Estimating the Job Creation Impact of Development Assistance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789292699697)

This publication shares findings on how to better estimate the impact of development assistance on job creation.

It shares findings from a study that used inputoutput and computable general equilibrium models to customize estimation methods to improve jobs impact assessments. The study used 20102019 data on Asian Development Bank operations in Fiji, Indonesia, and Thailand. Its findings suggest that simpler inputoutput models may best suit projects that support substantial local purchases of non-construction capital goods and services. More comprehensive and data-intensive computable general equilibrium models can help capture the broad impact of programmatic policy support and large-scale projects.
