Tables and Figures for: Is there a Caribbean sclerosis?: stagnating economic growth in the Caribbean

This dataset was created to support 2014 Is There a Caribbean Sclerosis? Stagnating Economic Growth in the Caribbean on the following topics: economic growth, small economies, caribbean, productivity, competitiveness, macroeconomic instability. This report addresses several critical questions regarding Caribbean nations. Does size matter for economic growth and volatility? To what degree has Caribbean economic growth been inferior to that of ROSE? What could account for the Caribbean growth gap and what economic policies might decision-makers adopt to promote higher and sustainable growth?. The central focus is on six countries in the region, which will be referred to as the C6: The Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago. However, the analysis will sometimes include, most often in the aggregate, the countries of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). The six members of the OECS used in this report are Antigua and Barbuda, the Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The report was prepared by members of the Caribbean Economics Team (CET) of the Country Department Caribbean (CCB) of the Inter-American Development Bank.

本数据集旨在支撑2014年发布的报告《加勒比地区是否存在增长硬化？加勒比地区经济增长停滞》（"Is There a Caribbean Sclerosis? Stagnating Economic Growth in the Caribbean"），该报告围绕经济增长、小型经济体、加勒比地区、生产率、竞争力、宏观经济不稳定等议题展开。本报告针对加勒比国家探讨了若干关键问题：经济体量是否会对经济增长与波动产生影响？加勒比地区经济增长在多大程度上落后于ROSE经济体？哪些因素可以解释加勒比地区的增长缺口，决策者又应采取何种经济政策以推动更高质量且可持续的经济增长？报告的核心研究对象为该地区的六个国家，即所谓的"C6"：巴哈马、巴巴多斯、圭亚那、牙买加、苏里南以及特立尼达和多巴哥。不过，分析过程中有时会纳入东加勒比国家组织（Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States, OECS）的成员国，在进行总量分析时尤为常见。本报告所纳入的东加勒比国家组织成员国共六个，分别为安提瓜和巴布达、多米尼克国、格林纳达、圣基茨和尼维斯、圣卢西亚以及圣文森特和格林纳丁斯。本报告由美洲开发银行（Inter-American Development Bank）加勒比地区国家局（Country Department Caribbean, CCB）的加勒比经济研究小组（Caribbean Economics Team, CET）成员撰写。
