Oil and Gas in Trinidad and Tobago presents a historical economic
review of the energy sector of Trinidad and Tobago, followed by a
detailed evaluation of policies associated with resource abundance
and the effects on the economy from various perspectives, including
industrialization, labor productivity, education, export
diversification, and competitiveness. This book utilizes a wide
range of statistical data and methodologies to both economically
and statistically analyze these issues at hand. The content of this
book will be useful not only for policymakers but also for
researchers and students interested in the field.

This book analyzes the ways in which the Venezuelan immigrant
community is making an impact on the social and economic dynamic of
small economies. This publication addresses some of the main
economic development conversations on trade, labor, and fiscal
implications of immigration. This book attempts to collate and
unpack some of the relevant theoretical frameworks which provide a
basis for policymakers and other key decision-makers. In this
regard, the links between immigration and economic development is
discussed with a focus on Trinidad and Tobago as a representative
case within the Caribbean community.
Regional integration has emerged as perhaps the most controversial
issue within the Caribbean. While some progress in implementing
economic reforms, both at the national and regional level are
observable, the efforts made by Caribbean policymakers to
strengthen regional cooperation and integration have not yielded
the envisioned level of economic transformation. Caribbean Trade
and Integration distinguishes itself by combining history with
sound economic and policy analysis. Moreover, this book reviews a
survey of several key historical studies that have identified the
urgent need for a change in policy action among Caribbean Community
member states over time and that have outlined many pointed policy
suggestions to effect the same. The book culminates by addressing
the need to unpause the Caribbean Single = Market and Economy and
proposes a number of initiatives to generate this outcome. While
this book is written to appeal to an academic audience, it also
provides essential reading for policy practitioners, stakeholder
groups, the CARICOM Secretariat and those interested in the
dynamics of Caribbean regional integration.
The increasing visibility of individuals engaging in small-scale
business enterprises outside formal wage employment has been a
topic of debate for many years, in many countries. The Caribbean
Community (CARICOM) is no exception. In fact, the informal economy
has become a persistent feature of the region's economic landscape
and has been thriving, as documented by leading Caribbean scholars.
Informal Commercial Importers in CARICOM is the first book to
examine the various dimensions of informal commercial importing
from an aggregate CARICOM perspective, emphasizing the economic
dimensions and providing three empirical surveys of informal
commercial importing in Guyana, Dominica and Jamaica. Roger Hosein
and Martin Franklin provide a rich survey of the literature on
shuttle trading, which aids in contextualizing the range of factors
that has given rise to shuttle trading in CARICOM and enabled its
longevity. They discuss the possible effects of formalizing the
informal trade in CARICOM economies and propose strategies that can
aid in this formalization process. While this book is written to
appeal to an academic audience, it also provides essential reading
for policymakers, research scholars and practitioners alike, and it
provides a foundation for further studies of the shuttle trade in a
changing Caribbean.
Applications of International Trade Theory: The Caribbean
Perspective is an applied research-related book essential for
undergraduate and postgraduate students, policymakers, and
practitioners in the trade and development field. The book is
relevant to a range of modules that emphasise the economic
environment and perspectives needed to understand Caribbean trading
patterns. It provides a holistic and balanced treatment of various
approaches within the international trade domain as well as clarity
of exposition to guarantee that all readers acquire an ample grasp
of the theories, application and policies discussed. Much of the
content begins at an introductory level and is suited to readers
with little or no previous exposure to the economics surrounding
international trade, although the diverse nature of the topics
covered inevitably means there is some variation in the level of
analysis. Hosein makes use of numerous theoretical constructs with
the intention of familiarising readers with some of the core
concepts that underpin the complexities surrounding any study on
international trade. Although the topics have been arranged with an
element of progression, so that the chapters may be read
consecutively, the largely self-contained nature of each chapter
gives the book a degree of flexibility: chapters can be read
selectively, in any order appropriate to the reader's interest or
to the stage reached in a programme study.
This collection of CARICOM-specific research represents a spectrum
of writing on interrelated themes of trade, growth, debt and the
environment as it applies to development prospects in the
Caribbean. The contributors include a mix of researchers, at
various levels of experience and institutional representation, who
utilize theoretical and empirical perspectives to examine key
concerns of policymakers and other stakeholders. The editors have
organized the discussions in such a way as to sequence thought
about the region which emphasizes the peculiarities of smallness
and openness in the context of a globalized world. The importance
of economic integration regionally and integration into established
global production value chains are highlighted. This type of
strategy becomes obviously relevant especially in the post-Covid-19
recovery processes. Trade and Development Issues in CARICOM
represents a point of reference for regional policymakers and
thinkers to contemplate the multifaceted nature of regional growth
and development. CONTRIBUTORS: Antonio Alleyne, Dillon Alleyne,
