Trade and investment in Latin America and Asia: Lessons from the past and potential perspectives from further integration by Berisha-Krasniqi, Valdete, Bouët, Antoine, Estrades, Carmen, Laborde Debucquet, David

“…The analysis introduces three key modeling innovations: (1) a new way of modeling foreign direct investment (FDI), (2) a new tariff aggregator, and (3) incorporation of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) in the model. These modeling improvements enable us to examine the potential impact of an FTA on FDI, a key aspect of economic relations between Asia and Latin America. …”

Assessment of long-term hydrogeological changes and plausible solutions to manage hydrological extremes in the transnational Ganga River Basin by Surinaidu, L., Amarasinghe, Upali, Maheswaran, R., Nandan, M.J.

“…This review indicated that transparent data sharing, use of satellite-based observations along with in-situ data, integrated hydro-economic modeling linked to reliable coupled surface–groundwater models, a central shared decision support center for early warning systems to deal with hydrological extremes, joint river commissions and monitoring teams, and multilateral water sharing treaties (agreements) are required to promote sustainable and equitable distribution of water resources and to avoid water sharing conflicts in the Ganga basin.…”

International waters: Identifying basins at risk by Wolf, Aaron T., Yoffe, Shira B., Giordano, Mark

“…The study is divided into three components:Compilation and assessment of relevant biophysical, socio-economic and geopolitical data in a global Geographic Information System (GIS), and use of these factors to determine history-based indicators for future tensions along international waterways.Using these indicators, identification of basins at risk for the coming decade.Identification and assessment of the potential for mitigating factors and new technologies resulting in a future different than that predicted by history-based indicators.In general, we find that most of the parameters regularly identified as indicators of water conflict are actually only weakly linked to disputes, but that institutional capacity within a basin, whether defined as water management bodies or treaties, or generally positive international relations are as important, if not more so, than the physical aspects of a system. …”
