DFI Database 2022 Q2 Update: Successfully Discern Dual-module Public Financial Institutions
2022-07-29
The second quarter of 2022 update of the Public Development Banks (PDBs) and Development Financing Institutions (DFIs) database successfully discerns the dual-module public financial institutions (DMPFIs) in distinction with PDBs and DFIs. This brings the total number of PDBs and DFIs to 522 institutions, among which national and subnational PDBs and DFIs come from 154 economies worldwide. The total assets of PDBs and DFIs in our database have reached USD 23.21 trillion.

The first quarter of 2022 update of the Public Development Banks (PDBs) and Development Financing Institutions (DFIs) database includes the basic profile of 26 newly identified PDBs and DFIs, as well as their total assets for the fiscal year 2019. This brings the total number of PDBs and DFIs from 527 to over 550 institutions worldwide. The number of countries and economies with currently active PDBs and DFIs increases from 150 to 160.

06/10:Sustainable and Just Energy Transitions in the Global South

Venue：Zoom

Speaker：Chuan Liao

Energy transitions are taking place at an unprecedented pace in the Global South, and facilitating sustainable and just transitions can lead to far more rapid advances in societal wellbeing that would otherwise be infeasible. As attention devoted to sustainable and just energy transition increases, more systematic knowledge about the drivers and impacts of sustainable energy transition is of utmost importance. This presentation examines the emerging discussions in the energy transition literature that highlight the importance of understanding and theorizing the diversity, determinants, impacts, and interactions of energy transitions. Through the energy justice framework, the presentation will address the distributional, recognitional, and procedural issues of energy transition, and investigate where does injustice occur, who is ignored, and whether is the transition process fair.

05/27:Risky Insurance: Life-cycle Insurance Portfolio Choice with Incomplete Markets

Venue：Zoom

Speaker：Christopher Tonetti

We use a new survey to document significant perceived nonpayment risk in annuity, life insurance, and long-term care insurance markets. That is, people perceive a substantial risk that insurance will not pay out when it should. In preliminary analysis, we find that nonpayment risk significantly predicts insurance product ownership, and that annuity and long-term care insurance ownership would be approximately twice as high if products were perceived as risk-free. To interpret our measures, we develop a new life-cycle model of the joint demand for these three products that allows for uninsurable nonpayment risk as well as incomplete markets along other dimensions. We find that these risks significantly decrease insurance demand, resulting in small observed welfare losses from suboptimal insurance portfolio holdings. However, the welfare costs of nonpayment risk and incomplete markets—whether real or perceived—are large relative to a complete market benchmark.

The COVID-19 pandemic has offered two key lessons for developing countries: They must build on their own endowments and tackle infrastructure bottlenecks in sustainable ways. What will it take to ensure that foreign investment – in particular, Chinese investment in Africa – supports these objectives?
