A microsimulation study of Covid-19‘s impact on household welfare in Ethiopia
Our study aims to analyze and learn from the unanticipated economic shocks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We examine the ramifications of the pandemic on household well-being in Ethiopia, uncovering the layers of socio-economic impact through a rigorous microsimulation exercise. Drawing on robust data from the 2018/19 Living Standards Measurement Study – Integrated Surveys on Agriculture, we assess the significant disruptions caused by the pand…

Female Entrepreneurship, Access to Credit, and Firms’ Productivity in Senegal
Despite an increase in the share of female-owned existing and new start-up firms in Senegal, there is still wide belief that female entrepreneurs are discriminated against in the credit market.

Using firm-level data and a methodological approach that consists of the data envelopment analysis, an endogenous s…

Prices and Welfare
What is the welfare effect of a price change? This simple question is one of the most relevant and controversial questions in microeconomic theory and one of the main sources of errors in empirical economics. This book returns to this question with the objective of providing a general framework for the use of theoretical contributions in empirical works. Welfare measures and computational methods are compared to test how these choices result in d…
Multidimensional Poverty Targeting
The importance of taking into account multidimensionality in poverty measurement has recently been emphasized. The poverty alleviation literature, however, has not yet addressed the important issue of policy design for efficient multidimensional poverty reduction. From a positive perspective, it is regularly observed that different poverty dimensions are often correlated and mutually reinforced, especially over time. From a normative perspective,…
Education Language and Youth Entrepreneurship in Chad
This study aims to assess the effect of education language (Arabic or French) on the probability of being self-employed in Chad. Mainly, we make use of a recursive bivariate Probit model and matching techniques to assess the effect, as well as to remedy to the endogeneity problem. Overall the analysis suggests that youths with Arabic-language education are more likely to be self-employed, however, most of them specialise in modest informal micro-…
