Digitalization and firm resilience
Over the past few decades, internet access and the adoption of 3G/4G wireless networks have expanded across Africa. This digital transformation brings both opportunities and challenges. In this study, we use panel data from two rounds of the World Bank Enterprise Survey conducted in Zambia—before and after the COVID-19 outbreak—to examine the impact of digitalization on firm resilience in a developing-country context. Our analysis employs entropy…
Aid and child health
This study explores whether aid projects help reduce child malnutrition in Malawi. • The results consistently indicate a positive impact of early-life aid exposure on healthy child growth. • The positive effect is driven primarily by multilateral aid and is stronger in rural areas. • The effect seems driven by improvements across the board rather than by interventions targeting the most vulnerable groups. • The improvements seem to be due to aid …
Depression symptoms, HIV testing, linkage to ART, and viral suppression among women in a high HIV burden district in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Achieving the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets by 2020 is contingent on identifying and addressing mental health challenges that may affect HIV testing and treatment-related behaviors. This study is based on survey data from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (2014-2015). HIV positive women who reported higher depression scores had a lower odds of having tested previously for HIV (15-25 years: AOR = 0.90, 95% CI [0.83, 0.98]; 26-49 years: AOR = 0.90, 95% CI [0.8…
Greater risk for more money
The economics of sex work and the effect on safe sex practices remain understudied. This research contributes to a better understanding of how economic opportunity and vulnerability place sex workers (SWs) at an increased risk of STI infection. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, we investigated the role of economic incentives in determining condom use among SWs. The data reveals that SWs are on average, nearly doubling their rates for co…

Intimate partner violence and HIV in ten sub-Saharan African countries
BACKGROUND: Many studies have identified a significant positive relation between intimate partner violence and HIV in women, but adjusted analyses have produced inconsistent results. We systematically assessed the association, and under what condition it holds, using nationally representative data from ten sub-Saharan African countries, focusing on physical, sexual, and emotional violence, and on the role of male controlling behaviour. METHODS: W…

Inflation dynamics and food prices in Ethiopia
Economic Inequality and HIV in Malawi
Uncovering the impact of the HIV epidemic on fertility in Sub-Saharan Africa
Factor Proportions, Openness and Factor Prices in Kenya 1965–2000
This study analyses how changes in factor abundance and openness have affected relative factor prices in Kenya since 1965, using cointegration analysis and error correction models of relative factor prices. We find that factor proportions determined relative factor prices in the long run, while openness, measured by three different proxies, possibly had a short run effect on relative factor returns. The only deviation from this pattern occurred d…

Does Market Liberalisation Increase Total Factor Productivity? Evidence from the Manufacturing Sector in Zimbabwe
In this article, we analyse whether Zimbabwe's structural adjustment programme (ESAP), implemented from 1991 to 1995, contributed to an increase in total factor productivity in the manufacturing sector. To evaluate productivity, we first estimate indexes of total factor productivity for 31 manufacturing sub-sectors for the period 1980–1995. We then use econometric methods to test for the effects of trade reform and other variables related to ESAP…
Inertial inflation, indexation and price stickiness
The Dynamics of Chronic Inflation in Brazil, 1968–1985
This article develops an error-correction model with the aim of analyzing the behavior of prices during a period of chronic inflation in Brazil. The degree of inflationary inertia is estimated, and tests for the importance of disequilibria in the domestic-money, foreign-goods, labor, and domestic-goods markets on inflation are carried out
