and potential rewards associated with major infrastructure projects. Building on numerous in-depth case studies from Europe, North America and Asia, the report offers insights into the economic prospects for these key facilities and identifies policy options for improved gateway and corridor infrastructure in the future.

The first two chapters present fresh analysis of regional growth and labour-market trends, exploring their implications for policy. This is followed by three chapters offering focused analyses of key policy issues. The first, and most immediate, concerns the state of sub-national government finances in the wake of the crisis and its implications for managing public investment, in particular, during a period of austerity. The next two chapters are concerned with the potential contribution of regions and regional policies to addressing the longer-term challenges of innovation and green growth. Part 3 of the Outlook presents a "policy forum", a wide-ranging debate on the role of regional policy today involving experts and officials from within and outside the OECD. Finally, the Outlook includes individual country pages providing detailed quantitative and qualitative information on regional performance, institutions and policy settings in OECD members 89 www.oecd-ilibrary.org OECD iLibrary is the global knowledge base for OECD's data and analysis.
