Towards A Virtuous Spiral Between Poverty Reduction And Growth
Revisiting cross-country poverty convergence in the developing world with a special focus on Sub-Saharan Africa
My journey through the history of development economics
This paper is essentially autobiographical and describes Erik Thorbecke’s journey through the history of development economics between the 1950s and the present. The paper consists of four parts. First, an introduction reviews briefly his professional career as a development economist and his research interactions with major contributors to the discipline. The next three parts review critically his contributions to research on and training in, re…
Inequality and the Trade-off between Efficiency and Equity
In his most recent book, Tony Atkinson (2015) provides an excellent analysis and diagnosis of the magnitude, causes and evolution of income inequality world-wide. His main message is that too much
Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction in Sub-Saharan Africa
After many years of disappointing performance, Sub-Saharan Africa has shown impressive growth performance since the start of the millenium. However, the impact of this on poverty reduction is still not well understood and this led the African Economics Research Consortium in Nairobi to undertake a major collaborative research project on the linkages between growth and poverty reduction in Sub-Saharan Africa. This volume is based on research under…
The structural anatomy and institutional architecture of inclusive growth in sub-Saharan Africa
The distinct features of inclusive growth within the context of sub-Saharan Africa are identified. The anatomy of growth is analysed by exploring the interrelationship among growth, inequality, and poverty. The present growth spell appears to have been relatively inclusive. The recent structural transformation has led to a more normal and desirable migration process. Two alternatives development strategies are described: pro-poor growth and pro-g…
A comment on multidimensional poverty indices
The Poor under Globalization in Asia, Latin America, and Africa
Globalization and poverty are two of the most pressing contemporary international development issues. Despite the enormous potential of globalization to accelerate economic growth and development, through greater integration into the world economy, the spread and transfer of technology, and the transmission of knowledge, its impact on poverty reduction has been uneven and even marginal in some regions. Both the prevalence and depth of poverty in …

Introduction
Economic Inequality and Its Socioeconomic Impact
Reducing the Number of Pesticide- Related Illnesses
The increasing number of human health problems caused by the use of pesticides serves as a warning to countries to develop preventive programs Developing countries, however, are concerned about the effect of such programs on household incomes. With Indonesia as a case study, this paper presents a procedure to broaden a Social Accounting Matrix to include the impact of agricultural pesticide use on human health This approach utilises the Constrain…
Sources of growth
A Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model of Indonesia is developed in which total factor productivity growth in manufacturing is endogenously determined. Productivity growth is conceptualized as human and social capital accumulation, mediated by learning and institutional development stimulated by the trade regime. These factors are modeled as externalities determined by export growth and capital equipment imports. The model is used to analyz…
The impact of environmental policies on household incomes for different socio-economic classes
With outdoor air pollutants in Indonesia as a case study, this paper expands a Social Accounting Matrix to include the link from the economy to the environment, as well as the link from the environment to the economy. This paper explores the relationship between production activities, pollution, and human health problems. It utilizes the Constrained Fixed Price Multipliers method to analyze the impact of policies designed to reduce the amount of …
A multiplier decomposition method to analyze poverty alleviation
The objective of this paper is to present a multiplier decomposition method focusing on poverty alleviation. The decomposition captures the various mechanisms and linkages through which a production sector's output contributes to poverty alleviation within a socioeconomic system represented by a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM). It is shown that a multiplier can be broken down into two multiplicative effects, the distributional and interdependency …

District-level economic linkages in Kenya
This paper explores the nature and extent of the economic linkages in a small regional economy defined by a market center and its hinterland in Kenya. The analysis is based on a set of income and employment multipliers derived from a social accounting matrix estimated for the region. Issues considered include the impact of production activities on regional value added and employment; the influence of sectoral production on the level of household …
Budgetary rules to minimize societal poverty in a general equilibrium context
This paper derives budgetary rules for the allocation of an exogenously supplied budget to mutually exclusive socioeconomic groups so that the maximum reduction of poverty for society as a whole is attained. Budgetary rules are derived for two mechanisms of intra-group benefit distribution and for the cases where the effects of economic interaction within and between groups is considered and where it is not. A computer simulation of the budgetary…

Adjustment, growth and income distribution in Indonesia
The paper explores the impact of the stabilization and structural adjustment policy package implemented in Indonesia during 1982-88 following the drop in oil prices on growth, income distribution, internal and external equilibrium. The paper argues that the adopted policy package that included widespread structural reforms with standard stabilization policies was successful in restoring internal and external equilibrium. The paper also presents a…

Regional and technological dualism
A ‘dual‐dual’ framework is proposed which captures the prevailing regional dualism (between rural and urban areas) and technological dualism (between traditional and modern techniques). Six interdependent sectors are specified: 1) urban formal, 2) urban informal, 3) rural non‐farm formal, 4) rural non‐farm informal, 5) rural farm formal, and 6) rural farm informal. The framework is applied to the case of Puerto Rico and its experience with an ‘in…

Factors affecting food poverty in Ghana
Household production theory is applied to the Ghana Household Budget Survey data to: (1) identify the main determinants of food poverty: and (2) determine the net contribution of children to household food availability. Results suggest income, fertility and maturity indices, age, sex, and education significantly explain household calorie gaps. Hypothesis test results (at one per cent and five per cent) suggest the contribution of children to hous…
