  • The Myth (or Folly) of African Debt

    Gianni Vaggi, Luca FrigerioARTICLEInternational Journal of…2024References: 5

    Despite past debt relief initiatives, the external debt of Africa is rising again, and it has some new worrying features: diminishing concessionality and a rising private creditor. Sub-Saharan African countries devote a significant portion of their fiscal resources to service the debt, and this prevents them from increasing development expenditures (generally imports of strategic goods that can't be produced domestically).

  • Why Gross National Disposable Income Should Replace Gross National Income

    Open AccessClara Capelli, Gianni VaggiARTICLEDevelopment and Change2016References: 16

    Unilateral transfers, and notably remittances, are a growing source of income for developing countries.

Gross National Disposable Income (GNDI), by contrast, includes both income and unilateral transfers, thus providing a more exhaustive account of people's available income in an open economy. Yet, GNDI is rarely available in maj…

  • Social classes and income distribution in eighteenth-century economics

    Gianni VaggiARTICLEHistory of European Ideas1988References: 7

    This paper examines the evolution of such concepts as class, market, competition and price in the eighteenth century. These notions had been a part of European culture for centuries, but I shall try to show that the way they were defined by eighteenth-centu~ economists led to their modern definition. The way we use these concepts nowadays is the result of the work of French and British authors during the century which preceded the Industrial Revo…
